Most FreelanceGhana employers are managers at small to medium-sized companies that are looking for freelancers for everything from small fixed-price projects to long-term relationships of a year or more. They're looking for web developers, writers, graphic designers, data entry professionals, marketing experts, business consultants and more.
First, signup for an account, post a profile and fill in your past work history and skills. Do your best to make sure that when an employer sees your application, he will be impressed.
Then start applying for jobs!
Try out small jobs first to accrue feedbacks and reviews and then go after the bigger fish.
Also, make sure you bid on projects you can deliver - desist from bidding on projects outside your area of expertise.
FreelanceGhana's forum, blog and newsletters often have more tips for landing your first jobs.
Check out the feedbacks and reviews other freelancers have left for the employers and take a look at the number of paid jobs they've completed on FreelanceGhana.
And during the interview process, pay attention to your instincts, just as you would on an interview for an in-house job: Do you get a good "vibe" from this employer? Does the work challenge you, and will you bring your best to it? Are you comfortable with the pay, the deadlines and any requirements regarding hours, communication and deliverables?
Of course. You can sign up on FreelanceGhana and operate in the name of your organization.
