bdclothing Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Freelancing has been precarious at times. I started freelancing full-time after leaving a company deciding it would be better to pursue my passions. I made decent income however, it requires double the energy and was not always so rewarding, but then working for other people is not always rewarding either. Currently, I go to college for a Masters Degree, work a full-time job and still freelance because I can always use the extra money and like having something that is not being bossed around by other people.I find that even if freelancing, it is necessary to treat the experience like a business. You have to be a business owner. I was able to gain many different types of clients through Fiverr and it has been a great experience that I have recommended to other people, but you always have to be looking for more. I think being a full time freelancer comes with a bit of uncertainty just as the job market but to sustain you must keep selling and marketing your business to keep a steady flow while providing excellent customer service.You also want to be sure that even if you are freelancing, that you are charging correctly because many people out there, especially small business owners are looking for as much as possible for as little as possible and that can be challenging when trying to be competitive but you have to price things in such a way that you earn a good living that would be comparable or better than working a full-time job.Though there are “perks” with freelancing such as setting your own schedule or working from wherever you desire, there are no company-matched benefits, no PTO, no 401K, and no paid vacations so you would have to compensate those things on your own.
