– Freedom of Clients
Freelancers have the unique ability to choose the clients they work with. They also have the ability to work with many clients or only a few select clients. FlexJobs’ survey of over 1,000 freelancers found that networking (56%) and job sites like FlexJobs (47%) are the two most common ways that freelancers find clients.
– Control of Workload
Another benefit of freelancing is the ability to choose your workload. You can work as much or as little as you want, and you can choose projects that are meaningful to you. You get to focus on the work you love without the distractions of a full-time job like meetings, office politics, office distractions, etc.
– Flexibility
With such freedom over clients and workload, freelancers have the flexibility that most people dream of. If you want to work full-time most of the year and only part-time during the summer, you have the flexibility and control to make that decision.
– Independence
Freelance jobs offer independence. Not only are you free of the cubicle and 9-to-5 work life, you also have the ability to work alone, and for the most part, where you are most comfortable doing so.
– Exposure
A lot of jobs offer employees variety; however, working a freelance job opens up the ability work on a variety of projects and topics. Working for one company in-house may not provide experience in other industries and career areas. Freelancing is a way to broaden horizons. This variety can help create an environment that is less redundant and boring.
