The concept of Freelancing is different from a conventional job because it gives you the freedom to be your own boss rather than being employed by someone. Freelancing is for all those people who are not happy with their 9-5 jobs, and don’t want to follow the mechanism of conventional jobs. Freelancing is better than any other job because it gives you freedom of time, and there is no need to follow a formal working environment. But hard work, self-assessment, and dedication are the most important factors to be a successful freelancer.
00:13Friends, as a freelancer, emerging trending skills change in every freelance marketplace.
00:19Now in 2020, there are some skills that will be in demand.
00:24I am repeatedly asked this question on my social media, on Digiskills, everywhere, as an instructor, as a freelancer who has been doing it for over two decades.
00:33Sir, what are the most in demand skills?
00:35Remember, the most in demand skills are those which are your own skills.
00:40That is, if you acquire a skill, it is your demand.
00:45This will be related to you.
00:48But with my observation and experience, I would like to discuss with you some emerging skills that have been going on for years.
00:56Number one, virtual assistant.
00:58Now why did I name it virtual assistant?
01:00Whether you make a gig on Fiverr, or bid on Upwork, or bid on Guru.com, or freelancer, or any other freelance marketplace.
01:08This is the skill that does not require a degree.
01:11It only requires practice.
01:14Virtual assistant, in my opinion, stays on the top.
01:17After that, there is writing and editing.
01:19There is a lot of demand for writing.
01:21Whether it is related to thesis, whether it is related to course material.
01:27Whatever it is, whether it is a book, a pamphlet, a booklet, whatever the publication is, there is a demand for writing in it.
01:35Then, graphic designer.
01:37This order was created by me, so don't worry.
01:40I have been recording this video since 1999 and in the coming times.
01:47This freelance skill will remain.
01:49That is why I used the word forever.
01:51Graphic designer will always be in demand.
01:53Spreadsheet.
01:54You don't need rocket science.
01:56You just need to learn how to play with Excel, learn its commands, learn its basic functions.
02:04So you will automatically…
02:06Macros, etc.
02:07You can automatically excel.
02:09Customer service.
02:10There are a lot of websites.
02:11There are a lot of businesses in America, especially in the West.
02:15They need support staff.
02:17You can fill in support staff as a customer service.
02:21Video creation, which is called online video creation.
02:25This is in demand.
02:26Someone has to edit their video, someone has to create a video, whiteboards and so forth.
02:31Then, relational databases.
02:33It is self-explanatory that you should have the programming skills of relational databases.
02:40Accounting and bookkeeping.
02:44DigiSkills is running a course on QuickBooks.
02:47I can say with confidence that if you are interested in finance and numbers,
02:52you should take up accounting and bookkeeping.
02:56Learn QuickBooks.
02:58The best instructor has taught you.
03:00After that, you will see how you succeed.
03:03The last two are relatively difficult, but they are in high demand.
03:10Especially, blockchain development, where you have to make tokens,
03:14related to coins or related to blockchain stamping.
03:19This is in high demand in the outside world.
03:21And finally, low-code development.
03:23These are jobs related to basic coding.
03:26Maybe HTML can fill it in.
03:29Or if you want to write a program, you can learn this skill.
03:34None of these skills contradict each other.
03:40They do not counter-match or contemplate.
03:43None of these skills are considered a degree.
03:46And you can work without a degree.
03:48None of these skills do not tell you the importance of a full-time degree.
03:53They do not emphasise that if you do not learn this skill, you will succeed.
03:57This means that I want to establish a relationship between skill and degree.
04:02The skills that I have pinpointed for you on the screen,
