Regular jobs usually need you to have certain academic qualifications. Some jobs need you to have really high degrees, like a master's degree. For example, if you want to join a bank job, you might need an MBA. You will have to spend many years and a lot of money to get a degree. However, freelancing is totally different. You need professional-level skills rather than a degree. For instance, if you want to be a website designer, you don’t need a university degree, you need ability to design websites. To be a freelancer, you need skills, not just education.
Why Freelancing is Better Than a Regular Job

After so many years of experience let me say that offline job is much more better than online work. Sometimes mental free situation starts killing our ability. In offices things and tasks are properly arranged and we keep moving and keep discussing. Here we just sit alone and write and then started feeling drowsy then move towards social media and chatting. No pressure sometime means no work

What sites are you talking about. The ones I know are still popular (Fiverr and Upwork). To minimize risk, you will have to try multiple sites and also in the mean time build your own blog or publish ebooks

Why to try little known sites when you already have options like FIverr and Upwork which are not just sites but publicly trading companies.
Each of them has it's pros and cons. Freelancing is better than a regular job simply because it gives flexibility. But freelancing has unstable income.
I have never had a traditional job, so I can't really compare. Freelancing allows you the freedom to work anytime, anywhere, and spend more time with your family. However, the income can be unpredictable.
I can't do a regular job as it stands but I am currently doing freelancing and it is not affecting me negatively one bit.
When you are freelancer and you are big and establish in it, you to a very large extent determine the income that you would be earning every month.
You have a point. Being an online freelancer can provide more opportunities, especially if he or she is well-skilled.
That's so nice, I have heard about similar cases like this before in the past. What freelance site is he working on right now?
