Online Freelancing vs Offline Freelancing

[Nomad]

If you are a freelancer, you can do online freelancing as well as offline freelancing, or even try both at the same time. Based on my experience, I think finding prospect for your freelance projects is easier in the virtual world compared to the real world. What do you think?

I have seen a lot of freelancing job opportunities on newspaper classified ads. I guess you can also get a lot of freelancing assignments offline.

The main differences between online and offline freelancing.

Marketing requirements

Regardless of what kind of business you run, you have to go where the customers go to meet them. Doing business purely online, you must be able to establish a strong online presence in one way or the other. A personal website to showcase your background, skills, and portfolio is almost a must. You can get pretty far with having a good profile page on LinkedIn, too. Setting up a profile on freelance sites is the most obvious requirement. The challenge there is mainly how to differentiate from everybody else online. Your core skills therefore must be:

We all know that when it comes to anything between online and offline online system of doing things will always be better than offline method because you can stay in the comfort of your room and do whatever you want to do online but with offline and you had to go out and struggle to be able to do it. So this will also true between online freelancing and offline freelancing.

Both are good options depending on some factors tho but the ease and comfort that comes from working online make it preferable to offline freelancing for some freelancers

Online freelancing is much easier and better than offline freelancing. With online freelancing, it is very easy to get more prospects and carry out the tasks. Take for example, you can get as many orders as possible by working on fiverr as an online freelancer.

Freelancing job is best done offline because come to think of it, when you're choosing or selling gigs to personal persons but online provide a wide expanse of people one can use as advantage.

My cousin is an offline freelancer. He travels to the rural provinces to peddle his wares which are household items. His customers are supermarkets, groceries and small stores. When there is an order he gets the down payment and his supplier would do the delivery. It is like dropshipping. He earns so much that he was able to buy a home and give his 4 children good education.

How you say offline freelance is the best for now because of its high demand but I have not tried online freelance and I don't know how it operates.

That depends on your strength of influence on either online option of getting clients or offline option as some people wield more influence offline than online and vice versa

When you join online freelancing sites you will understand whst I'm saying. Online freelancing sites like fiverr, upwork and freelancer.com etc. I've not tried offline freelancing before, but you get hired to write newspapers, journals, be a pundit etc.

I also think that it is much easier to get clients online more than offline. Offline freelancing only works well if you have skills that require manual work. But for online skills, it is best to do freelancing online.

 

[GIFTMICHAEL]

I tried to get down with online freelancing earlier on through fiverr. I've already set my account to start selling my writing skills there, but my offline business never gave me chance to continue.

There I no way we can be comparing online freelancing with offline freelancing. Online freelancing is the best because of the many opportunities that it entails. Offline freelancing might be very tedious and getting more clients could be very difficult.

In offline businesses you need to search for jobs extensively from here and there, but in Online there are so many freelancing sites where you can simply enroll yourself for the jobs.

Do you actually know what offline freelancing is all about. I get paid 3X more from offline freelancing compared to online freelancing for the same job

This is also my thought because online freelancing will give you enough time but you to do your work why the offline freelancing is more complex than the online freelancing.

Both are good but depending on persons choice but for me I prefer online freelance, because everything about online is so good.
