I sold my time answering questions at Quora. If I can so you can. Way back in August 2016 I was urgently looking for a client to make some money and pay my bills. I often use email marketing to reach to potential customers.
I filtered my email and found an email where client said to get back to me later. I followed up the communication and emailed again asking if there is any work. This time reply came like, yes, can you answer questions over Quora.
Next phone conversation happened. Requirement was to answer questions around copy writing, seo and social media marketing. Next come budget in question. Since this was some consultant who was outsourcing work to me, price was obviously low, but not bad. I got set for Rs. 2500 per month other than weekends. I received 50% upfront.
In freelancing we need to over deliver not only one, two or three times but 10 times more.
I answered 3 to 5 questions daily. And at the end of the month I got a repeat customer to work on other projects. If I can so you can.
