you have to sell them on why they should
hire you and then you've got to close
that contract you've got all these kind
of like business technicalities that you
have to go through that normally you
wouldn't have to and then you have to do
that potentially over and over again at
your clients churn
yeah there's a lot of opportunities the
challenge is actually getting the job
which is probably beyond the scope of
this right now I mean you can work look
at like up work for example and see if
there's something that's good fit but as
a freelancer I mean one of your biggest
challenges is just getting clients and
that comes down to like marketing and
sales so that's gonna be one of the
bigger challenges and differences
because obviously if someone hires you
full-time like getting a job is still
kind of a marketing and sales exercise
you have to sell yourself to the company
on how you are going to help them how
you're going to make them more
successful why they should hire you over
the other ninety nine people that
applied so you're really gonna be
marketing and selling yourself there
marketing is like the mass version like
where you want to get people's attention
get interviews and then once you're
one-on-one you like to sell yourself on
why they should hire you but you only
have to do it once that's the thing with
a job search you do it once and at most
companies there's a pretty clearly
defined process and then once you're in
they just keep giving you more work
every single day you finish the work
they give you more work you finish the
work they give you more work you finish
the work they give you more work as a
freelancer it's more challenging because
you more frequently have to sell
yourself like you have to market
yourself find those opportunities
interact with the people sell yourself
convince them why they should pay you
ten thousand dollars to do this project
or five thousand dollars or three
hundred bucks an hour or whatever you're
charging you have to sell them on why
they should hire you and then you've got
to close that contract you've got all
these kind of like business
technicalities that you have to go
through that normally you wouldn't have
to and then you have to do that
potentially over and over again at your
clients churn so working as a freelancer
of course is great and there are a lot
of opportunities but the challenge is
like one can you do the work
independently by yourself which if you
can great and then the second challenge
is can you sell yourself and actually
get clients it's obviously easier to
just get a job at a company
working successfully as a freelancer but
there are there is a lot of opportunity
out there
