Hard Things to Know Before Freelancing

Postby skysnap » 24 Jun 2018, 08:34

Freelancing is a hard pill to swallow. And not a lot of people can understand that fact. Lot of people are going to have harder time realizing the truth. So you may have to keep up with some of the realities of the freelance market. I'd definitely recommend you to check out some of the reality about freelancing before spending time. Take a look at below things that you should know.

Freelancing is NOT Easy, Job is more Easier

It's not easy money. Posting on PTC and PTP forums is not freelancing. It's hobby. Freelancing is where you work on fiverr and upwork and work on new projects everyday. So it's never going to be easy money. Instead it is going to take some time. And also you have to struggle on the new client side. So understand that freelancing is a hard work not some easy money. And not some routine job that you can do.

Freelancing is Constant Learning and Work

You have to constantly search for work. That is never going to change. Only job gets you fixed work and fixed salary. Freelancing is constantly moving work. And some of the times it would be not that bad for the work. So keep learning new skills and get ready to launch your career in new job. That way you are going to do lot better with some level of preparation. It may take time but this is definitely doable in long term. I'd say you should focus on keeping up with trend.

Freelancing Affects Personal life

Lack of money, adjusting with your personal needs. All of that is going to take some toll in your life. And you are going to struggle with or without family. As you can see a lot of people have learned that personal life is not going to be any easy. And lot of them have lack of personal life. And they continue to struggle in that context. I have learned that some of the time it may not be that easy.

Freelancing Requires being Extrovert

You can't succeed in life being introvert. That is going to restrict your growth. You have to come out of your comfort zone. And you have to be better at being extrovert reaching out to new people. So that is only possible if you become extrovert. But you can see that there are times when things can be changed and learn how to work around things in that context. But it takes time and it is not going to be easy process for introverts.

These are some of the things that you should know about the freelancing. And do understand that it is not one of those easy things that you see in the market. It is lot harder than most of the things out there.

You are so right. Those are hard things to accept about freelancing. It is not a 9 to 5 job.
