What is the most popular freelancing role?

Most likely, you think you don't have the skills to be a freelancer. But don't worry, there are many ways to become a freelancer. While some freelancers use their previous work skills, others follow their hobbies or start freelancing by trying something completely new. With this background in mind, let's take a look at the benefits of being a freelancer.


1. No travel for work

Most freelance jobs allow you to work from home. This is a big plus point. For commuters to the office every day, a 9-5 can convert to a 7-7. These extra four hours can be frustrating and discouraging if you drive. If you use public transportation, you can probably relax with work (more) or a book or some music. Either way, it makes for a long time. A freelancer has the freedom to use the additional four hours they wish. Perhaps this is an opportunity to pursue a new hobby.

2. Work by wearing any dress

Or your birthday suit. Or whatever you fancy. The bonus of having the freedom to wear something you feel comfortable with. No more formal suits, shirts, and ties. As a freelancer, you are in control of your earnings. Most of the time this will be related to the number of projects you decide to take on and your agreed rates. If your rates are deemed too expensive, and clients try to barter you down, then you can politely tell them no. Other people value your work and will pay your rates.

3. Freedom of position

Depending on your freelance work you may have the opportunity to work from different locations near and far. If you want to travel to different parts of the world, the lifestyle of laptops is very appealing. Travel blogger and author Ryan Bidloff has created a freelancing career by blogging from heaven. Other freelancers prefer to spend most of their time at the local coffee shop because it takes them away from common disruptions, including the Internet. Two-thirds of freelancers agree that freelancing offers the opportunity to work from anywhere, and more than one-third of flexibility has been able to transfer thanks to freelancing supplies.

4. No need to deal with coworkers

Let’s face it, getting in touch with a few of your coworkers isn’t the easiest. And keeping it light. As a freelancer, you can choose who you work with. And if they start messing around with you, you can (politely) throw them away. You can also hang out with other freelancers of your choice when you start building your own network.

5. Don’t have to make ridiculous corporate decisions

A freelancer takes on multiple roles by starting their own business. You are running the whole show CEO, CFO, and COO. This can be difficult for some people. On the plus side, you don't have to read ridiculous corporate emails that are full of insecurities. You make your own decisions and you survive by them.

6. Work-Life balance

When you work in a corporate job and the HR department works / refers to the balance of life you can be sure that the scales will have a pound of meat in them before the balance is maintained.

7. Take a break whenever you want

Need to pop out for some groceries. Or pick from school. Or use the gym quietly. No problem. As a freelancer, you can take a break whenever you want. There are no set rules.

8. There is no fixed time

If you want to work 60 hours a week and take a vacation the next week, you can. This is great if you want to work 10 hours on Mondays but only 2 hours on Tuesdays.

9. Choose projects to work with

Choosing which projects you want to work on is a big plus. If you enjoy working on your projects, you are going to be more motivated. Working on them is not a pleasure. You can pivot at any time. As a freelancer you are independent. If a particular idea doesn't work as expected, it lets you change direction.
