The gigs vary depending on your skills and how much work you have at the time. In general, freelancers give their services as editors, proofreaders, designers, developers, marketers and more for as-needed projects as there's an ongoing need for those skills. Once it reaches that point where demand exceeds supply then freelancers can set rates to match what they're worth because not everyone offers a specialized service. The best freelance jobs are those with a lot of concentration in a particular field. It makes it easier to charge well ahead because you'll be tapped into an existing market niche or style requirement by specializing in specific types of work.

Answering e-mails is a great example. Websites like freelancer.com, odesk.com, and guru.com are turning out to be amazing places to find or offer work for freelancers all over the world! For every request someone makes on the site, there's usually one ready to provide an answer at any given time--no waiting lists necessary! And while it might not sound like much of a skill, you'd be surprised how many people want someone who can handle their correspondence professionally and with good communication skills (something most professional gig workers often lack).

If you have specialized skills in computer programming, web designer or software developer than you will find plenty of jobs as a freelancer. This doesn't just mean that you need to know how to write code but doing some writing and content editing for websites also counts as technical work that makes it easier for others to do those professional tasks. If your computer skills are limited, don't worry! You can still make a handsome living by joining a site like Fiverr where people offer their services at prices starting from only $5. People use this service not only for minor jobs but also more serious tasks such as voiceovers, composing music and making animations - all these services are available with the cheapest price tag of $5.

Corporate jobs are in demand because they lack the resources to find new employees efficiently. Freelance positions can range from web design to digital marketing, but what they all have in common is the need for an individual's creativity and focus when it comes to reaching clients' requirements. Those two skills are hard for corporate entities that operate under thousands of employees with individual skill sets and deadlines that vary and vary greatly. For example, a website redesign can take one day or five days depending on how large the site is and how skilled the freelancer is at his/her profession.

Designers, developers, programmers, strategists and communication specialists are in high demand. The most in-demand skills yesterday were web design, digital marketing and communication.
