		<description><![CDATA[This post is a quick follow-up to my previous post. I have received a number of queries about what you can do while freelancing online. Note: What&#8217;s classified as freelancing online is work that&#8217;s done purely online! This means all communications, work and delivery is done remotely (via email, instant messenger, video conference, web downloads, sometimes telephone, etc). You never get to see your client face-to-face. So, here&#8217;s what&#8217;s currently popular as freelancing works: 1. Design Not inclusive of programming &#8211; usually you just provide psd files. Website design (static, cms based, flash, html5) Mini website design (one-page promo website, pop-up, sales webpage, etc) Newsletter design UI/UX design (for applications) Graphic design (business card, brochures, corporate stationaries, posters, etc) &#8211; always a bonus if you know print and prepress process if you work on this space. 2. Programming In the online freelance space, the most common applications are: PSD to HTML/CSS/JS PSD to CMS templates PSD to WordPress (HOT! HOT! HOT!) or Joomla or drupal template WordPress, Joomla, Drupal template customisation or new plugins (in PHP) Other web applications (in PHP &#38; mySQL &#8211; e.g. contact forms, customer registration, invoicing systems, eNewsletter, etc.) Twitter applications eCommerce websites iPhone applications (objective C or web based) (HOT! HOT! HOT!) Facebook applications (HOT! HOT! HOT!) Interaction design (JQuery and Flash applications (AS3 or AS2)) Other application programming can be done remotely as well (i.e. using JAVA, C, C++, .NET, etc) but not as popular as what&#8217;s mentioned above. I think because we&#8217;re working on webspace, web-based applications is so much more on demand. I have also seen an increasing number of mobile applications and social media integration projects. So, this is where you should update your skill. Note: I notice that you tend to get more work if you can do BOTH design and programming (e.g. design and develop the website or design and develop the wordpress template). What people don&#8217;t realise is, it&#8217;s hard to find a good designer who is an equally good developer. So, consider collaborating with other freelancer if either one of these skills is not your forte. 3. Writing Blogging (HOT! HOT! HOT!) Copywriting (writing marketing copy for websites, brochure, etc) Content writing (provide ghost writing services for ebooks, news site, eZines, content specific websites, or any websites really) Offline Ghostwriting (writing for books, newspaper articles, etc) Editing and Proofreading (mainly online material) Translation services (English to any languages and vice versa). 4. Webmastering Optimise websites (Search Engine Optimisation/increase ranking on search engine results, increase google page rank, increase traffic, etc) Managing and updating websites Ghost-blogging (Running blogs that are not yours) End-to-end services (design, develop, write, optimise, manage). 6. Illustration and Digital editing IMO, on the web, unless you&#8217;re a good digital artist.. (people commission for your artwork because they admire you) the hot skills right now is VECTOR. Be it vector icon, vector background, vector illustration, etc. Vector Illustration (Adobe illustrator, Flash objects, etc) Image Editing/Manipulation Icon development Game illustration any other digital artwork (anime style, fantasy illustration, concept art, etc) to be put on...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, I am offering either: WordPress (as a blog or website) theme design or customisation, set up and plugins integration, or Custom website design and development&#8230;. actually&#8230; Any multimedia service is negotiable in return for Adobe CS5 Master Collection Full license. This service is valued at $60K if you go to a big consulting firm $20K at a design studio $10k if you catch a talented freelancer in a bad mood $5k if you are friendly with the said freelancer [undisclosed amount] at the designer sweatshop or design black market  Now you can get it for just a fraction of a price&#8230; or a software. Do check out my portfolio and hit me up if you&#8217;re interested. First in Best Dressed! I know I can just simply buy the license myself but it&#8217;s more fun this way. You get to do a project, meet new people and learn a new thing or two. Besides you can always said to your friends (or mum).. hey, someone bought me an expensive software. Ok, not really.. I just like being sponsored As usual, there are a lot of magic in the new version of Adobe CS. This time, I am mostly looking forward to: Flash Professional CS5 &#8211; iphone wrapper and all the new things Adobe promised will be awesome. Flash Builder (Previously Adobe Flex) RIA creator Flash Catalyst&#8230; Ok, I don&#8217;t really see the point of this interaction software since you can create it using Flash Pro, but I am curious nonetheless.]]></description>
