Though I said in first episode, yet talking again for keep in mind, who provide jobs in oDesk,
I mean who submit jobs in oDesk, they are called client and who works I
mean freelancers called contractor. In the last episode I said I’ll
discuss about account creation in second episode.
Here is a good thing to be beginning.
Once in a while oDesk small changes or update their features. So it will
be shown here in the future may not look exactly the same. However,
there is nothing to fear, main content fairly similar to the original
content. So you can start without any anxiety. Never be hopeless or
excited if you look for something new or unexpected. Keep the head cool;
try to understand with the patience. However, if you can understand
English well the small change does not seem such a problem. So, just not
for oDesk, you will have to move skills in English for freelancing.
Because, freelancing marketplace clients are communicate in English.
Clients send mail and message for contact. Sometimes the clients want to
talk on Skype. So if you cannot communicate in English with clients,
then you will face a serious issue. So if you’re other languages people
than English, you should try to achieve skills in English, as well as
your own language. As English are an international language and the
people of almost all countries and all languages of the world using this
language to communicate with the world. So there is no chance to avoid
this language. Proficiency in English should be lot of benefits for
success of freelancing. However, no more talk, let’s start.
