What is a freelancer?

The term freelancer refers to anyone who works for themselves and is not employed by a particular person or organisation in the long-term. They will accept work from individuals or businesses but only usually on a project basis. Once the project is over the freelancer has no further commitment to them.

The role of a freelancer can vary between different industries. In short, a freelancer is anyone working for a company without being directly employed by them as a standard waged member of staff.

Why is freelancing a great way of earning a living?

The real benefit of becoming a freelance worker is that you are in control of your own destiny and while you may work under a number of people you are essentially your own boss. This gives you the opportunity to approach tasks with independence and ambition.

Freelancing allows you greater freedom in how you want to work. The majority of freelancers have the ability to select which projects they would like to embark on, rather than getting stuck in a rut with a day job and constantly being told what to do forever. As soon as the project is over the freelancer can move on and never have to work with those people again if they don't want to.
