It's hard to pinpoint exactly what "best practices" are for getting online freelance jobs. For some, it might be through developing contacts who hire someone like them on a regular basis. Typically, recruiters will outsource the search process of finding freelancers to trusted sources that they know and then take on the role of middleman in bringing together freelancing job seekers with global brands or large independent agencies. Similarly, certain social media sites like Fiverr allow people looking for freelance work to post job postings (or offers) there and filter out prospective clients by category or price range before considering whether they would want to pursue the project further with any given client.

There are million ways to get more freelance work. One way is posting ads on websites like Craigslist, LinkedIn or Twitter. You can also post ads for your freelance work at sites like Flexjobs.com, Elance, Odesk and Guru which links businesses with professionals in specific industries seeking hourly or project-based work. Another possible strategy is to simply reach out to people of influence in your field either through email or even a phone call -they may provide opportunities that you otherwise don't know about if contacted directly! Lastly, avoid the 'I'm looking for something!' approach by presenting yourself as a problem solver who has solutions of value rather than just being another person looking for something that's never there to begin with.

Grow your network. Don't be afraid to reach out to others in the industry, or clients you've worked with before. This is an essential step for finding your desired freelance jobs because it helps make connections and increases awareness of what you offer. Consider writing a blog (or joining one already written) to stay relevant and share experience, expertise or work samples with potential clients. Post on job boards. There are many sites that specialize in connecting freelancers with opportunities. Be sure when posting these ads that they're properly formatted for search engine optimization (including SEO keyword phrases), feature specifics about when work would start, mentions of technical requirements including necessary software, etc.

Well for you it really depends. The easiest way to find freelance jobs online is by searching for them on sites like Freelancer, UpWork, Guru, and Thumbtack. It takes a little bit of practice but once you get the hang of it, there's no reason why you can't be generating work within hours instead of days or weeks. The phone book/yellow pages are also great places to start. For example try looking up niche professionals in your area under "on call" or "offshore". There are lots of these types of services out there where specialists offer their time at different rates per hour.

The best thing is to just start small. Some people have mentioned needing a portfolio with skill sets and your level of expertise, but the more time you put into online research and self-teaching, the more confident and skilled you will become. Lesson two: always make sure users know where to find you after they contact you for more information. First of course it's important to establish an online presence. A website, Facebook page or Blog are good places for this - don't forget that competition on freelancing sites is fierce so it's really helpful if someone clicks on your name, sees something interesting there and then comes back here when looking for more details about freelancers they're considering hiring!
