A calm, practical guide to working online

The Online Works is an independent website for people who work, or want to work, on the internet. We write clear, practical articles about freelancing, finding online work, choosing digital tools, staying productive, building useful skills and working from home.

Every article tries to answer a real question you might have while doing the work, such as how to price a project, how to plan your week or how to tell a genuine opportunity from a bad one. We keep things honest and simple, with no hype and no promises of quick money.

Whether you’re just starting or already working online, you’ll find something useful here.

You already take on clients and want better ways to price, plan, communicate and grow your work.

Remote and home workers

You work from home and want a routine, tools and habits that make each day calmer and more focused.

Honest trade-offs

We explain the limits and downsides of a method or tool, not only the benefits.
