Can anyone provide an answer to this one?

Hey TRHers!

I don’t know how to start this one, so will directly jump to my question first.

Are there any opportunities for freelancing in date modelling?

I work with a Telecom company in the Business Planning function. I have quite a good hand in MS Excel and I do keep making different kinds of spreadsheets for myself, friends and anyone who needs them. 

I have, since some time now, been searching for freelance opportunities. . But I have never been able to get any. I tried freelancing portals like odesk.com. I didn’t find them useful for such opportunities. Actually there were none of such type. 

I had even offered to do freelance for some friends who approached me for making them sheets for their personal finance management. But idea didn’t fly because none of them wanted me to get an idea about their finances. And friends are never paid! 😉

I have seen TRH to be resourceful and DOES have answer to almost any question. Can anyone provide an answer to this one?

Asha – if this post sounds like not-to-be-posted-here, please do feel free to remove. Actually I have already faced such reactions on a couple of websites. Hehhe

With good intent!

  1. Hey Mohit,

    you can do a lot with EXCEL skill as most people CANNOT I repeat CANNOT use excel sheets properly. There’s site that makes presentations for people. its called pptsalon . I advise you can develop something on similar lines. Even better, if you know excel from A to Z, you can start teaching to people and charge for it( As they say, “If you are good at something, never do it for free). Something like ‘We excel you in EXCEL” Most of the time people have to deal with excel sheets and they panic.

  2. Mohit you haven’t mention your skill set & talent much, freelancing can cover many things. Excel sheet is a tool may be just excel sheet is not enough. May be you can take training on excel sheet. I have heard from many corporates that they are always in dire need of excel trainers inhouse and external too.

    People who put there requirements on sourcing platform and entrepreneurs are a smart bunch, they learn easy things like excel as easy as HTML on there own in no time. And now a days they are finding better alternatives for maintaining personal finances on apps. Still take a look at chandoo.org he does awesome excel and is very successful.

  3. Check this up here 🙂 Maybe you can co work with Sunaina a lot more than just Excel with your Knowledge in the field of the trade. 

    GreynGreen.in is out!!!

    Then again if you are Creative too there is a whole Line of things you can do than Just Crunch numbers with Excel, check here to get yourself started 😀

    It would open up a lot of avenues for Collaboration!!! 

    Cheers!!!
