A bit by bit Bangladesh is going forward to the digital age. While internet,Why Freelancing in Bangladesh Is Necessary Articles outsourcing etc. are fairly new terms for most Bangladeshi people, freelancing in Bangladesh can be the big break it needs to move forward and build a powerful economy.

Internet is a trillion dollar business now, if we can get a tiny friction of that, it will be great for our economy. The unemployment problem is getting worse every year. Prices of all things are in the rise. Bangladesh is not getting much foreign investments and there are very few new jobs created every year. The situation is getting bad to worse.

Freelancing requires little investment. Anyone can start a freelancing career with a computer and internet connection. But, it is not that easy. Yes there are thousands of jobs available in those outsourcing sites, but it requires thorough training to learn how to do things on the web. To help people join freelancing sites and earn via freelancing it is necessary that some training centers are built to teach young people a thing or two about these jobs. High level of English language skill is necessary and good communication skill is a must. All these can be taught in short time and it can kick-start freelancing in Bangladesh.

There are some infrastructure problems that must be solved before freelancing can move forward in Bangladesh. The internet connection speed is very low and costs a lot. PayPal is not available which is the preferred payment option online. There are many other issues along with these two that should be resolved soon.

Freelancing in Bangladesh must be promoted as people know very little about it. Most do not realize how good a career option it can be only if they take it seriously. If only they put their efforts in freelance career online rather than the time and effort they spend to get a government job is sufficient enough to give them a foothold in outsourcing platforms.

Now, the outsourcing sites are well secured and the payment is most of the time secured and paid in time. There are various types of jobs available, people think everything is related to coding and programming, which is not true at all. Article writing, graphic design, customer service, accounting and many other jobs are up for grab. Although less paying but data entry is a kind of job that can be performed by anyone who knows how to use a computer.

All in all, this is a great way to decrease the unemployment problem and improve the economy. That is why we need freelancing in Bangladesh.
