Lessons include: (1) What is Freelancing?. Freelancing is a form of self-employment. As a freelancer, you don't work exclusively for any specific company. This gives you the freedom to live anywhere with reliable internet connection. (2) Temporary Freelancing. The gig economy provides flexibility when people need it most. For example, temporary positions, contract work, and other types of freelancing are excellent options for people who have lost their jobs or are in between jobs. (3) Time is Money. As a freelancer, you’ll need to learn how to make the best use of your time. The faster and more efficiently you work, the more money you'll make. (4) Picking Your Services. If you’re ready to choose which freelance services you’d like to offer to potential clients, here are some important ideas and concepts to help you decide. (5) Freelance Pricing. Setting your price as a freelancer requires that you understand the value of your services. You also need to know your target customers and competitors. After all, you don't want to set your rates too low and undersell yourself or too high you lose potential projects to competitors. (6) Finding Customers. When you're self-employed as a freelancer, you need to figure out how to stand out from the competition. Branding is what makes certain companies stand out, while others fail to connect. (7) Social Media. Market research will also inform which social media platforms you choose to promote your work on because you'll know where your customers are online. (8) Customer Service. Part of great customer service is being there when your customers need you. Being active on social media ensures you're easily found online. Make sure to fill out all of your social media profiles and include links to your other platforms on each. (9) Taxes as a Freelancer. Freelancing is a business. Like any business, you need to pay taxes. Depending on how you register your business, you might not need a business license. Your social security number is your license if you are a sole proprietor. (10) Freelancing Platforms. A freelancing platform is an excellent option for people starting in self-employment. Many of them require you to apply so it's a good idea to have a portfolio of work, resume, and biography or statement ready. (11) Your First To-Dos. In this section, you'll find a to-do list, a Google Sheets spreadsheet template to track keywords, competitors, finances, and more. We also provided a list of handy resource links. (12) Resources.
