The road to becoming a freelancer starts by joining freelancing platforms. You should begin by joining Fiverr and Upwork. There are many other freelancing platforms but these two are the most trusted and the most popular freelancing platforms where there are millions of buyers. On Fiverr, you will be creating your services for selling (popularly called gigs on Fiverr). You make money when someone buys your gigs and you complete the order. On Fiverr, you will have to apply to the available jobs, and when you are hired to work on the job and complete the job you make money. These marketplaces are very competitive and you should have patience. If you have accounting skills and knowledge, you can create gigs related to accounting and bid on jobs related to accounting and bookkeeping. A lot of care should be taken while creating your freelancing profile, you need to share your work experience.
