How to earn fabulously by freelancing should be the focus of professional and career men and women today owing to the fact that the job market is completely full beyond any stretch of imagination. Furthermore the current ubiquitous global economic melt down is not helping the survival process at all and the take home pay is nothing to write home about when it comes to the issues of making ends meet by an average family.
Are you a fresh school leaver? a professional in search of paid employment with a fat scale salary or you have been on regular paid employment for long and you have nothing tangible to show for it in terms of material or financial possession or want a sort of freedom for yourself for the purpose of making a better life then you should consider the option of going freelance because nothing is more assuring than being self-reliant. Apart from the fact that you stand the chance of earning up to five times of your present income, you will have plenty of time to take care of other social responsibilities.
A case in point is that of a university lecturer, a friend of mine, that has put in more than 20 years in the service but still live from hand to mouth, he just decided one day after meeting disappointments upon disappointments from some his associates that stopped lending him money to take care of his needs before the end of the month to plunge into the vast uncertain field of self-employment. All he did was just to start writing articles for different newspapers as a freelance and since he is quite good in writing, one of the media houses he worked for just decided to send him on assignment to several African and European countries. This, no doubt, afforded him the opportunity of mingling with like minded people from whom he made good contacts and after sometime, he utilized that opportunity to set up himself on freelance business and today, he rakes in almost ten times of his pay packet when he was on regular employment.
There is no gainsaying the fact that freelancing reduces the rate of unemployment which is the bane of the people particularly the youth today. According to Andrea Poe in his book: “How to freelance your expertise”: there is an array of careers into which freelancing can thrive very well and these include: book and journal publishing, editing, proofreading, indexing, computer web design, consulting, tour guiding and translating.
Freelancing service can be a gold mine for film animators, financial planners, data entry processors, furniture makers, events planners, private investigators, photographers, grant writers and political speech writers. The beauty of it all is that, as a freelance you have the liberty of charging your clients per day or per hour or per project and your payments can either be upfront or on completion of the service. As a full time freelancer, you will work when you want and rest when your nature can no longer allow further stress. Obviously there is no boss to nag at you or breathe on your neck to do, in most cases, what you are not expected to do.
How to earn fabulously by Freelancing should no longer be a bother to you once you are ready to take the plunge for there is more for you to gain there than to lose. Just give it a try and surely that will be for you the beginning of a life more abundant.
