INTRODUCTION

What exactly is freelance employment, and what are the most vital talents to have?

 Increased population growth has resulted in an increase in the unemployment rate, particularly among young people, prompting them to look for self-employment opportunities that are not constrained by arbitrary conditions, resulting in the growth of many concepts in the past period that express the concepts of self-employment, independence, and others.

 One of the concepts that circle around the subject of self-employment is freelance work, and in this post, we'll explain what it is, the most significant talents required, and the platforms to work on.

Did you know, my friend, that the volume of transactions in America's open labor market in 2019 was only one trillion dollars or one thousand billion dollars? (one followed by 12 zeros). Isn't it a startling figure?

Through self-employment and based on this guide, you can make up to $1150 per month, and more than that.

If you want to keep up with the digital world we live in, or if you're bored with your traditional employment, or if you want more freedom in your life, or if you want to make more money, or if you have a skill and want to make money off it... Hello and welcome to the world of freelance work. Which welcomes all visitors.


WHAT IS A FREELANCER

It is a type of work in which the independent worker does not commit to a long-term relationship with a single employer, as a traditional employee would, but rather works on a variety of projects with various parties, with the financial return calculated by the hour or as a fixed amount in exchange for completing a specific task.


THE MOST IMPORTANT AREAS OF SELF-EMPLOYMENT

This question's answer isn't as simple as it appears! The world of self-employment is inextricably linked to the world of information technology, and as we all know, the world of information technology is always evolving, and every day is new, which means that new specialties emerge in the world of freelancing on a daily basis.

If you're looking for a definitive and thorough response to this topic, let me tell you that self-employment encompasses anything that someone can perform and is prepared to pay for.

Yet some fields are so popular these days:

  • Photography: in all of its manifestations, whether still or moving images.
  • Editing: Everything related to designing and editing videos.
  • Translation: to and from all languages.
  • Programming: The field related to the development of websites, smartphone applications, computer programs, etc.
  • Marketing: in all its forms and specializations, especially digital marketing.
  • Voiceover: A field related to the world of videos.
  • Graphic design: everything related to mixing colors with fonts to come up with a visual design.
  • Writing: It is the field related to everything related to the world of writing with all its types and specializations.

HOW TO START(THE HARDEST LEVEL)

Introduce yourself in a video:

 You can talk about your products and services, as well as industry-related subjects and challenges, in an explainer video. This also gives you the opportunity to clarify any ambiguous or difficult-to-understand topics.
You don't have to utilize a video editor, but you should make certain that:
  • Your video is short, to the point, and instructive.
  • excellent sound quality
  • The illumination is bright (daylight is preferred).
  • You're talking about your services, background, and qualifications, so the background is relevant and/or not distracting.

Finally, don't be afraid to let your personality shine through with a sense of humor. This is a fantastic method to connect with potential clients and make them feel at ease working with you.


Low price at first: 

At first, it is so important to start with low price or low salary, and that to create a competitive atmosphere, as you know there are plenty of people that are offering the same service.

And after you finish with your three clients and get good reviews, then you can increase your work price by double or even triple. But always remember to evaluate yourself before putting a price on your work, the more experienced and professional you are the more your salary increase. 


Always be professional and respectful

Your reputation isn't only based on the quantity of positive reviews you have or on success rate data. It's also crucial how you interact with customers.

The following are the guidelines for being professional and attracting repeat business:
  • Respond to messages as soon as possible.
  • Never finish a project until the client is completely happy.
  • Suggest making a phone call if things become hectic or confused.
  • Excessive fulfillment and a lack of promises.
  • In the emails, there are no misspellings or grammatical errors.

Above all, respect yourself, and if someone has been abusive from the beginning, it's generally best not to work with them.


Choose a specific field and start learning it

I believe you have a good understanding of the most significant of these topics, but you are still undecided about which field is best for you.

I wish you well, in the sense that you already have a prior interest in one of the areas of self-employment; however, if you do not, that is great; simply follow the steps below:
  • Learn everything there is to know about the many types of self-employment and attempt to obtain as much information as possible about each one
  • Consider this: What are the things that pique your attention and make you feel passionate?
  • To learn about your talents and individuality, talk to your family and close friends.


Time management 

Working as a freelancer has two sides, and only the bad side is genuinely damaging. As a Lancer, you have complete discretion on how you manage your time, which exposes your time to waste. As a result, you must have the necessary knowledge, information, and tools to effectively manage your time.



Keep getting certified

If you have the abilities but lack a college diploma or relevant work experience, you can earn a free degree through platforms such as Khan Academy, Coursera, and EdX, which offer courses affiliated with major colleges such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, and the University of California at Berkeley.
