Freelance – real solution to make money online

The most common mistake – it's a wrong planning of work time. Most freelancers start spending it inefficiently, spending time on communication in forums, viewing news, hanging in front of TV ... Remember, if you don't have a head, who would have watched over your work, it doesn't mean that you can work in a slipshod manner. Another mistake – take a job that is not suits your efforts and skills. In the beginning of the career “free artists” are not always adequately assess their capabilities and take on the work that they can't finish properly.

There is another point: many freelancers are ready to work for peanuts. For 14 hours a day on cheap orders. But you can earn much more.

It happens all the time the work is delayed “for later”. While any job can be divided into several stages. And the most difficult, in practice, it's better to do at the beginning of the day. At present, it is proved that a person needs a rhythmic rest. Arrange a small work breaks with regular intervals. So you will be able to maintain its performance to the end of your workday. Also arrange weekends and holidays.
