Nowadays freelancing has become a prime source of income for many people across the globe, in Bangladesh too.
There are so many people who are doing remarkably well in this freelancing field.
Asgar said one day he was browsing the internet he came to know about several freelancing websites where he found various types of job that he was interested in.
“That inspired me to become a freelancer,” said Asgar.
He instantly registered at freelancer.com. However, he got his first job through the site after a year. During this one year he just placed bids for job. “I never lost confidence and hope,” said Asgar.
His first job was to have at least 500 facebook fans for a US company. And it was a USD $30 project. He won the project competing with 17 bids from several countries.
With 2219 feedbacks and 100% reputation, he is now leading Bangladesh at freelancer.com. He is one of the top 3 successful users of site.
Most of Asgar's freelance jobs are social networking and internet marketing.
Asgar said although he works for companies across the globe his maximum clients are from US.

On payment methods he said there are several options for withdrawing money which include Payoneer Debit Card, Moneybookers or wire transfer.
“We (freelancers) are waiting for another important payment method-Paypal. I hope our government will take initiative in this regard soon.”
Asgar said there are few institutions in Bangladesh like BASIS, Creative IT and DevsTeam to help the freelancers.
“Unemployment is a huge problem in our country. If unemployed people start working as freelancers, they will be contributing to not only themselves but also to the country. And I believe all of us have skills to become a successful freelancer.”

to clients, punctuality. One should also
work hard, maintain quality of work and according to him the most important thing is to go by the rules and regulations of the marketplace.2013, By: Seo Master

The new service touted Post e-Pay would provide a range of financial services, including money transfer, bill payments, cash deposits and withdrawals. The users would be able to check their transaction information and balance too.
Post and telecom Minister Sahara Khatun inaugurated the commercial test service yesterday at the GPO in the capital. Initially, the service has been made available in three post offices in Dhaka -- GPO, Sadarghat and Banani.
The post office is implementing the service jointly with the technical support of fixed phone operator Bangla Phone and Commlink Infotech Ltd, a sister concern of Bangla Phone.
Managing Director Amjad H Khan of Bangla Phone said the customers would have to register with their particulars at post offices, where Post e-Pay has been launched.
A photo ID such as national ID or copy of the passport would be required, while finger print and photo would be kept by the post office agents, he said.
Customers would have to have an internet enabled mobile phone to get the service. The post office was also trying to get support from mobile operators so that customers could use very basic mobile phones as well, Amjad said.
However, the customers would have to go to the post offices to deposit or withdraw cash.
The post office would charge Tk 3 for every transaction while it would take Tk 5 for cash withdrawals.
Amjad said the service would be launched in seven divisional headquarters very soon and Bangla Phone would bear all expenses during that period.
In phases, around 10,000 post offices would have the service and another 100,000 agents would be employed.
Bangla Phone is providing financial support to the post office.
Amjad said, "The service is essentially a payment gateway where mobile phones will be used as wallets."
He said from now on post offices would provide services such as direct deposit of payroll, all types of financial transactions, balance transfer, salary transfer, insurance premium payment, all kinds of utility bill payments and any other payments.
The utility service providers would have to sign an agreement with the post office to get the service, he said.
The agents of the post office would be given “Bangla Pad”, a hand-held tablet computer to provide people with services.
The local IT experts have developed the entire solution of Post e-Pay, said Amjad.
The ambitious project would cost around Tk 300 crore, he said.
Director General Nayeb Delwar Hussain of Bangladesh Post Office said all upazila post offices would have the Post e-Pay service after its successful operation in seven divisional headquarters.
The post office would split the profits with Bangla Phone in the first three years by 42:58 percent. The ratio would be 56:44 in the post office's favour after the first three years.
He said early next year, the post office would start a new service for the expatriates by signing an agreement with the Malaysian government.
The employees of the post office would be trained so that they could provide people the services smartly. Only technology-friendly services could help the postal department survive, claimed Abubakar Siddique, the telecom secretary.
Minister Sahara Khatun yesterday said the post office would have to compete with private banks which have very interesting offers to get its customers.
If the officials of the postal department work hard they would be able to provide the services, she said.
The service was supposed to be launched last year but it did not happen due to red tapism.
Two private banks -- Brac Bank and Dutch-Bangla Bank Ltd -- are providing financial services via mobile phones in the country with the help of carriers. They have 18 lakh registered customers, according to central bank officials2013, By: Seo Master

With the early morning mist still hovering, traders head for the markets with cauliflowers they bought from farmers. The photo was shot from Manda on the edge of the capital recently.
Farmers in many parts of the country are producing vegetables without using chemical pesticides but their toxicity-free produce is getting mixed with toxic vegetables in the absence of proper marketing facilities.
Traders buy both toxicity-free and toxic vegetables, load those in trucks without differentiating between the two types and take those to markets, say field reports received from some major vegetable-growing districts.
A large number of farmers are growing toxicity-free vegetables and fruits by applying Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods like pheromone trap instead of chemical pesticides but they are facing an acute problem of marketing their produce separately.
Pheromone trap is a device that uses pheromones to lure insects to get trapped in it so that farmers can save their crop from pest attacks.
A number of farmers said had there been separate markets for toxic free vegetables, consumers would have shown more interest in buying those. And this would encourage more and more farmers to go for producing toxic-free vegetables instead of toxic ones.
There should be specific corners in markets including those in Dhaka for sale of the safe vegetables, they said.
Asked, agriculture officials in the areas with increasing use of IPM methods echoed the farmers' views about marketing their produce separately, and said this would enable consumers to buy those without worrying about heath hazards.
Nazmul Islam, a farmer at Belabo in Narsingdi, who has been using pheromone trap and some other IPM methods for the last five years, told this correspondent, "I feel bad when I see my produce is mixed with toxic ones. My efforts become meaningless."
Torikul Islam, a farmer in Jessore, said he opted for vegetable cultivation by using pheromone trap a decade ago when he came to know about the health hazards of using chemical pesticides. "I did it to ensure good health of my family members and those who purchase my produce," he said over the phone.
The number of farmers using IPM has increased over the years. But many are yet to go for it although it costs less than using pesticides. IPM practice however requires more time and care.
Cultivation of vegetables by using pesticides gives higher output and the produce looks better than those produced without using toxic substances. And this might encourage many to go for it, said Torikul.
Meanwhile, the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry in association with traders have opened four formalin-free fish markets in the capital in the face of growing worries about health hazards due the use of toxic substances in foods.
But ensuring availability of toxicity-free vegetables and fruits to consumers has so far got little attention.
Only a handful of private sector firms such as Fresh and Safe Agro Ltd (FASAL) and online shopping portal -- amardesheshop.com --by Future Solution Business (FSB) are buying and supplying toxicity-free vegetables to consumers in the capital.
Some superstores such as Agora and Meena Bazar have also taken initiative to collect and supply toxicity-free vegetables.
These initiatives, however, are far from enough to enable farmers to sell all their safe vegetables.
Nazmul and some other farmers said they supply a specified quantity of vegetables to FSB. They have to go to nearby markets to sell the rest of their produce.
Agriculture officials say the number of farmers using IPM is growing due to the agriculture ministry's decade-long efforts to motivate farmers to cut use of chemical pesticides hazardous to health. The initiative was taken as rampant use of chemical pesticides for commercial cultivation of vegetables and fruits led to growing worries among people about health risks.
They mentioned that preservatives and dyes are being used by traders to retain natural colour of vegetables such as tomato.
Asked about proper marketing of safe vegetables, Hemayet Hossain, deputy director of the Department of Agriculture Extension, Jessore, said, "We are trying to establish market linkage."
Mitul Kumar Saha, assistant general manager of Hortex Foundation, said their organisation has established 12 marketing and collection centres of toxicity-free vegetables and fruits.
Traders purchase those from these centres but the foundation is yet to devise any mechanism to reach those to consumers.
Sharmin Hossain, chairman of FASAL, said there are demands from customers for safe vegetables. Buy his company cannot meet that fully because it has only six outlets in the capital.2013, By: Seo Master
