Fast to get started

It is very simple to get started with


freelancing. All you need is to have skill and
simply sign up on freelancing website. Once
you have a client you are good to go.
Affordable

Usually Starting Business Takes a lot of


investment but in Freelancing you only need a
laptop and Internet.
Flexible Hours

You can work whenever you want. You get to choose


your own hours. If you want to sleep in until noon, you
can do that. If you want to take the weekend off so you
can explore the city, by all means, go for it.
Control over Jobs and Clients

when you’re a freelancer, you can choose with whom


you work. If you don’t mesh well with a client’s
personality or business or payment philosophies, you can
pass on the opportunity and wish them the best.
Work Wherever You
Want

 Whether you prefer consistency or shaking


things up when it comes to your work
environment, you can choose to work
wherever you want, whether you 
choose to work in a local coffee shop or while
you’re on vacation in Europe.  You are no
longer stuck in an office or even in your
home. Find a place in which you work best.
You could work in a park, at the library, or in
your living room while you’re wearing your
pajamas.
You Keep All the Profits

No longer do you have to work for a flat rate, no matter


how large the projects are that you complete. Now, you
get to allocate or keep all the profits from your large and
small projects and clients. This gives you the freedom to
then use that money to improve yourself and expand
your business.
You no longer have to answer to anyone but your
clients and yourself. No one is hanging over you or
micromanaging you. You are free to do as you
please, when you please. Making all the tough
decisions just became your responsibility; you have
all the control.
The need for freelancers is large

While the marketplace of freelancers is competitive, the need


for quality, reliable freelancers is growing. Many businesses
don't have employees and instead have a team of freelancers. 
Do the work the way you see fit

While you need to deliver


what the client asks, how
the work is done is up to
you.
