Freelancing: The New Economy

Freelancing: The New Economy - Teewd Team

Do you find yourself disenfranchised with your 9-5 job? Struggling to make ends meet while still churning out 40 hours of work a week? Have a passion or special talent, but cannot utilize it because work makes you feel so burnt out? Do you wish you could turn your art into a career, but always thought it was an unrealistic dream?

 If this is the case, then you may be specially suited to the world of freelance work. Read on to find out more about the realities of freelancing, as well as some opportunities you can take advantage of right now on teewd.com.

 How Freelancing is Shaping the World of Work

When I first heard about freelance work, my initial reaction was to scoff. People had been telling me that they were making $20 - $30 per hour, while working on their own time, and from the comfort of their own home. As someone who had bought into the 9-5 lie, this just did not seem realistic to me. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is, right?

 It was not until I tested it out for myself that I realized that those people had been telling the truth. As a full-time market researcher, I decided I wanted to earn some extra income on the side, and I needed a flexible job. I knew I was a decent researcher, and I could easily help companies locally and globally collect data via inbound telephone surveys, SMS, Mail, IVR Surveys and Online. So, I created an account on teewd.com. I expected to earn some extra pocket money, some income I could use to get takeout every now and then. Instead, my profiles exploded, and I found myself in the exact position that I had been told about by others: bringing in about $500 a week, while working on my own time, and never having to leave San Antonio.

 In recent years, especially with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, freelancing has taken the world by storm. More and more people have been turning away from traditional full-time jobs, and towards freelance work. And it is easy to see why: freelancing allows you to make money while working when you want, where you want, and on whatever projects you want. As I said before, it sounds almost like a dream; except this is real.

 Freelancing also allows people who could not otherwise hold down traditional jobs to be independent, earn their own income, and continue living whatever lifestyle they choose. Freelancing has opened a world of opportunity for people with disabilities and mental health issues, students with no work experience or who need a flexible schedule, single or stay-at-home parents, and the elderly.

 The Truth About Freelancing

If you jump into freelancing expecting it to be like a winning lottery ticket - minimal work and maximum payoff - you are going to fail and fail fast. In the beginning, you should expect to put in more time and effort than you likely would at a regular job. Eventually, you will be able to build up your client base to the point where you will be able to make a significant amount of money with minimal effort, but until then, expect to crunch.

 Although it may be tough in the beginning, if you focus on where you want to go, even the difficult days become worth it. But even on those hard days, there is still something genuinely nice about working from the comfort of your own home, dressed in pajamas, listening to Taylor Swift and eating pizza rolls while banking $30 an hour.

 Additionally, not all the jobs you get will be easy - or even enjoyable. As a researcher, I have had to conduct market research on topics I have had little to no interest in. Whether your niche is writing, art, coaching, or tutoring, you will sometimes be required to complete projects that are utterly boring or even stressful.

 On the flip side, freelancing allows you to set your own hours. You can take days off, or you can crunch for 12-14 hours without getting in trouble for clocking overtime. You can choose to take your vacation days whenever and for however long you want. You can work from literally anywhere, meaning you can travel as much as you would like and still make money. And, best of all, you get to use your talents and passions to make other people’s lives better. Not to mention the fact that the income you will earn is very, very abundant, if you are willing to put in the extra work. There are really no limits to freelancing. Although other jobs may have a set wage or salary, with freelancing, the sky really is the limit.

 Freelancing Opportunities

If you are thinking “that’s fine for you, but there’s nothing out there for me,” there is, in fact, a way of capitalizing on nearly every skill out there. If you are talented at writing, art, music, or marketing, you can offer to sell your services to small businesses on freelancing platforms such as www.Teewd.com.  But if you have any other skill, you can also offer Live Lessons, online tutoring, or virtual lessons, such as teaching others how to dance, play an instrument, or learn a second language. And if you still think you have no skills, you could always share your knowledge on almost any niche through an introductory blog on teewd.com, which can be later monetized with Google AdSense or affiliate marketing partnerships.

 Conclusion

Freelancing is not easy. It is not a wide, flat road to wealth. It requires hard work and dedication. In the beginning, it may be more work than your regular job, and you may make less than before. But once you have worked your way up, you can feel an even bigger sense of accomplishment in knowing that you built your own empire, from scratch, and entirely for yourself. You can work on your own time and your own terms, and you can finally do a job that you love instead of one where you are simply dragging yourself through the day. Instead of living to work, freelancing on teewd.com can offer you the ability to work and fully live.
