Going Freelance

Freelancer. It's the only way

Going Freelance

Freelancing can be a scary thing. Especially when you're used to the usual 9-5 job and knowing that every two weeks, that a paycheck will be there ready to be devoured by the hungry mouths of bills. And after it's all said and done, you've got a few bucks left to go buy a burger at McDonalds.

Freelancing can be a scary thing. Especially when you're used to the usual 9-5 job and knowing that every two weeks (or monthly), that a paycheck will be there ready to be devoured by the hungry mouths of bills. And after it's all said and done, you've got a few bucks left to go buy a burger at McDonalds. If you're lucky, you might be able to afford to super-size it, even though you really wanted to buy the chicken nuggets as well.

So what's the solution to having the super-size plus the nuggets? Simple. "Freelance". If you've got a trade, a profession or you're really d** good at what you do, why not freelance? "Sell" yourself to businesses and people who are looking for your services, be them corporate or private. I mean, after all you sold yourself to your boss to get your job didn't you? And chances are, you probably sold yourself in various other ways to various other people and businesses. So what's the difference?

Here's the difference. Freelancing will get you that extra change in your pocket. Freelancing can be the perfect extra income you were looking for and even better, it can ultimately be the only "job" you ever need. I can't guarantee that will have an income every two weeks or even a month but even then, you may end up making more from a single client than 2 or 3 paychecks combined. Imagine turning in your resignation, quitting your job to freelance full time. That means working the hours YOU want to work and dressed however you please. Heck, more times than not, I'm making money freelancing simply sitting in front of my laptop, on the couch, in my boxers and chugging a beer. And guess what? I'm making more in that hour than a whole work day from the job I had quit.

Now, don't get me wrong. Freelancing is not always a walk-in-the-park and you may not make money hand-over-fist. But three things are for sure. 1. You gain freedom to work as you please. 2. You own your own business. 3. You can give yourself a raise anytime you wish. However, with initial hard work, dedication and getting your name out there, you will soon realize that freelancing has far more percs than you imagined. I love freelancing and been doing it for over 8 years.

If you're still unsure and confused as to where to start, don't worry. There are plenty of help and services online. There are dozens of websites, tutorials, articles and e-zines to help you in determining if freelancing is indeed for you. Then once you decide that freelancing is for you, there's even more resources out there to help "sell", "promote" and "market" your business and services.
