6 reasons to start with exchanges

Some time ago, walking on the Internet, forgive me, but I do not remember where, I found an article. The article explained that registering and maintaining a profile on freelance exchanges is, in fact, the impersonalization of a performer, and if you want to be good, make and promote your website. Below I would like to give a few reasons for at least starting on freelance exchanges.

1. This is the easiest way to get started.

Indeed, if you are not engaged in the development of sites, then creating your own site will be in a certain amount, which, at first, it is simply a pity to post. You have not yet become someone significant, you do not earn a living with it - why spend money on something that you may not actually do?

2. This is the easiest way to get experience.

If you start from scratch, then freelancing is the easiest way to gain experience. When studying programming languages, at some point, knowledge reaches the point at which it becomes boring to perform examples from the book, and there is a desire to try strength in a real project. The same applies to design, and everything else. Wait until the customer comes to your site to write a program / make a logo / do at least something for 500 r? Stupid. On the exchanges, the chance to grab a project for “practice on cats” is more real.

3. This is the easiest way to learn how to work with customers.

Communication with people - 50% of the work on freelancing. The way you present yourself, how you will correspond, what set of documents you will need - at this stage it is better to train on cats again

4. This is the easiest way to learn how to plan time.

The point is certainly controversial, but nevertheless, look at this from which side: on each exchange there is a rating system and reviews. If you have successfully overslept due to excessive laziness in important matters, the response motivates you to ensure that this does not happen again.

5. This is the easiest way to run into an inadequate client / scammer.

This is also necessary. This is also important. For successful work, it is important to draw up a certain code of work with the client - transparent TK, prepayment. Until you put your nose on it - you treat everything with a certain degree of skepticism. And just feeling the hard way what it is, you begin to calculate problem customers by smell. Or do not start and throw everything.

6. This is the easiest way to make a name for yourself.

Naturally, ultimately, if freelancing is chosen as the main way to make money, then your own website will certainly appear. And it is necessary - when searching for clients through word of mouth it is much easier to say the domain of the site than to give a link to the portfolio. But at the initial stage, in order to raise morale and self-esteem, it is necessary, in my opinion, to earn a reputation on one of the resources.
