With rising prices for raw materials, it is not surprising that people are looking for other ways to make money. Extra work is no longer an exception but a rule especially in cities where the cost of living can be quite high. Now, people hold two or three jobs just to both ends. And this is not just a trend for students but also for people who have established careers. Today, everyone is doing a sideline for that extra income.
One of the most popular sources of extra money is freelancing. Unlike part-time job as a babysitter on weekends or doing some hours at the local cinema after work, freelancing allows you to practice your profession. That way, you can use what you already do in your day job and apply the things you already know or in short your expertise.
Freelancing also gives the person more free time compared to other jobs. This is because freelancing does not require the person to make a certain number of hours. Jobs are often per project basis. The schedule is at the beginning of the contract. It is up to the person to manage or budget his time so he can finish the job on or before the deadline. This is actually one of the great things about freelancing. Job is done when the person is finished with it.
Building a reputation
Remember that freelance work only survive through referrals and repeat job orders. Unlike your regular job, which has a steady income and a steady number of work, freelancing assignments will largely depend on orders from people you already have worked with and the people who have heard of your services.
