To begin freelancing, you must first have a well-designed, finished, and verified profile. If you are an English speaker, you should use simple, grammatically acceptable, yet non-cliche terms and phrases in your profile so that a potential client will take notice.

Second, if you are just getting started (for the first time), you must be patient as well as determined and sincere. There are a number of elements that go into deciding someone gets a job. Some advice may work for one freelancer but not for another. However, there are a few key factors that can help you build trust and get on a potential client's radar. The first, as previously said, is to have a completely unique profile setup. Make no attempt to copy and paste "anything."

Then, if you have the time, create your own simple blog. Make some blog entries regarding the topic and link to them from all over the web and in your profile. When others comment on your blogs, this helps you acquire expertise, and it also shows clients that you are active and passionate about the subject, and that you keep up with the latest trends.

This will be determined by your level of experience, or the number of years you have worked as a software tester. I don't think anyone will engage a fresher as a freelance tester for a beginner. However, with years of expertise, you may get recruited, however the scope of the job appears to be limited in India.

Try out various freelancing sites and build a solid portfolio there. Begin testing for a small amount of money and impress your bosses with your efforts, earning rave reviews and ratings. It will benefit you in the long run, and once you have a solid rating, you can absolutely boost the rate.
