    What is Freelancing?

    ▶ A freelancer is a self-employed person who


    offers services to clients, and often to
    multiple clients at a time. Freelancing can
    be a fast and affordable way to get started
    working as your own boss, often from the
    comfort of home.

    ▶ They usually take up short-term tasks. They


    enjoy the freedom of working from home
    at flexible times.

    3
    Key Advantages of Freelancing?
    ▶ As a freelancer, you have the ability to set your own schedule and
    work from anywhere in the world. This level of freedom allows you to
    design a work-life balance that suits your personal needs and
    priorities.

    ▶ Another significant advantage of freelancing is the potential for higher


    earning potential. Unlike traditional employment where you receive a
    fixed salary. As your skills and reputation grow, you can command
    higher fees for your services, potentially increasing your income
    significantly. Additionally, freelancers have the opportunity to work
    with multiple clients simultaneously, modify their income streams and
    reducing the risk associated with relying on a single employer.

    4
    Responsibilities of Freelancer

    ▶ Freelancing also comes with its own


    set of challenges. As an independent
    contractor, you are responsible for
    finding clients, managing projects,
    and handling administrative tasks
    such as invoicing and taxes. This
    requires a certain level of self-
    discipline, organization, and
    business acumen.

    industries, and areas with growth potential.

    work that showcases your unique strengths and capabilities.

    ▶ If you're just starting and don't have many
    past projects to showcase, don't worry.

    collaborate with others to build a
    portfolio. For example, if you're a graphic
    designer, you can design mock-ups or
    create visuals that illustrate your skills. If
    you're a writer, you can create fictional
    pieces or write articles on topics that
    interest you. The key is to demonstrate
    your skills and potential to clients, even if
