The rush to leave the 9-5 grind in favor of the freelance life continues to grow. Freelancing is an excellent way to make a living, but if you don’t have a way to stand out, you’ll struggle to make a living.
One of the best ways to stand out in a crowded freelance market is to find your niche and become awesome at it.
Getting started on the road to freelance success is not easy.
So many people are leaving the 9-5 life in favor of being their own boss.
And while this can be freeing, the rush to join the gig economy makes your ability to land that next freelance job quite challenging.
When employers need to expand their workforce, they often don’t have the budget, or the need, to bring on any full-time, permanent staff members.
Employers in this situation will look to resources like hiring freelancers – the creative and experienced freelancers – to ramp up their resources and keep things rolling along.
Given everything that’s happened over the last year and a half, many people have had to adapt and shift to a world where your home becomes your office.
In fact, working from home is becoming the norm.
As the world continues to shift more and more to a digital, online workforce, many workers are opting out of full-time work and instead making the transition to freelance opportunities.
When it comes to freelancing, there are many benefits.
Typically, freelancing allows you to set your own schedule and be your own boss.
The flexibility and the ability to make your own business decisions are a huge draw for many freelancers.
