What Is
Freelancing?
Freelancing is a contract-based
profession where instead of being recruited in an organization, the person uses
his skills and experience to provide services to a number of clients. In simple
terms, freelancing is when you use your skills, education, and experience to
work with multiple clients and take on various assignments without committing
to a single employer. The number of assignments or tasks that you can take just
depends on your ability to deliver on them on the agreed time. Freelancing
usually involves the jobs (called gigs) that allow you to work from home
situations or any location. But this does not mean that freelancing is the same
as working from home. A freelancer is someone who work independently and can
work for multiple clients at the same time. These services relate to the
person’s skills and are not necessarily provided only for businesses. Freelancer
or freelance worker is terms commonly used for a person who is self-employed
and not necessarily committed to a particular employer for long-term. Freelance
workers may sometimes represented by a temporary agency or a company that resells freelance services to clients. Others
work independently or use professional websites or associations to get clients.
