3 reasons to become a freelancer

To do or not to do

Whether it's starting your own business or letting a freelancer undertake a variety of projects, being self-employed has many advantages. 

We're going to discuss 3 reasons why you should be a freelancer.

Be your own boss

The most common reason as a freelancer is that you have the opportunity to be your own boss. No one to control you and you don't have to ask for approval from everyone. It's up to you to make sure you keep your customers happy and looking for new ones. However, it's all under your authority how you do things.

 

Freedom

As a freelancer you are free to make your own choices. 

For example by:

  • Choosing where you want to work from, which means you can discover new places
  • Determine your own hours, as long as the job is done
  • Deciding what customers you want to work with

 

You get rewarded for additional efforts

Workers in many companies earn the same wage every month. 

By working as a freelancer, you can adjust your own rate. You set your rate based on the value, not on experience. If your customers think you're worth the rate, they'll keep you. You will be rewarded based on the work you have done and the results you have created. The more your work, the more you are paid for your efforts. Every bit counts and is good for you and only you.
