Freelancer Duties & Salary in Malaysia

In Malaysia, a freelancer, known as a "pekerja bebas" or "freelancer," is a self-employed professional who offers their services to clients on a project basis. An interesting fact about freelancing in Malaysia is the country's diverse cultural heritage and its booming digital economy. Opportunities for freelancers can be found in cities like Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru, particularly in fields such as IT, digital marketing, design, and e-commerce.

The main duties of freelancers in Malaysia involve client acquisition, project management, and delivering high-quality work. They are responsible for prospecting and acquiring clients, preparing project proposals, negotiating contracts, and ensuring the successful completion of projects. Freelancers also handle administrative tasks such as invoicing, tax compliance, and maintaining client relationships.

Key skills required for freelancers in Malaysia include strong communication and networking abilities, self-motivation, adaptability, and technical expertise in the chosen field. Proficiency in languages such as Malay, English, and Mandarin can be advantageous for engaging with local and international clients. Relevant experience, supported by a strong portfolio and industry certifications if applicable, contribute to higher rates and increased opportunities.

The expected salary range for freelancers in Malaysia can vary depending on the industry and expertise. For instance, a freelance web developer in Kuala Lumpur may charge between MYR 50 to MYR 100 per hour, while a freelance digital marketer in Penang could earn around MYR 40 to MYR 80 per hour. Rates may be influenced by factors such as the freelancer's reputation, demand for specialized services, and the complexity of the projects undertaken.

Workers are selected based on services, availability, reputation & price. The money is withheld independently through our leading global Payment provider Stripe escrow account. Payment is only released upon satisfactory completion. Feedback is given by both parties to build marketplace reputation. A job is an advertisement listing the general requirements and services expected of a worker. Job advertisements are for permanent or contract based work (hourly rate).On the gig exchange, the job advertisements are FREE and listed under the Jobs section.
Why do I need to upload my passport or driving license? arrow-right
