There’s now a new way to work. With the use of the Internet, we’ve been given more opportunities to work remotely. The virtual world is booming, you can see the revolution in virtual work, mobile work, working from home, and more.

As long as you have reliable internet access and a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, you can work anywhere, anytime.

Knowing that, how can you start work when you have all the requirements above?

Let us make it easy for you and you can start working immediately.

How does it work?

So, this is the big question. How can you work when you don’t know where to start?

Here are some tips on starting out.

Know your strengths and skillset

Yes, you might have the opportunity to work anywhere, but what are you offering to your potential clients? You have to know what your strength and weaknesses are and work on those.

Create a CV or portfolio

Are you familiar with websites that allow you to make your own portfolio? If yes, then create one for yourself. This widens your reach and makes it easier for companies to hire you.

You can also create a minisite where your basic details are there such as social media profiles and a chat where your potential clients can reach you.

YouTube is also available for embedding, so you can link the videos you’ve worked on.

Set-up your payment accounts

Without setting up your payment channels, you can’t get paid. Usually, clients pay via third-party websites such as Payoneer, TransferWise, or PayPal.

Therefore, set up your account ahead so you only need to give your account to your client.

What if you’re working as an independent freelancer? This means that you don’t work for a company or you work for yourself. You’re the boss.

If you want to get paid and send a payment request to your customer, then you can also use the above websites but they have huge transfer fees.

We recommend using RumbleTalk as we also use PayPal to transfer payments directly to your account.

In the next paragraph, we will be talking about how you can do that.

Using a chat platform to start remote work

Since you already know what you should do to get started, then you can start working on setting up your chat platform.

You can create a minisite at RumbleTalk. From there, you can also set up your social media accounts, a short description about yourself, a YouTube video for your skillset highlight, and enabling the in-chat payment option for payments.

Here’s how you can set up your page.

First, log-in to your admin panel or sign up at https://www.rumbletalk.com if you don’t have an account yet.

Then, you will see Page on your admin panel. Click that.

on your admin panel. Click that. After clicking it, you will see your page. Change the elements as you see fit.

See below an example of a freelancer page.

You will see that there’s a LinkedIn account that’s linked below the YouTube video. You can also add your own link. It can be your website, portfolio, etc.

Setting up in-chat payments

Remember that we said earlier that you can get paid directly in the chat? So, here’s how you can do that.

First, log-in to your admin panel.

Then, click Monetize > Monetize Settings .

> . Enable Payment Requests towards the end of the page.

towards the end of the page. Save your settings.

By enabling payment requests, you can send your clients a kind of invoice or total for the work you’ve done. Your earnings will be sent directly to your RumbleTalk account.

To see your transactions, go to Monetize > Monetize Records.

Private payment requests will appear as Requested payment on your records.

We only take a 10% commission fee, which is significantly lower than other chat platforms or third-party websites.

In-chat payment can not only be used for remote work but also for live events, freelance work, small businesses, and more.

Starting your remote work journey

Now that you have your own chat platform that you can work on, it’s time to market yourself out there.

Try social media sites, websites, or sharing your portfolio with your community. After that, you can direct them to your minisite, talk about your terms, and start working remotely.

Remote work is not hard anymore since the Internet allows us to be connected all the time, anywhere in the world.

With RumbleTalk, you can take that connection to even greater heights. We even have a professional account if you want to up your remote work game.
