Have you noticed how the gig economy is booming lately?
It’s like everyone and their neighbor is jumping into the freelancing pool, and for good reason!
The freedom to choose your projects, set your own schedule, and work from anywhere (yes, even in your pajamas) is pretty appealing, isn’t it?
Let’s talk about something super important in our world as freelancers: getting paid.
Because, let’s face it – we all love doing what we do, but we’ve got bills to pay and maybe a little fun to fund, right?
So, whether you’re juggling a bunch of freelance gigs each month or running a full-time writing hustle, one thing’s for sure: you need to get paid.
Are you drawn to numbers and have a knack for managing finances?
If you’re nodding your head, then freelance bookkeeping might just be the perfect gig for you!
I mean you can market yourself as a virtual bookeeper, small business bookkeeper or even be a bookeeping assistant as a freelancer.
As a freelancer, I’m sure you’ve heard of ChatGPT and other AI tools and how they can help people speed up their content creation process.
Some business owners even use it to write blog posts without any human intervention. So bold!

So, what freelance ideas are there right now?
As someone who has been freelancing online for many years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the shift towards a more flexible lifestyle for many creators.
Ever since COVID-19 consumed the world, the idea of remote work and staying home to work not only became the normal but the thing people were craving.
Want to know what freelancing apps are available to help with your business?
Lately, I’ve been diving deep into the world of freelancing apps, and let me tell you, I’m having fun using these apps!
But this year in particular, these apps aren’t just a nice-to-have; they’re a must-have.
If you’re a freelancer, you know how important it is to have a comfortable and functional workspace. I’ve been freelancing for close to a decade and over those years, I’ve had serious bouts of hand pain and neck pain.
So, having a workspace with all the necessities like your desk, chair and laptop, is important if you type for a living.
