there are a lot of different types of freelancing works.most of them need some specific knowledge of software or script workings.as we have categorized the types of freelance works,now we proceed to the tools that we need to fulfill these works.every job may need tools or software that are out of our discussion capability,but we can learn to use some that come in handy in almost every online works.you may find that some works that you thought difficult are,actually real easy ones.lets dig in.
1.webhost:there are debates about which is the easiest freelancing work.although many comes to mind,website script installing is a type of job every freelancer wants to bag.why is that?its simple to install,but the outcome is rich and powerful.cms,blog,forum,wiki,lms and every other website may be power started using corresponding webscript.but there has to be a webhost to learn how to install these scripts,before you take down work for installing scripts in a client server.so everyone at first need to practice installing for themselves at a real webhost.there are a lot of freewebhost out there which are sufficient enough to try and learn installing scripts.they come with control panel,mysql data base,email and even pretty moderate file size limited file manager.ill post a new article featuring some of the free webhost out there.
2.xampp:if anyone cant find good free host for some script,they can use xampp for windows to try that on their local machine.
the guidelines are pretty straight forward.and you can use it without internet connection.the home pc works as the server in this case.
3.notepad++:is there any editing work around where code editing of inside of an script is needed to be edited?then notepad++ is the promising tool.i think its fair to say im the only one who uses notepad for this type of work.but believe me when i say,it makes working with code a whole lot easier.its most useful feature is the find tool,which can be used to look for a specific code inside a folder of php coded files.a post featuring how to use this free but wonderful sofware to edit codes like a pro is coming soon.
4.rapidleech:
its a popular script for downloading files from various filehosts.there are a lot of variants of this script too.why is this needed for freelancing?in one word:backup.the most ignored feature of rapidleech is that it can upload files to a lot of filehosts in lightening fast time,depending on the speed of the server.it can even email the files.using rapidleech,one can restore and backup big sized websites within minutes.and without downloading anything to the pc ever!where it could take one hour,rapidleech does it in 10 minutes.a post detailing how to use rapidleech to backup and restore websites is coming.
5.photoshop:ps is needed for logo and banner making.but another use of ps is to slice pdf templates into wordress templates.
we will use photoshop with a plugin called divine project to do this in a later article.
6pixlr:this tool is a personal favourite of mine.it is a online photo editor,best for making quick edit or making simple logo or banner,without using the expensive photoshop.its totally online,and does not load much on your computer.and as its a online tool,one can use it anywhere.a simple logo making will be shown later.
6.gmail:
you must have an email account to have your presence in the freelancesphere,and use gmail for that.it has great use for labels to organize,and to save backups of your works.its the most safe place,safer than other filehosts.also,there is a trick where you can use google drive,gmail and calender to get auto update of emails as sms,free!google this now.
7.bulk category and direct install:this is a wordpress plugin.it can be used to create a whole lot of category at once.a simple plugin makes the making of menus really easy.another plugin is direct install.if you have a direct download link for a theme or plugin,this tool can be used to directly install them without downloading to pc and uploding again.
8.simplescript and installatron:this two online script insaller may be used to install scripts on any webhost.they just require some info and installs them really quick.my personal pick is the later one,because it works even on very slow free hosts too.
