FREELANCE FREEDOM

     There is another way to make money from home.  You can Freelance.  Many folks out there have the skills that are needed by a variety of individuals and businesses.  

What is a Freelancer?

      A freelancer is an independent contractor that fills a specific need for a business or individual.  Freelance workers are not connected to an employer for the "long term" just for the project duration.  Many freelance workers work for multiple employers at the same time.  There are a growing number fields that people can freelance in.  Fields like: journalism, copy-writing, photography, translating, social media,  and web design just to name a few.  

Who can Freelance?

     Anyone can freelance.  All you need is to offer a service that someone else needs.  Some types of freelance work can be done entirely from you own home.  

How do I get started?

     There is no ONE way folks get stated freelancing.  The main thing is finding a way to let others know you have a service available.  Ads on Craigslist or Google Adwords may work.  Blogging about your work may also help.  Sharing on Social Media will help as well.  Another way to get started is a site called fiverr.    This site allows you to to get started with small gigs starting at $5 each.  I recently looked into fiverr and at first glance it looks very promising.  I am looking now at finding some successes or failures to tell you about in another post.
