How to Decide on Getting Training for Freelancing

If you want to be a Professional Freelancer, you have to identify your skills first. Skills that are sale-able, e.g.

1. Can you sing, dance, draw well?
2. Do you understand British Accent and/or communicate with UK citizens easily?
3. How is your translation skill?
4. How is your computer skill?
5. How is your writing skill?
6. How is your commercial sense?
7. Do you have good design sense?

Then you need to identify what you like to do most? It can be watching TV or Movies is not bad. If you think you are a Romance Specialist, that's also not a problem. If you can write well, then you can be a movie review blogger or Relationship Blogger. To identify what you like best, answer these questions:

1. Which work you will do it for free even though it has high price?
2. Even after doing the job for continuous 14 hours, you do not feel stressed and sometime forget you did not have dinner
3. What satisfies you most, even if you are doing a stressful job? (Sometimes positive results satisfy you to a great extent, even though the job is something that you don't like to do. e.g. happy faces of children after working hard for a school project by your NGO.)
4. What you know best that others don't and enjoy it throughout the whole process?

After you identify the skills and interest, merge them, and try to formalize a career. e.g. I know someone who liked kids, but had a boring career in call centers. But, that person now teaches kids online and really did not leave the skills. Again for me, I was always interested about the internet, but I had a BBA degree. So, the best way I could connect my background, skills, and interest is by becoming a Internet Marketer.

Once you know what you want, then go on learning from Google. Just get some idea then go for training. I personally think that without any idea, every training is a waste of money. Because, most people, even me can not get the whole message from the training at the first time.
