The Business of Freelancing

The COVID-19 era has shown us that the future of work is here. More projects and fewer budgets mean that selecting the right person for the right project is imperative to success. Companies — from large MNCs to SMEs — have less wiggle room than ever before. We believe creative freelancers will play a pivotal role in helping large corporations, SMEs, or start-up companies to manage their internal resources and enable the use of exceptional project-based talent that would otherwise not be economically feasible to bring on board. Most importantly, during times of uncertain market conditions, they enable businesses to maximise performance across peaks and troughs in demand. This book aims to bring about more awareness of the lesser known profession called 'freelancing' and generate the next wave of 'Future Leaders' with entrepreneurial and self-employed mindsets.Contents: Introduction to Freelancing:Introduction (Why we made this book)What is Freelancing all about?Types of FreelancersPros & Cons of FreelancingStarting Out:Be Your Own BossFinding Your NicheGet in the Frame of MindBuild Your CommunityKeeping Your Financial Stats StableTime ManagementMarketing Yourself & Getting Clients:How to Market YourselfBuilding Online ReputationNetworkingProtecting Yourself:Basic ContractingKey Terms to be IncludedInsuranceTaking Care of Your Mind and Body
