Many people nowadays are jumping to freelancing as their main source of income. From merely doing simple tasks or providing services for a client to making freelancing a full-time business. It's a growing work trend since outsourcing skills are on the rise these days. Below are some reasons why more people are shifting to freelancing
Five Reasons Why People are Switching to Freelancing
1. TIME FREEDOM. Having control of choosing the time to work is the best thing that freelancing could offer. Imagine, getting a part-time and/ or a full-time job from different clients and perform services without tracking working hours is possible in freelancing.
Freelancers can spend more time with their loved ones, especially the parents could give more time looking after their kids while worrying less because they can stay home with their family.
2. PASSION.
People can work while doing what they love or actually provide the services that are close to their heart for their clients. Confucious once said: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
Travelling is one of the things people are being passionate about. And because of freelancing, more and more people are able to travel because their job is not requiring them to work at least 8 hours a day, 5- 7 days a week. So freelancers have more time to travel and work whenever they are as long as there's a tool that can be used for providing the services they offered to their clients.
3. MORE OPPORTUNITIES.
Job postings are always available from around the world and the niches of freelancing are vast that all the skills from simple to complex can be offered as services to a client. No need to go and apply to different companies because jobs are available on various freelancing sites. Many choices are posted every day in Upwork and to other websites alike.
Freelancing is helping a lot of families especially these days where more and more companies are shutting down after declaring bankruptcy. Unemployment rates are soaring high and applying for a job is very difficult and it brings so much hassle because people need to go out and be presentable when applying for a job while worrying about the threats of this pandemic.
4. MORE INCOME.
Freelancers can earn as much as those who are working full-time and most of the time, even higher that's why many are embracing the freelancing life. The possibility to get multiple clients makes freelancing a lucrative career. Many freelancers, especially mothers can earn from home while being able to look after their kids making it one of the great benefits of freelancing.
5. LESS HASSLE.
Heavy traffic on a daily basis when driving or commuting to work is avoided because people can work at the comfort of their homes. Wasted time in traveling for work can be used to do other productive tasks and less worrying about the present situation we're having at this time of the pandemic.
There are still many other reasons why many people are changing their career to freelancing. Having time freedom and being able to do what they love, more opportunities to explore and discover, more income, and less hassle on a daily basis are the five main reasons for embracing the freelancing world.
