Why Freelancers Are So Popular

Just about any modern business can benefit from a steady stream of freelance writers, web developers, videographers, accountants, marketing experts, and PR professionals. Freelancers, in turn, are able to find projects that suit their unique talents and interests and can work from anywhere at any time.

There are many reasons why people choose to become freelancers, and the flexibility of this career choice has made it a very popular option for college graduates and laid-off workers alike. Working freelance allows you to set your own schedule, choose which jobs you accept and which clients you work with, and often even make more money than a regular full-time job.

Many people start freelance careers as side hustles and slowly build their skills and portfolio before making the leap to full-time freelance work. And that's a great way to get a feel for whether this is something you really want to do as your main source of income or just want to use to supplement other sources of revenue like traditional employment or investment income.

In a job, you're obligated to show up every day for the same number of hours at a certain location — regardless of whether there's actual work to be done. When you freelance, however, you're a contractor for a specific project or set of projects with an agreed-upon hourly rate. Generally, your freelance projects will operate on an exclusive basis, and you'll have no obligation to work with the same client again.

For a lot of people, the best part about freelancing is that you're never tied down to a single job or location. This gives you the freedom to travel, pursue other projects, and take a break from your career whenever you want. It also allows you to keep a flexible work/life balance, and if you're good at your job, you may find that you can even work on the weekends.

Freelancers are in incredibly high demand right now, as businesses everywhere are looking to expand their digital presence with engaging, top-tier content. That's why writers, web developers, video producers, and copywriters are all incredibly sought-after freelancers today.

A company's website speaks volumes about its brand and is often the first impression customers have of a business. That's why web designers and developers who can create, build, and maintain beautiful, functional, and fast websites are always in high demand.

In the digital age, every brand needs a strong social media presence to reach customers. That's why social media managers and marketers are incredibly important freelancers for many brands. These professionals are skilled in identifying the most effective strategies to promote a brand, develop compelling content, drive traffic, and ultimately convert visitors into paying customers.

For up-and-coming brands, bringing in talented freelancers can be a huge advantage in getting the word out about their brand. They can bring a fresh perspective, innovative solutions, and new approaches to connecting with customers that can help give a business an edge in a competitive market.

My entrepreneurial journey started in my mid 20s. I was in graduate school at the time, but I was determined to find a way to start my own online business.

 
Since that time, I have invested around $50,000 on courses and high-level coaching programs to develop my skills, learn how to sell and market online, and fill in all the gaps that were preventing me from being successful in running an online business.

 
I created Do The List as a way to take what all I’ve learned and help entrepreneurs build a larger following, market and sell their products and services, and more effectively use the online space for their business or brand.
