One of the biggest opportunities that independent workers has is the flexibility because it gives them the chance to chose when, where and how much they want to work. This allow a great work life balance for them. I would also say that freelance jobs provides opportunity for individuals to increase their streams of income because they can engage in multiple gigs.

Lack of paid work remains a major challenge for independent workers , large companies and powerful individuals are able to steal and divert all the orders, so there is very little paid work available.

One major challenge is competition. Let's say the budget for the job is $100. To get a chance of getting hired, I bid on $90, but the job would be secured by someone who bids on less than my bid amount.

As an independent worker, you have the flexibility of how long you would like to work. However, you have to ensure you have a relatively stable source of income to pay the bills and monthly expenses. Also, unlike working for a company, you will not enjoy health insurance and paid holidays.

The independent workers really have so many challenges so to speak. With that venture being so demanding, the people that engage on that tend to be very hardworking and consistent.
