I am a freelance writer for over a year now. Based on my experience, being a freelancer can give you a different type of excitement. I'm going to give you some insights on why you should consider freelancing than having a regular job. Firstly, the fact that you can handle your time is the biggest plus on being a freelancer. This is the main reason why many people gave up their 9-5 jobs and take the risk to become a full-time freelancer. That means having a freedom in everything. Such as the freedom to choose the amount and the type of work you want. You can also have the freedom to work anywhere. Whether it is from your favorite cafeteria or in your own home as long as you have your computer and an internet connection. That is the second reason. The third is, you can wear anything you want if you are a freelancer. You can wear a simple shirt and a pajama while working. Unlike if you have a regular job where you are required to wear formal attires. The fourth reason is, educational background is not important. You can be anything as long as you have the skills to do the task that has been given to you. You are free to choose your niche. If you have a passion in designing then become a designer. Just make sure you can deliver the quality that your client needs. The fifth reason is the pay rate. The pay rate is justifiable. Just make sure you are working for a client that knows your value as their freelancer. There are many sites in the net that offers low payment. Just know where to look and avoid bidding sites. If you are still in deep thoughts about this, you can still work on your regular job and become a part-time freelancer to try it out. That's the thing about freelancing, it provides flexibility.
The difference between freelance and regular job are the following:
- Freelance is specialized in particular skills and making the use of these skills in order to earn money, where the regular job is more like repeating the same process every day.
- Freelance has more control over the money, where the regular job does not.
-Freelance has clients to work for them, where in the regular job you are just working for your Boss.
-Freelance has more authorities where in the regular job the authorities belong to the owner or the Bosses of the Job.
-Freelance can work from home where in theregular job you need to work at specific places.
In the end, working as a freelance can make you more independent, unlike the regular job. Freelance leads to more productivity and confidence. It makes the person be more active in his life and more wiser in thinking. It represented and improve the character of the person to be more socialized.
