What is a freelance programmer?🤔🤔

Question

I have been seeing posts on it but don't know anything about it,when i saw a freelance website they were telling to make a bid...I didn't understand anything can somebody tell?

Answer 1

A person doing a freelance job means that he/she isn't bound to a specific company. He/she can be working for different companies at different times rather than being permanently employed for a basic salary with routine work/jobscope.

Websites which offer freelance jobs with bids are an example of such. Freelance workers bid for the job/project - The person who can do the job for less money in the shortest amount of time (in reasonable range) wins the bid and gets the project. They will then have to complete the project in order to earn the amount of money that they have bid for.

E.g. I have a project to develop a program called "Cookies4laifu". I post this job offer on a freelance website. Ace says he can complete the job in 5 days for $400. ValentinHacker says he can do it for $300 within the same period. Cheeze comes across this bid and thinks it's BS and walks away. Ahri comes in and claims to be able to complete everything in a day given $10000, but I think it's ridiculous so she's not getting it. Bid won by ValentinHacker.

The pros about freelance work is that you are free to choose your jobs/projects based on your capabilities, or simply if you like then or not. The cons, however, means that you may have a hard time getting one.
