Is Freelancing For You ?

By: Noel Clarke

Ever thought how you would like to break the 9 to 5 routine, and possibly earn a better pay packet ?
If you have, then perhaps you should consider taking on Freelance work.

Freelance what yo ask ?

Well, freelancing or freelance work is NOT part time or full time work. It is when you are hired to do one specific job or project. There are many types of freelance work available, such as writing , administration, data entry, transcribing notes and typing to name a few.

The beauty of freelance work is that you get to choose the type of work you would like to do, and seeing as most freelance jobs last between a few weeks to a few months, you will never get to the stage of being bored doing the same old thing month after month.

Mothers with young or school going children have found freelance work to be ideal, as they can structure their work around school, nap, play times etc.

Many people have also found that freelance work is an ideal method for creating extra income for those nice little extra's such as holidays, new cars etc. In fact many professionals have found that in a short space of time that they were able to earn more money doing freelance work a couple of days a week than when they were working full time.

On the subject of professionals, when it comes to marketing yourself, BE professional. Have an easy to read (no fluff) resume detailing your career experiences to date. (tip don't pad it out to try and impress) Have a portfolio of your work. This is an invaluable asset, and must bekept up to date, and is used to show case your work to prospective clients. Have your own website promoting yourself. The majority of freelancers do not have their own website, and are possibly losing out in the process. Make th effort to promote yourself and your website, by submitting your resume to online job sites.

Now take a minute to think how nice it would be to be able earn what your boss used to charge other people for your work ! So if you are ready for change and like the idea of flexible work hours coupled with excellent pay, and being able to choose the type of work you will be doing, then maybe its time to give freelancing a go. But where do you start ?

This is easy, first step is going to a freelance work site like GoFreelance and register for work, some charge a small registration fee, but the benefits far outway the cost. Happy Freelancing !
