Why Freelancing is Better Than a Regular Job

[nomad]

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.

But there are freelancing sites that shut down and those writers have no income to wait. It is best to have an offline job and have writing as a side hustle.

Well, I understand you but it is different strokes for different folks. if I have a steady high paying job I don't think freelancing will be better than it so it varies

 

[Starmix]

Working online is so stressful apart from the electric usage unlike in an offline job we're out of the responsibility in paying electric bills. It's good to have financial freedom.

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

Another reason as to why freelancing might be better than a regular job is the fact that it is more flexible. With freelancing you can actually set when to work, and also do you job form anywhere.

 

[cherry123]

Yeah freelancing offers flexibility of time and it seems be better than a regular job in this area. The thing is that with freelancing you can actually set when to 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

Freelancing offers flexibility in work hours, location, and projects. You can earn more based on skills and productivity. It allows independence, variety in work, and potential for higher income compared to traditional jobs.

Why to try little known sites when you already have options like FIverr and Upwork which are not just sites but publicly trading companies.

 

[Stardom22]

For me l have different perspective on the same that the regular jobs are better than most freelancing sites.

 

[Etini Willie]

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.

 

[freelancermaria]

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.

 

[King Belieal]

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.

 

[Shavkat]

As a freelancer like me, I enjoying the freedom to work and not to work options. It is because I am the boss of my time.

 

[King Belieal]

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?

With regular job, you have fixed income, with freelancing, you can make it big. You can even earn through multiple skills
