What Is a Freelancer?
A freelancer is someone who offers their services for a fee and usually with no expectation of a permanent single client, although the working relationship can be ongoing. It's a form of selfemployment, similar to operating a home business versus telecommuting. With that said, a freelancer can work as a contractor, as opposed to a home business.
There are several reasons to start freelancing: -Done on the side around your job, -it's a way to generate extra income to pay off debt or save for a rainy day. -It's affordable to start if you already have the skills and equipment to do the job. -You can start quickly. As soon as you find a client, you can start getting paid to freelance. -It allows for greater independence over a job. -It's often flexible, allowing you to work part-time or during off business hours. There can be a few downsides, including: -It can take time to build a full-time income. -Work, hours and therefore, income, can be irregular. -Managing multiple clients and projects requires excellent organization. -Pay for new freelancers can start out with low earnings.
