Having been a freelancer for over 5 years now, I know that it is not easy to sustain on that type of income full-time. However, one can easily make a few hundred dollars by doing freelance jobs. It wasn't until this year that I started to pay more attention to the expanding opportunities offered in the freelance marketplace online. I have editied freelance projects that included Hollywood actor Will Smith on the Set of Bad Boys II, Weddings and other media related projects.

Some of those jobs paid little to nothing at all. While these jobs were obtained offline through networking, friends and colleagues, the online freelance marketplace is exciting. I know some women and men who have made over $1000 by doing freelance jobs that they obtained online. The amount that one is paid could be more or less depending on what the job is. This is not much different from freelance jobs that are done offline. I have worked on some video projects that brought in $400 while others paid $100.

Considering how competitive the entertainment industry is, freelance jobs obtained online can be very rewarding. Now, I have studied some of the areas that I work in such as art and video technology. That does not mean the online freelance marketplace is only rewarding for those who specialize in a given area. You do not have to have a degree to be able to take freelance jobs online. Most clients are only concerned with the quality of your work. That is what makes it even more worthwhile. There are lots of opportunities in the online freelance marketplace for men and women who are skilled in writing, art, digitla media, photogrpahy and more. The online marketplace makes it even easier for a freelancer to find more jobs. Now, it is up to us to go after those jobs and make some more money.
