CHAPTER 1:
Top Five Reasons Why Freelancing is One of the Best Industries
Creating your schedule gives you a sense of control that
you wouldn’t have when taking on a traditional 9-5 job
position. If you’d like to have a greater sense of control over
your schedule and work the hours that are most convenient
for you, freelancing makes it possible.

CHAPTER 1:
Top Five Reasons Why Freelancing is One of the Best Industries
When you have a freelancing business, you have much
more control over your workload. While you want to accept
work to gain more experience and earn a livable income,
you know how much work you can handle and can politely
decline if you feel overwhelmed with the different tasks
you’re completing.

CHAPTER 1:
Top Five Reasons Why Freelancing is One of the Best Industries
Some people will try to tell you that freelancing isn’t profitable
or that it’s risky because there is no guaranteed income like
you’d have when working a traditional job.
Sure, there are some risks to take when you get involved in
freelancing, but it’s worth it in the end when you’re earning more
than you ever did at any other job you’ve had in the past.

Even if you’re not driving and you’re relying on public
transportation to get you to and from work, you still have to
spend money to use public transit in the first place.
Can you imagine how much money you can save when you no
longer need to drive to work, pay for parking, or even use buses
and trains to get to your destination?

Then, you can complete tasks that come naturally to you
because of your talents, skills, and experience level.
While you do what you love and thoroughly enjoy, you can
travel the country and even the world. If you love to travel
and often feel held back by the workforce because you
have to show up Monday through Friday and work long
hours, know that running a freelancing business can change
that for you.
When you do what you love and get to travel and visit
different places at your leisure and convenience, you can
experience a sense of relief and pure joy rather than
constant stress and worry.
Once you get into the freelancing industry, you’ll see the
difference it makes in your life, and you’ll quickly start to
wonder why you didn’t get started in this industry long ago.

What Freelancing
Is and Isn’t
Before you get involved in freelancing, you need to understand
what it is and what it’s not. There are a lot of misconceptions
out there. People who don’t have freelancing experience may
think it’s one thing when it’s the exact opposite. You can’t let the
misconceptions keep you from pursuing a career in
freelancing that could change your life for the better. When
you better understand what it is and what it entails, you can
decide if it’s right for you.
What It Is
Freelancing provides the flexibility to do what you enjoy while
working from home or anywhere else, such as your local
coffee shop.

What It’s Not
While freelancing is an excellent alternative to the traditional
workforce, it isn’t an easy way out. Unfortunately, some people
believe that freelancers are taking the easy route, and that’s not
the case. While you get to enjoy more benefits as a freelancer,
such as flexibility, higher income potential, and no more
commute, you still need to do the work involved to make a living.
The good news is that each step you take gets you closer to
reaching your career goals while running a successful freelance
business.

It’s yet another great niche to consider when you want to get
involved in the freelancing industry while doing something that
excites you.
After you’ve selected your niche, it’s time to create a list of the
services you’d like to provide. You can add to the list after
gaining more experience and increasing your confidence level in
your niche. However, when you’re first building your freelancing
business, it’s good to have a list of the specific services you
provide.

For example, if you’re off on the weekends, you can use
that extra time to start gathering more information on your
niche, finding sites that allow you to search for jobs, and
even completing small projects that won’t take up too
much of your time. You can continue to grow this way and
eventually become less dependent on your traditional job.

Upwork. While Fiverr is a great option, it’s not the only one
available. Upwork takes on a slightly different approach.
Instead of listing your services and waiting for people to notice
you on the site, you can apply to different freelance positions
based on your skills and niche.
While it’s different from Fiverr and Upwork, it has its advantages
and is an excellent choice for many people wanting to start a
freelancing business.

It Provides a Safer Alternative to Working an In-Office Job with
Multiple Employees
With hopes that COVID-19 will die down, it's continued to spread
since 2019. As a result, some employers feel it's safer to hire
freelancers to work remotely instead of hiring more employees
and filling the workplace with numerous people who could
potentially contract the virus. If one person has the virus, they
could quickly spread it to other people around them in the
office. Now that employers have realized people can still be
productive while working from home, they're catching on and
choosing to work with freelancers who can provide excellent
services and meet deadlines without costing them a fortune. It
makes it a win-win situation for the companies and the
freelancers dedicating their time and energy to making a name
for themselves in the industry.
