The best one is networking. Doesn't matter what kind of job you do, it is all about getting the work. You are not a developer? Find a work for a developer and then get paid a lot and pay someone less to do it.

You got a job for designer? Get the job and pay another designer to do it. You can always hire someone else who would be willing to work less than what you are paid to do, not going to be quality work at first, but the more you do it, the more network you will gain and the more money you will get paid. Keep them in a single place as well, that is important. That could be a website, or a forum page dedicated to it, or anything else you want, but put all of the work you have done in a single place so you can link that to potential business chances.

I want to know, have you ever tried doing business?

we can't deny that everyone's luck is different in this crypto world, some are successful with their tokens, their marketing skills or others but you can start trying to do business, maybe that is your way out. if you live in a crypto-friendly country then you can do clothes or other business by accepting payments with crypto, just try it first with a small capital and then develop it to be bigger.

Yes, you can usually see what the most popular freelancers are doing, so do some research and see what skills they're using to get inspired. You don't have to be the best writer or the best at graphic design or the best at code. You can start simple and focus on building up your portfolio. Look for simple jobs that you are very good at and that you have done before. It may be something like editing and proofreading or writing technical documentation. Once you have some of the basic skills, then it is easier to take on more complex tasks or higher-level projects.
Some of the major and popular freelancing websites are Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer.com, Guru, Flexjobs, SimplyHired, LinkedIn... as well as many others. Find a few freelancing sites that you think are best suited to your niche and tailor your profile to match what they are looking for.

Never give up. Don't be discouraged by rejections or mistakes. Learn from your mistakes and get back on track. Remember, nobody is perfect.
The key to getting freelance work is networking. After joining a few freelancing websites, join some chat groups and answer some questions. These groups are great places to network and find new opportunities. Once you are ready to branch out, send out your profile to friends and family and let them know you are looking for work. Ask your friends, relatives, or anyone you know for a project to work on. You can also just contact businesses directly and ask if they need someone to fill in for them. In general, businesses are more likely to hire a freelancer who they know and can contact in advance rather than hiring someone out of the blue. The best way to network is to just get out there and start asking.

Freelancing is a broad choice of job.
You might not become successful If you're forcing yourself to learn on something you're not passionate about just to earn more money.
You need to find that desire and passionate first.
When you're sure about that, then that's the time you decide to pursue that kind of career, may it be crypto related or not.
I am a freelancer too in both crypto and non crypto job.

It's not really the amount of money that's important to your career, it is actually the job that you're passionate about. When you're in that right path, you can always find a way to make more money with what you have right now by improving yourself to become a better version of you every single day.

In most of the freelancing sites, you can see some of the work that the most popular freelancers are doing, so research them and see what kind of jobs they are doing. This will help you to get a feel about the market. Think about it - the best freelancers are not the ones with the highest amount of experience, but those who are the most versatile and who work at the intersection of all those skills. Web development, WordPress, graphic design, marketing, SEO, and social media are some of the most in-demand jobs in the freelancing market. If you have experience in one of these, then consider yourself really lucky! You’re already ahead of the game!

If you want to do copywriting or rewriting as a freelance job, I would suggest to read books more. It will make your writings more rich. I would also suggest to focus on one or several topics you are going to write about, for example crypto and finances (dont try to be an expert in every topic), and pass some free online courses. So you wont get confused every time read that blockchain is a chain of information

     You are correct and I agree with you what you said it is better to focus on things you are already familiar about and increase your skills in that profession. Which is why I said that the op must be wary because having too many can make him lose focus, lol. I purposely placed lots of sources to widen his options and clearly stated he can learn one or multiple skills. But hey, I understand your intentions in helping and I respect that. No hard feelings brother.

These 3 things will help you.
1. Freelancing websites
2. Youtube
3. Google

Google in searching for the most in-demand skills for freelancing, Youtube for tips and tricks that will help you in your journey and Freelancing websites such as Upwork for you to find the clients that you would want to work with. Starting a new skills is very hard and you need patience. Maybe anything related to computer such as Programming or maybe anything related to Blockchain might help you since both of them are related to our current state of technology right now. In the end, you pick what suits for you and what you love to do so that you are making money and at the same time enjoying what you are doing.

Freelance work is certainly very dependent on the conditions and the time we have, but if our time is very little it becomes a Bounty Hunters is a very easy thing we do, we only need a PC and internet access and social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Discord, Telegram and etc

Actually it depends on what people like because there are also people who prefer to start new skills even though it does take time to learn it,
to improve skills also takes time although it doesn't take as much as starting a new skill,
what's clear is that it all depends on each person

Evaluating and further developing current skills is a better option than learning new skills. You don't have to start from scratch to build a portfolio and of course you also know how much competition there is in your field. Now compare it to you want to start a new skill where you need more time to learn it and explore the existing competition.

There are many jobs to be done as freelance work, I would say many jobs have the ability to be done a freelance job, depending on your self and your skills you can choose one, if you have the ability to learn a programming language and start developing websites that's can be a good option for you to do because there not so many trusted and professional developers and you can have good chance to get an offer, but as another option, you can start writing articles for people since there is a good demand for it here on the forum.

The most lucrative skills are the hardest to learn.
Programming and webdesign are way harder than article writing,but they are more lucrative.
You don't just have to learn a skill.You have to become really good at that skill,because the competition is furious and no buyer would want to hire a rookie programmer,instead of an experienced programmer.
If you ask me,freelance is a rat race and only the best and hardest working will survive the competition.
Another problem with freelance is having to find good customers.Most customers would want you to do more work for less money,which is unacceptable for me.You have to know your worth and you have to know how to "sell" your skills at the highest price possible.

It depends on your interests. Having interests aligned with your goals makes everything much easier. Wheras having goals which do not align with your interests will make things difficult.

There are many educational resources available, some of which offer academic degrees for course completion and a lump sum.

You'll have to try different things to see what you're good at and which type of things you enjoy the most.

Aside from the upwork site, he can search freelance jobs within his area. Because it is better to look for other freelance jobs that are near your area because it means, you can get your payment easier as you know your area well. You can even meet-up those persons requiring your services. So before you go to online sites, check first in your area. Somebody may need your skills nearby, who knows?

It is understandable that you want to earn more, however you need to take into account what are your current skills and what you could learn in a reasonable amount of time, just to give an example, programming is probably one of the best skills that you could learn in order to make some additional money, however it is not easy to learn on your own while the competition is also fierce, and if you are not interested in the topic then chances are you will not become good at it even if you dedicated a significant amount of time to it.

Their was lot of freelancer work now a days.Mainly video making for the promotion of the crypto projects and other projects.You can try of Fiverr for the usage of client contact.If you work faster and use and huge supports.Surely you can earn upto 800$ in a week.You can create a team with your friends and get many projects in a week.You should take care of all the project with cent percentage of concentration.If not,you may forced to lose the name and all the projects.

It's clear that determining interest is the first option the OP has to fulfill and that will help him have a good focus on maximizing his abilities. The question feels very easy to the OP but finding the right answer for him requires that we know what he is really interested in. I can't pinpoint any work on this forum that would increase his finances, but a signature campaign could help him too.

OP, it's hard to pinpoint which jobs on this forum can earn you a consistent monthly steady income. Even signature campaign will eventually run out, but there are plenty of jobs out there that you might be able to do like mining, content creation or others. Everything needs a process, but if done consistently then you will reach the point of success later.

Before you jump into the freelance world, you must know your interests as a freelancer and match what is needed on a freelance website if you are looking for freelance work online. In my experience as a freelancer in Upwork (https://www.upwork.com/), at least we have adequate certificates to do a job, experience in that field and reviews from previous jobs will also determine if you are accepted as a freelancer in that/next job.

Now there are many online trainings, and at the end of each training session we will also get a certificate as a provision to look for work.

Try to look on what are the current demand and jobs that are rampant on listings  and you would able to find out on what specific skills are needed which i do know that it would be
mostly in programming are which is something that wont be easy for anyone to take up some course unless if this is your line of education or you had graduated on this one
then you would really be having the chance but if not then you do need to learn up everything or do need up some schooling. Maybe too late?
It would surely takes time.
