What's freelancing? People are called freelancers when they work for freelancing jobs. As simple as that, the freelancer is a person who is self-employed and not necessarily committed to long-term agreements or contracts.   However, nowadays freelancers are represented by a company.Normally, freelancers do particular pieces of projects for different clients rather than working for all the time for a single client.   Freelancing is a business. Freelancers are getting paid by the client for their services. There are more than thousands of freelancing jobs online. Also, there are hundreds of websites that serve as freelancing platforms. Upwork.com, Freelancer.com, Fiverr.com, Legiit.com, Peopleperhour.com, seoclerks.com, Kwork.com, are the most famous platforms at this time. Millions of peoples are working as freelancers in these websites.   Now, most people think of freelancing as similar to a full-time job. But that is not true. There is a limit in the most full-time jobs when you earn from that. If you are a successful freelancer, the limit for your earning is the time you can work.   That is not the main difference. A full-time job is more stable than a freelancer job. When you're a freelancer, you have more freedom than a full-time job. Yes, you are the boss. But there are a few limits on that freedom when you work on the freelancer platforms.   As a freelancer, you are offering your services or products (most of the products are digital products) to your clients in exchange for money. As a freelancer, you have freedom:   To decide what time, you work. To decide the price of your services. To decide how you sell your services. Earn as much as you can work.   The main disadvantage of freelancing is there isn't a permanent income. You get paid when you work (if you don’t make a passive income).   According to millo.co, there are an estimated 1.2 billion freelancers around the world. It’s nearly 1/3 of the total global workforce. Skilled freelancers earn median $25/hour. More than 91% of freelancers work on freelance platforms instead of working on their own platforms. The main reason for that is these freelancing websites already have a huge customer base. Finding customers to sell freelance services can be an expensive and time-consuming task if you use wrong or incompatible methods. When we look at freelancing as a business, that's a totally different mindset from an employee mindset. Because when you think about it as a business, you have to always look for leads, always look for more new clients to serve. You're not just tied to one single client or one employer. The ideal freelancing business is a business where you can work on your terms. You can choose how many hours you work in a month or a week. 52% of freelancers report working lower than 40 hours a week. And you can choose which clients you want to work with.   As a freelancer, it’s worth work on freelancing websites when you cannot afford to maintain your own website or another platform.   We have a few recommendations for freelancing websites that we worked on and had a good experience with.
