Have you ever been told that you’re “too much of a free spirit” or “too independent” to work a traditional 9-5 job? Well, I have some great news for you! The freelancer profession is about to explode, and there will be an increased demand for freelancers!
Here are three reasons why the freelancer profession is about to explode:
The internet has made it easier than ever for freelancers to find work.
In the past, if you wanted to be a freelance writer, you would have to scour the want ads in the newspaper or send out dozens of (physical) resumes. But now, there are websites and online communities dedicated to connecting freelancers with businesses that need their services. And this trend is only going to continue as more and more companies move their operations online.
Corporate companies are starting to realize the benefits of hiring freelancers.
Freelancers are seen as a lower-risk investment than full-time employees and often have more skills and experience than entry-level employees. This means that businesses can save money by hiring freelancers while still getting high-quality work done.
The rise of the gig economy.
The gig economy is a term that refers to the growing number of people who are working short-term or temporary jobs instead of full-time jobs. And as businesses become more comfortable with hiring gig workers, they’re going to start turning to freelancers more and more to fill their needs.
The flexibility that comes with being a freelancer.
As the workforce continues to evolve, employees increasingly value flexibility and work-life balance over salary and benefits. And what could be more flexible than setting your hours and working from home (or anywhere else in the world, for that matter)? Being a freelancer gives you the freedom to create your schedule and work on projects that you’re passionate about. And that’s something that an increasing number of people will be looking for in their careers.
