Pakistan’s largest province Balochistan with an area of 3,42,505 square kilometres is perhaps also the most striking. Mostly desert with rugged hills and rocky mountains, the province also has fertile valleys having rich orchards and prosperous farms growing apples, grapes, peaches and apricots in abundance. Baluchistan also has a fairly well-developed poultry and dairy industry.
Baluchis, as the people inhabiting this land are called, are proud, robust and fiercely independent. They harbour no domination and the British who came here in the late nineteenth century learned to respect and honour.
Balochistan is said to have a large reservoir of mineral wealth. Coal and gas produced here are used by the rest of hte country.
Given the promising mineral potential that this province has, Balochistan despite its vast deserts and present wilderness may well prove to be a reserve bank for the future development of Pakistan. Fishing is the principal occupation and source of income for the coastal towns of Gwadar, Turbat and Pasni all of which are already well linked by frequent and scheduled PIA services.

Investing in stock market
Investing in stock market
If you have good income and enough money to invest, did you need to learn how to invest in stock market. Unfortunately most of people lean investing in it by hard way ;by trial and error.My experience in trading in stock market since 1970.with advice of my broker I made my first five investments. Little amount of money I made on one of stocks and the other four turned out to be loser . year after year from working with some different broker i learned that brokers not only sales men that are make an recommending to the stocks that their company or firm is recommend. Consistently most of this recommendations will outperform the S&P 500 benchmark. The broker much tell you what to buy but little tell you this is time to sell.
Some people invest depending on the basis of rumors they have heard . this is the worst way to invest . and others to come up with their investment ideas watch CNBC, but actually it's like the rope in a game of tug-of-war . one guru tell buy and the other after ten minute tell sell.
Obviously , there are many other ways make people make their investment decisions . I believe that the best way to invest in the stock market is to trade Exchange Traded Funds or No Load Mutual Funds. These investment vehicles provide excellent diversification since each ETF or Fund holds an entire portfolio of many different stocks. The firm that manage the ETF or Mutual Funds have large staff of analysts that make big studies on the companies. They examine market research on the companies' products, visit factories and interview key executives . they have real time computer and have worldwide source of information and data .Since I began to invest on ETFs I note that my investment performance is improved , in fact by a wide margin I consistently outperform S&P 500. My robust trading system is the key to Rebound Mutual Fund Trader , I generated annually rate of return 32% this is triple of S&P 500 for the same period. The subscribes in this system can doubled their money in 32 month.You will take all of emotions out of trading if you trading with trading system that has stood the test of time. Two powerful forces we are torn between them greed and fear. There is no emotions controlling in trading if you use a robust trading system , system say buy we buy system say sell we sell.no guessing the system , we sure that it ignore the signals that may be make a mistake.
Using losses stop and profit protect aid you to make relativity small loss and take you profit if the profit protect level is hit .

President Barack Obama
Barack H. Obama is the 44th President of the United States.
His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others.
With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was raised with help from his grandfather, who served in Patton's army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management at a bank.
After working his way through college with the help of scholarships and student loans, President Obama moved to Chicago, where he worked with a group of churches to help rebuild communities devastated by the closure of local steel plants.
He went on to attend law school, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Upon graduation, he returned to Chicago to help lead a voter registration drive, teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago, and remain active in his community.
President Obama's years of public service are based around his unwavering belief in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose. In the Illinois State Senate, he passed the first major ethics reform in 25 years, cut taxes for working families, and expanded health care for children and their parents. As a United States Senator, he reached across the aisle to pass groundbreaking lobbying reform, lock up the world's most dangerous weapons, and bring transparency to government by putting federal spending online.
He was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, and sworn in on January 20, 2009. He and his wife, Michelle, are the proud parents of two daughters, Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10.

Islamabad Pakistan
A relatively quiet city, Islamabad consists of mainly Federal Government offices, Parliment House, the official residences of the President and Prime Minister along with the Diplomatic Enclave, an area next to the Parliament House dedicated to foreign embassies and missions appointed in Pakistan; and covers an area of 1,165.5 km² (450 mi²) of which 906 km² (349.8 mi²) is Islamabad proper.
Although the majority of the population in Islamabad traditionally have been employees of the Federal Government, the wealth of the Musharraf years fuelled a boom in Islamabad and it is becoming an important financial and business city. In the last decade there have been vast changes in the city's traditional reputation. From it being a typical 9 to 5 city, Islamabad has become more lively with many new restaurants and hotels springing up to service this new wealth. A lot of international food chains have opened, and generally a great improvement in nightlife with increasing shopping areas opening till late. However during winter season streets are considerably quiet after dark.
Even now, Islamabad remains a city where people come from all over the country to enjoy its peaceful, noise-free atmosphere with a lot of greenery and nice surrounding scenery. It also serves as a base camp for people from the south and coastal areas like Karachi visiting valleys like Swat and Kaghan and northern areas like Gilgit, Hunza, Skardu & Chitral located in the Himalayas mountains.
You'll soon notice that Islamabad is laid out on a grid system - with E7, F6, F7, G6, G7 being the oldest sectors, F8, F10, F11, G10, G11, I8 being where the 'new money' has been invested. E8, E9 are occupied by military housing complexes and are effectively out-of-bounds, G7, G8 and G9 are the poorer areas where the city planers wanted the cleaners and office clerks to dwell. The H and I sectors are a hotchpotch of mixed use residential, academic and industrial areas. E11, E12 and even now D12 are under construction, there is even a G13 being built up. F6 and F7 are where most of the action happens, but the numbers of embassies and powerful Pakistani's dwelling in these areas mean a lot of security, concrete barriers and boomgates that happily are largely absent elsewhere. However in choosing your guesthouse F6 & F7 may be your best bet.

About Pakistan
, the land of the Mughals, is a Muslim republic located in the heart of Asia. It lies on the north-west of the Indian sub-continent, with Iran on the west of it and Afghanistan in the north.Pakistan, that multi-dimensional country of natural and historical wonders has finally arrived on the world tourist map. A journey through Pakistan is a fascinating encounter with a country that has withstood countless invasions, absorbed the culture and ethos of its conquerors and preserved their essence in monuments and archaeological heritage.
Landscapes that are the dream of poets and nature lovers, exciting mountain trails, hospitable and simple people, exotic cuisine and a culture that goes back 5000 years are just a few of the treasures that unfold once you are in the country. Half a dozen civilizations flourished here and left their signature on the culture, art, architecture and cuisine.
Pakistan is southern Asia’s best kept secret and is almost unknown to western travelers. The modern nation was created in 1947 when Pakistan, together with India, gained independence from British rule. Featuring a mosaic of ancient and modern cities, secluded mountain valleys and mighty peaks, it is a country of extraordinary variety and great ethnic diversity. Within the borders of Pakistan the mighty River Indus flows from the snow clad peaks of the Karakoram through the fertile fields of the Punjab and the deserts of Sind, to the warm waters of the Arabian Sea, a journey of almost 2000km.Pakistan fostered a five thousand year old civilization, remnants of which can still be seen in the ruins of Mohenjo Daro and Harappa. The land was an important halt on the trade route from Central Asia into India and across to China. Over the Khyber Pass, Kurram Pass, Bolan Pass and the Khunjerab Pass, caravans laden with dried fruits, silk, wool and precious stones labored to their final destinations.
So if you are seeking adventure, want to lose yourself in nature's wonders, looking for some cultural stimulation or just want to intermingle with the incredibly warm and hospitable people of Pakistan, visit Pakistan and take back lingering memories of this country of diverse landscapes and people.
The country comprises of four provinces, Punjab, Sind, Baluchistan and the North West Frontier Province (NWFP). In addition, there are the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and the northern part of Jammu & Kashmir. The capital of Pakistan is Islamabad with its twin city Rawalpindi, while its largest city is Karachi in Sind.

Balochistan - Pakistan
Quetta, the provincial Capital is the only city having a fairly dominant urban population. Until the British arrived in 1877, Quetta was little more than a fort and a small training post. The British army led by Sir Robert Sandman was charged with the responsibility of keeping the road link between the then India and Afghanistan via Balochistan open. Equally important was the responsibility to keep open the Bolan Pass connecting Balochistan with Sind. The British army, therefore, made Quetta a military centre from where to operate against the Balochis unwilling to accept foreign subjugation.Quetta, is located 5,550 feet above sea level enjoying a healthy climate. The temperature drops a few degrees below the freezing point in winter following a typical autumn when the leaves turn golden and then a wild red. Very few places can compete with Quetta valley in having wide range of tasteful fruits, exported to all parts of the country as well as abroad. There you can find plums, peaches, pomegranates, apricots, apples, olives, different types of melon, water-melon, cherries, pistachios, almonds and other dry fruits. Saffron and tulip are also grown and cultivated on a commercial scale. The fruits heaven is Urak, called SAMARISTAN meaning the land of fruits in Persian. Excavations in the Quetta valley have proved that the pre-historic humans used to live there. Mehergarh is a unique site revealing a continuous sequence of cultures in the Province. The archeological sites are considered to have been flourished between 7000 B.C & 800 B.C. Modern day Quetta is a real growing centre of excellence. It is rapidly progressing in various walks of life. ZiaratA visit to this province will however, be incomplete without a trip to Ziarat, a hill town 8000 feet above sea-level Airconditioned coach and taxis take anything between an hour or two from Quetta an ideal and relaxing summer retreat with rows of juniper trees and ever green slopes. The word Ziarat means holy place to be visited and the valley is known by that name because of a shrine of a holy saint, Tahir Baba Khirwari. There are other graves as well. However, the world knows it more because of the oldest and tallest juniper jungle, which needs to be looked after properly for future survival. Extremely delicious species of apple, black cherry and almond trees are abundant in Ziarat, covering about 4416 acres in the lap of mountains. While Ziarat abounds in tall chinar trees and juniper grows wild as does walnut and a variety of other trees, the area west of this hill station leading up to the Afghan border is rocky and barren. The drive through this unfriendly terrain provides one the grim reminder of the fierce tribes who roamed free in the region and kept the British weary and fearful. The border village of Chaman is also a major trading centre for a variety of fruit, a large quantity of which is still brought in from Afghanistan. Chashma Walk Chashma means spring in Urdu and Persian. Chashma Walk is located in Ziarat, between the lofty mountains and deep gorges, leading to the spring which provides water for the town. |
Prospect PointLying at a height of 2713 meters above sea level and 6 km from Ziarat, the beautiful place provides fantastic view.Bolan PassIf you have a passion for smelling history through places, you must visit the Bolan Pass, where several armies from Central Asia and north intruded into the lands of un-divided India through centuries. The picturesque hilly road welcomes you with cool breeze. Khojak PassThis Pass will lead you directly to the Chaman Border of Afghanistan, 153 km from Quetta. The scenic beauty is simply enthralling. The border journey is to be materialized through Khojak Sheela, a 4 km long tunnel, at an elevation of more than 1945 meters above sea level. Lak PassWhile cruising through the hilly tract between Quetta and Kalat, you would come to see the route to Zahidan, Iran. Koh-e-Taftan and Saindak copper mines are en-route. The GorgesBeing the most arid province, the Balochistan receives very low rain fall. Natural springs, used for supplying water to other places have been very common. But for now, most of the springs are artificially made by boring holes into rocks. They are called ‘KAREZ’. There are more than a dozen gorges (Tangi in local language) around Ziarat, formed by Karez water. Hazarganji Chiltan National ParkSpread over 38,429 acres at a height of 221 to 3264 meters above sea level, the Park is 20 km form Quetta, in southwest direction. There you can see a variety of wildlife. The most distinctive is Markhor, erroneously considered as Ibex by the locals, because of its resemblance. There are 225 species of plants in Hazarganji Chiltan National Park, including wild almond, juniper, pistachio, wild olive and various useful shrubs. Urak ValleyDriving through wild roses and fruit orchards, you may reach the Urak Valley at a distance of 21 km. The abundance of delicious fruits make it a real fruit land or SAMARISTAN. Hanna Lake If you wish to enjoy excursion just near the city, you must go to Hanna Lake, 10 km from Quetta and very close to the Urak. The turquoise water of lake is a real contrast to the brownish green hills that surround the area. Pishin valleyFilled with numerous fruit orchards, the Pishin Valley is 50 km away from Quetta. These orchards are irrigated by ‘karez’. There is yet another attraction of cool waters, i.e. man-made lake with Bund Khushdil Khan. A wide range of ducks provides enticing beauty during winters. The festivities include a colourful programme of folk dancing by thousands of participants from different regions. Horse jumping, trick horse riding, trick motor cycle riding, dare-devil motor car driving and a dog & hare race are among the highlights of the festival. The principal attraction of the show, however, remains the impressive display of the best available specimens of Pakistani livestock. As the sun sets over the impressive Fortress Stadium, the venue of the show, fireworks display, military tattoos and brass band pageants enliven the evenings and enthrall the spectators. Mehergarh- the newest discovery of ancient civilization During recent decades, a lot has been done to explore the culture and civilization of ancient people. The most distinguishing one is Mehergarh, which experts say remained the centre of high development some 9,900 years ago. Researchers claim that this was a civilized society of 7000 B.C that is even older than Moenjodaro and Harappa. CoastlineBalochistan shares the major part of Pakistan’s coastline, extending over 750 km from Hub near Karachi, to the Gwadar sea-port near Pakistan-Iran border. The variety of marine life, assure blue sea-water and sunny beaches provide breath-taking environment. Coastal towns of Pasni, Jiwani and Gwadar are now the centre of attraction for foreign and local investors. All are linked by air with Karachi. The people have a very colourful culture, displaying themselves briskly through their multi-colour dresses and ornaments. |

Money
There was a man who worked all of his life and saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife."
So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!"
She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket."
"Yes," the wife said, "I promised. I'm a good Christian, I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
"I sure did. I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check."

How to Make your Boyfriend Miss you - Have him Thinking of you!
In today’s world of disposable relationships, being out of sight of your partner can get you ‘out of mind’ pretty soon. On the other hand, being apart for some time can help your relationship grow stronger as well. So if you find that you have to be away from your boyfriend for some time, here are a few ways to make him miss you and raring to get back into your arms.In the days leading to your parting, do something special with yourself. Buy a set of sexy lingerie or wear an outfit your boyfriend particularly likes. Don’t get all morose and weepy just because you are going to be away from each other. On the contrary get a new hairstyle or treat yourself to a day at the spa so that you look and feel special. This will get your boyfriend intrigued about your new look just before parting and leave him wanting more.
Be affectionate
When you part from your lover, make sure it is a sweet and affectionate farewell. Don’t make him feel guilty for leaving you or turn your own departure as a way of getting back at him for something that he may have done in the past. Tell your boyfriend that you will miss him greatly and will look forward to the time when you can be together again. This will leave a sweet feeling in his mouth, as it were and make him eager to get back with you as soon as possible.
Leave a piece of yourself with him
Before you part, make sure you leave your boyfriend with something small but significant to remind him of you. Every woman has a signature scent that evokes desires in her man. Leave a bit of this fragrance on his pillow, towel or shirt. You could also “forget” your earrings or hair clip in a place where he is sure to find it. Alternately keep some reminders of the wonderful times you have had with each other. Make little notes saying “remember the time…” and hide them in unexpected places. Or leave some photos in his notebook which bring back memories of all the exciting and romantic moments you have spent with each other. However be careful not to keep anything annoying or dangerous lying around in his apartment. Also see that you don’t spoil his office wear with your perfume or mess with important data in his notebook.Using jealousy
Be wary of using jealousy as a way of making him miss you. When you are apart, let your boyfriend know that you are having a good time but as far as possible, refrain from hinting that other guys have been trying to get your attention. Far from making him jealous and rush back to you, this may lead him to feel insecure and believe that your relationship is not worth waiting for. On the contrary reassuring him of your love and commitment will inspire a stronger sense of mutual trust and give him all the more reason to return to you with express haste.
Don’t go berserk calling him
At the same time don’t go overboard with your phone calls and text messages. Let the time spent away from each other be a way of enriching other aspects of your personality and social life. Call him by all means but not as much as he may expect you to. Wait until later in the day to call so that he is excited to hear your voice. On the other hand, if he calls you while you are doing something – even as simple as watching a TV show or chatting with a friend – let the phone go to voicemail and call him back at your leisure. Think of all the times when you probably called him and had to wait for hours before getting to hear from him. You are not an emergency worker and as long as you both don’t have plans, feel free to wait for few hours before getting back to him.
Write him a letter
While cell phones and emails are excellent ways of being in touch all the time, there is nothing quite like a hand-written letter to stir up feelings of romantic desire. Use the old-fashioned way of expressing your feelings by writing a letter to your boyfriend. Quote lines from his favorite love poetry and sign off with a lipstick kiss. To make the epistle even more sensual, include a photo in your alluring best and splash some of your favorite eau de cologne on its pages. And then see if your boyfriend doesn’t take the next flight back to you!Have fun on your own
If you both have been in a relationship for some time, you may find that your boyfriend has started to take you for granted. One of the best ways to break out of this deadwood routine is to have a good time without him. Leave for a weekend trip with a girlfriend and when away, be sure he knows you are having a lot of fun. Alternately, go dancing, shopping, catch the new movie or wander around the museum even when you are by yourself. When you do this for a few times, your boyfriend is sure to miss your company and may even take the initiative of doing something exciting together.
Plan something special
Let your boyfriend know that you are planning something wonderful for the time when you can be together again. This will make him miss you all the more and eager to be with you soon. It could be as romantic as having a picnic on the beach on a moonlit night or as fun as spending a day at the amusement park. Don’t divulge the details of the celebration though or the element of suspense will be dimmed and with it his desire to meet you.
The key to make your boyfriend miss you lies in reminding him of how much fun and exciting it is to be with you. So put the time spent away from each other to good use and make him miss you more than ever.

Earn Money Online via doing Free Online Jobs
Your Guide to Earn Money Online via doing Data Entry, Copywriting etc Jobs
Do you want to make $3000+ per month easily? Via doing simple jobs like copywriting, data entry, typing, online form filling, programming, SEO and etc?
If yes, then carry on and read this freelance tutorial. You will learn the easiest and 100% legitimate way toearn lot of cash using internet.
Working at freelance sites is the best and easiest way to earn legitimate money on the internet. You are your own Boss: work whenever you want to. Most importantly, it is 100% Free to join.
Note: To get the mentioned jobs, you will never pay any money from your pocket EVER.
Please don't stop Reading... You want to earn money online right? Via 100% Free and Legal/Legit way? So all I ask is to read the content on this page and at the end, you will know about the Best available opportunity. Thousands of users are making their living online: You can become one of them : ) Or you can earn some extra money whenever you have some spare time
How much money can you earn via doing these online jobs?
Well earning $3000+ per month is surely possible: why you ask? Well because I myself have earned this much via doing copywriting and data entry jobs. I prefer only copywriting as the pay is very good [compared to data entry].
Data entry is a good option to choose if you cannot do any other job. Different jobs require us to have different kinds of skills. Like for programming work, one needs to have knowledge of different kinds of languages like PHP, ASP, .NET etc.
If a person has no skill in any field then he can do data entry jobs: as this work requires no Skill or Experience of any kind. If you can operate a PC then you can do this work.
especially the first two. Hundreds of online jobs are posted at these sites every day.
Is it free to join?
Well yes, it is 100% free to join. But there are some differences between these websites. I will explain them later and I will also explain the difference between data entry and copywriting jobs.
To make money at these sites you need to invest some Time. You will not invest any money. The only thing that you will be investing is some of Your Time.
What do you mean by Investing Time? And how will it effect the amount of money that I can earn?
If you want to make a living online then you will have to spend 8 or more hours at these sites.
On the other hand, if you only want to earn some extra cash, that is via doing part time online jobs, then you can do work whenever you have some spare time. You can work for few hours on the weekends or you can work for an hour or so on business days [after your full time day job is over].
The time that you will invest is Very Important: don't think that there is any online opportunity where you can earn money without doing any work. Anyone who wishes to make a living via these sites should be prepared to work for 10 or so hours every day: And when it comes to the Beginning of one's freelancing career, he has to work Really Hard in order to gain Ratings [I will explain more later].
In the beginning the goal is to win Your first Project. And note that it is VERY difficult [but not impossible] to win the 1st project. There are so many things to learn. But do not get disappointed as you will only work hard at the beginning. Slowly, you will start to enjoy this work. New comers will work more and will earn less but after few days or few weeks, the opposite will happen: that is: you will work less and will make much more money : )
Please bear with me... You will learn everything. All I ask is that you carefully and patiently read this guide.
Working at freelance sites is the best option for home staying Moms to make money online: You can stay at home with your children and make cash Without any kind of Investment
I shall now show you the link to the Best and Top freelancing site on the internet.
Note: Please open this link in a separate windows and carry on reading this guide. It is a complete freelance tutorial that contains lot of tips for the New Comers.
Elance
Before talking about this site in detail, I would like to explain another important thing via a simple example. Assume that you go to a shop to buy a PC Keyboard. The shopkeeper shows you four different keyboards.
All four are made by different companys and have a totally different QUALITY. Which one would you prefer to buy? If you ask me, I will definitely go for the best Quality. And to get the best, I will need to pay some price? I mean I will have to pay More Money for buying the best quality product compared to the money which I need to pay to buy a cheap product: right?
Now just like this, some freelancing sites have a better Quality compared to other sites in the same business. EL is a freelance site that, no doubt, have the best Quality. And to get any job at EL, you will need to pay a price. WAIT: I don't mean that you will pay Money: you will have to pay the price in the form of putting Effort in completing your Profile.
Still don't understand what I mean ? : )
Don't worry, you will understand everything
In order to Apply for Jobs at EL and other freelance sites, you need to get an account. At other sites, you can get an account in just few minutes. You can then start to apply for different jobs but at Elance, you may need to spend some more time to get a fully activated account.
Now are you Serious about making money online or you are just passing by and checking if you can earn some Quick Cash via doing no work?
Remember that there are no Shortcuts: In order to earn money online, you will have to do lot of work, especially at the start. Whether you want to do this as a part time or full time job, hard work will be required in both cases.
Now if you are a serious customer then you should be ok in spending a little time in getting an account at Elance right?
EL is the best in this business: Keep that in mind.
Now let us see how hard it is to get a fully activated account at EL : )
The first step is the easiest of all: simply Sign-Up. Note: users who want to get online jobs are called "Contractor". You want to earn money via doing work for other people right? So you are a contractor. People who will give you work are called Employers.
IMPORTANT: Remember to sign-up for a Correct Account. Many users select to register as an Employer instead of a Contractor. They waste lot of their time in figuring out why they are not able to get any job : )
Elance and other sites make design changes quite often: In the current design, there are two places where you may get confused and select the wrong account type. The link which I have included above, will land you on EL where you will be able to see this[Figure 1]:
You can see in this image where you should and should not click. Just remember that you are Not an Employer
Some users try to navigate in the site before they start the registration process. Some of them land on the Homepage where I currently see this[Figure 2]:
There is one other way to sign-up. At the Top-Right hand side of all pages, you can see [Figure 3]:
If you click on Register, you will then see Figure 4:
Make sure that you select the Correct Account.
After clicking on the correct signup link, you will then see a page where Four different Memberships are available.
Select to Register under the BASIC Membership account. [This is the Free membership.]
After that, you will see a Simple Form. Fill in all the information and then click on Join EL
After you complete the registration process you will then have to create your Profile. Please note that you have to create a Decent looking Profile. EL is a professional site so contractors need to be professional too, right? Take your time in creating a good looking profile. You will need to fill-in information in the following form[Figure 5]:
It is also a pretty much simply form. Write in detail about your Experience [If Any]. Show your Qualifications/Degrees [If Any]. Write other detail about yourself: write whether you are working alone or you have a team. Mention whether you are working fulltime online or you are doing this work as part time job...
In the Keywords box you can write about the specific fields/categories in which you are interested to work. For example you can write these keywords: Data Entry, Copywriting, Form Filling etc...
During the registration process or during completing the steps to create your profile, you will also have to choose a Category. THIS IS IMPORTANT. You can only apply for jobs in the category which you will select in your profile. Do not select the wrong category. For example, choose Writing and Translation category if you want to do copywriting jobs.
If you want to do data entry jobs then choose this category: Admin Support
How many categories can a Free Member choose?
Only ONE.
So it means that I can either do data entry or copywriting jobs and can't do both?
The answer is Yes and also No. Free members can only choose one category so they cannot do both data entry and writing work at the same time. Where PAID members can select more than one categories so they can select both these categories.
Can I change my Category?
Yes, but only Once in a Month.
Choose the correct category to avoid any problems.
Now let us talk about the last step in completing your profile. Look at Figure 6:
This is the point where lot of users lose interest in working at EL : )
You need to pass a Admission Test. This is NOT a Difficult Task. Passing this test is very easily if you are willing to do some research. Just note that you only have limited chances to pass this test so do little research before attempting this test.
Verifying your Phone Number is simple.
Simply click on Verify Your Phone Number and then click on Continue. Make sure that you have entered the correct Phone Number in your profile. You will then receive an Automated Call. This process is simple but you can only verify your phone number if you have already pass the Admission Test.
Keep in mind that you only have limited chances to pass this test. All you need to do is to do some research. You can even do this research While Taking the Test : )
Simply open the Help Section at Elance and then start the test.
Read the Question carefully and then answer it if you know the answer or quickly search the Help section to get the answer. I suggest you open the Contractor Guide at Elance and open another window with Elance Main Help site [the main page has a Search Box]
First try to find the answer in the Contractor's Guide: in case you cannot find the answer then open the other window and search for the answer in Elance Help database.
There are 10 questions in total and passing percentage is 80.
You can easily pass this test. Just carefully read this guide and then follow the steps which I have mention.
I suggest you take Screenshots of all questions or write down the questions for which you cannot find a definite answer. In case you fail in the first attempt then look at all the questions that were asked. Search in Elance database and try to find the answer. If you fail to find a answer then you are welcome to ask for help in our forum.
If you really are serious in joining this professional site and you are willing to spend some time in learning about EL then passing this test will not be a problem.
Once you pass the test and verify your phone number, you can then start to look for jobs. Remember that you are a new comer and have to compete with other users. Some of these other users will have HIGH RATINGs. So don't lose Hope and Do Not Give Up
In order to apply for a job, you will need to submit a Proposal. At many freelance sites, proposals are known as BIDS
Take a look at Figures 7 and 8:
These pictures show the required fields that you need to fill-in to submit a proposal. In the Top/First box, write the detail. Try to understand the work which you are required to do in the given job. For example, if the job requires you to write 10 articles about Gardening then to show the Employer that you are a Serious Contender, you can write a 100 or so words sample on the given topic and include it in the said box.
Don't just paste a sample: First write something else like: Hello, I am a new contractor but I can assure you that I will do the given work accurately and within the given time period. I just wrote a sample for you on the topic you mentioned...
You need to IMPRESS the Employer.
At the bottom of Figure 7, you can see two boxes: you just need to use the first one only. This box says "My Earnings". In this box, you will enter the amount of money for which you are willing to complete the given work.
As you are a new comer and have no RATINGs, therefore I suggest you agree to work for lowest rates.
WHAT, the lowest price? Why?
Well, what do you expect : ) ?
You are a New Comer. So you have to do work for the lowest rates.
How can you get a project for higher rates when there are many other people applying for the same project? And they may have high ratings too:
This seems to be a good time to tell you about the Importance of Ratings/Feedbacks
All freelance sites have a rating/feedback system. When a person completes a job, he/she then gets a rating/feedback. The more projects you do, the more ratings/feedbacks will you get.
The more ratings/feedbacks a person have, the more money he/she will earn. Users with High Ratings get work for higher rates as Buyers Trust Them.
Ratings/feedbacks are part of freelancer’s reputation. As you are a new user and you don’t have any ratings therefore you should go for the lowest price.
Remember: more good ratings = more jobs for you.
So in the beginning, your first goal is to Earn Excellent Ratings and for this you need to Win Your First Project.
Importance of Communication with Buyers
Communication with buyers is the most important part. Without proper communication, your chances of winning a project are almost zero. You can use Workroom Messages to communicate with Employers.
IMPORTANT: In Elance, you cannot start a conversation with Employers. In order to communicate with an employer, you first need to submit a proposal and then you need to wait for him to start a Conversation. After you receive a message, you can then communicate with him via WorkRoom.
To send a reply, Click on the Elance logo, that you will see at the very top-left hand side. Here you can see a list of jobs where you have submitted a proposal. With each job, you can see a Envelope like icon/button. To view the message which Employer has sent you or to reply, you can click on this envelope icon. This will open the Messaging Center in your Workroom.
Remember that as you will gain ratings, you will start to earn more and more.
In Figure 8, you can see an option to mention the Milestone. This is just like Escrow: I suggest you leave this for now. First earn a rating and then worry about using this option. You can also see an option to choose Delivery Time. Choose an approximate time in which you can complete the work. The last option can be used to place your proposal at the top of all other proposals. I suggest you do not use this option as you do not have lot of Connects.
What are Connects?
Please read the guides in the EL Category which I have mentioned above.
After you open the project description page, you should first read the description of the project. Make sure that you can complete the described work.
Important: You have to make sure that you can complete the work. You have to be 100% sure about it. In order to be successful at freelance sites, you need to earn excellent ratings: and in case you fail to complete a project, then you will get a Bad rating. One bad rating can pretty much end the freelance career for a new comer.
[Update: Don't make a very common mistake of bidding on projects where you are not sure what job is required to be done. Sometimes new comers start to submit proposals on different projects without reading and understanding the project description. Some of them think that if they get the Unknown Job, they will simply search about it on the internet and will then learn everything about the job in a quick time. This behavior is commonly seen as a result of Frustration or Carelessness. Please keep in mind that if you win a project that you cannot complete in the given time period, then you will get a Bad Rating. After that, no one will give you any work.]

oDesk
After Elance, oDesk is the other site which is very professional. If I start to write in detail about this website too then you would have to read 1000+ more words : )
If you are able to join EL and pass the admission test then you can join any freelance site without any problem. You should join EL and OD. Both these sites are of high quality. Joining 2 freelance sites will help you learn more and will increase the chances of you getting your first job quicker.
What payment options are available?
There are many payment options available at freelance sites.
You can select MoneyBookers [MB] or Paypal . Other payment options are not as cheap and safe as these two.
If you live in a country where Paypal is not supported then you can use MoneyBookers to transfer money to your bank account. It’s cheap and safe:
[Note: if you are living in a Country where MB is also not supported, like in Nigeria, then please use the Payoneer Debit Card option]
It’s not difficult to create an account at Moneybookers, however adding bank accounts can [sometimes] create problems. Once you verify the address and name, and add a bank account: you will then receive your money with just one click.
After you create an account at Moneybookers: go to the Profile page and click on Address. You need to verify your postal address in order to enable your MB account for withdrawals.
I personally made the mistake of not verifying my address at the time of creating my MB account. After I transferred my money from a freelancing site to MB, I tried to withdraw the money to my bank account.
Unfortunately, it was then, I found about address verification. My withdrawal was processed 40 days late because of this small mistake of not verifying my postal address when I first created my account.
Anyway, after you click on the verify Postal address button, Moneybookers will send a letter to your postal address which will contain a code. Use this code to verify your account.
[Please note that this verification letter can take up to 45 days to reach you: time varies depending on the country where you live]
After address verification, you have to enter your bank account information.
You will first transfer your money from freelance sites to your MB account and then you will transfer this money to your bank account. The whole process can take up to 14 days.
The real problem is that, you can’t use [just] any bank accounts with Moneybookers. You will need to have an account in a bank which is directly connected to SWIFT Network.
How to find out if a bank is connected to the SWIFT network or not?
The easiest way of finding whether your bank is connected to SWIFT or not, is to call your bank and ask them to give you their Swift Code.
If they have a SWIFT code, then go to your Moneybookers account and try to enter your bank account information. In case MB fails to accept your Bank account information: then it will mean that your bank is indirectly connected to SWIFT network (Not good).
If your bank account is not directly connected to SWIFT network, then go to SWIFT Directory and try to search for a bank in your city, which is directly connected to the SWIFT Network and which is nearest to where you live.
After that, you will have to go to that bank to create a new bank account. After you get a new account, enter its information in your profile at MB.
First you will request the freelancing site(s) to transfer your money to MB, then you will request Moneybookers to send these funds to your bank account. After few days, you will finally receive your funds.
[Update: I recently tried to withdraw money from MB and I got a message to verify my Name too. For that, Moneybookers sent $15 to my bank account. I then went to my bank and got a SWIFT Transaction copy of this 15 dollars withdrawal. I scanned the document and sent it to MB via their website. MB then verified my Name/Account within 24 hours. So you may also get this Name verification message anytime]
I do not know much about Paypal as it is not yet supported in my country. If you live in Pakistan or any other country where Paypal is not yet supported then you will have to use MB.
Paypal and Moneybookers have made it so easy for people doing online jobs at freelancing sites to receive their money. You just need an account at any of these payment processors and then with just few clicks, you will receive the funds in your bank account within few days.
Here is the link to the Third freelancing site.
ScriptLance
[NOTE: For The Option "Account Type", Choose "Programmer" NOT "Buyer"]
SL is the third best freelancing site. You may not be able to find lots of jobs here but it is still a decent site
SL and the last freelance site have lot in common. I have explained in detail below.
NOTE: If you want to follow my suggestion and want to join ONLY Elance, oDesk and maybe Scriptlance too, and Do Not want to read more about other sites, then you can Skip the next detailed explanation of SL and GAF, and you can jump to the last few Tips. To skip the next explanation, Please go here:Tips
Here is the link to last freelancing site:
Getafreelancer
For all new comers, my suggestion is to start your freelance career at Elance and oDesk. Anyone who likes to join another site should join Scriptlance and then the last option for you is GAF.
Registration process at GAF and SL is very simple. Within few minutes, you will get an active account.
REMEMBER : You need to enter professional looking information in all fields of your profile: people [most of them] will see your profile first before they decide to give you any work. So make a decent looking profile.
[Update: GAF has changed the rules and now we can only place bids on jobs that are posted in the categories which we will select in our profile. So, in your profile under the heading “Qualifications”, choose all the categories in which you are interested.
For example: if you have selected the data entry category in your profile and have not selected the copywriting category then you will only be able to bid on data entry projects.
PAID SURVEYS
Don’t worry: you can change/edit your profile/qualifications at any time but remember that there are only limited numbers of categories that we can choose and there are limited numbers of times, in each month, when we can edit our qualifications.]
GAF is trying to make lot of changes in their site: they are trying to catch up with other freelancing sites. However, making so many changes can create problems for users. In this Regard, EL and OD are excellent as they have been in this business for a long time and have already reached a position where they don’t need any more major changes.
After you create a profile, open GAF home page and scroll down, until you see a heading Similar to this “The 50 Newest projects”.
Here you will see a list of newest opened projects.
Recommendation: if you are not a programmer or expert in any field then you should do data entry or may be copywriting jobs. For copywriting jobs, you will need to write content in English language [in some cases, you can get projects where content is needed in a different language]. This content needs to have no or very few grammatical mistakes and absolutely no spelling errors.
Look for jobs under the “The 50 Newest projects” section. Open the project that you think you are capable of doing.
Now click on “Place a Bid” icon and then enter the lowest amount of [available] money in the bid. [Every project has its own Budget Range: so the Minimum Amount of money that one can place in his Bid will depend on this Budget Range: The lowest available Minimum Bid Amount is $30 at GAF]
After you place your bid go back to the project description page and look for a small icon called PM or Inbox [at GAF label of this icon has been changed from PM to Inbox. Also, we can now send a Private Message to the buyer on the same page where we can place our bid.].
Remember: Sending PM is the key factor in winning a project.
Send a message to the creator of the project and tell him that you are new but you can do an excellent job and that you will do it for the lowest price that he wants to pay for his project.
ALWAYS, remember to send a PM to the creator of the project, after you place your bid.
Earn Money via Teaching Online
[People who outsource jobs at GAF are called buyers]
After you send the PM, wait for buyer's response. If you get a reply, that will be your first success : )
After getting a reply from a buyer, open the PM to see what buyer replied and act accordingly.
Few things to Remember:
First of all: you can place bids on 30 projects/month at GAF. In contrast to the other website [SL] where you can place bids on as many projects as you want to.
At GAF, if you become a GM [gold member], you can then place bids on 160+ projects.
Here are few advantages of gold membership.
Note: GAF has also changed the rules for Gold Members: Now they too have to pay a certain amount of Fee for every project they win. However, this fee will be less then the fee which non-gold members will pay]. For example: if you win a project worth $100 and you are a GM, then you will get $97 after you complete the project.
But if you are not a GM, then you will have to pay 10% of total project budget to GAF.
What? I have to pay any FEE? Isn't this a Free to Join Opportunity?
Do not worry: it is 100% free to join these sites: You do not have to pay anything from your pocket. After you will complete a job at any freelance site, buyer will pay you the agreed amount of money. You will get this money in your Freelancing account.
The fee will then be deducted from your account.
See? You did not pay any fee from your pocket. You only got little less money for the work you did. It’s like a commission that freelance sites take from all members.
What is the cost of upgrading to gold membership?
It costs $19.95 per month. NOTE: Lot of users now prefer to NOT upgrade to GM. This is because accordingly to the new rules, all users have to pay a fee. Old users have a Big Quota of Bids: so they don’t need to upgrade to gold membership anymore.
Few Important Tips
At GAF, don’t click on “Message Board” to communicate with buyers. You have to find the PM or Inbox icon, look for it below or in-front of buyer's username. When you post a message in the Message Board the creator of the project will not get a notification via Email. Lot of Buyers never check the MB: but if you send a PM, then buyer will receive an alert via Email.
Don’t open any other page at GAF (other than the home page) to see the latest data entry, copywriting etc jobs. This is because it’s really hard to win old projects and on the home page, you will only see new ones.
Keep the home page opened and scroll down to the “The 50 Newest Projects” section and keep refreshing at this position: Try to be the first one to catch the newly posted projects.
The only hope for new comers to get a job is to catch the newly posted projects. If you are the first person to place a bid on a project, then the chances of winning this project increases significantly.
Before ending this guide, let’s talk about SL briefly.
At SL, if you win a project worth $100, you then get $95 in your account: because the site charges a fee of 5%. It’s a fair deal. There is no gold membership at SL. You can bid on as many projects as you want to. And there is no PM icon at SL.
In order to communicate with buyer you will have to click on “Message Board” and then you will click on "Post Message".
All other things are the same as GAF.
Be Safe And Follow The Rules
Remember to NEVER send any contact information to buyers. Contact information includes email, phone number etc.
In case you send any contact information then your online freelance career will be over for sure.
All freelance sites will terminate/suspend our account if they find any contact info in your proposal or messages.
Difference Between Copywriting and Data Entry Jobs
If you can write proper English [English without spelling and grammatical mistakes], then you should do copywriting work. And in case your English writing skills are not very impressive, then you can choose to do data entry.
Remember: there is a big difference between copywriting and data entry. Copywriting jobs pay much more than what data entry pays.
However, if you currently cannot write proper English and still want to do writing work, then you should first try to improve your English writing skills. You can find lot of Online English Learning Courses for Free.
Some Final Words
This opportunity enables you to earn legit money online without worrying about scams. Free online jobs means that you will never invest any money from your pocket. This means that you simply cannot lose any money. So you should never worry about scams while working at these sites.
