It seems like the dream career, right? No boss, no schedule, and no office. Well\u2026while part of that is true, there\u2019s more to the story. Like anything in life, freelancing has its own ups and downs. Its advantages and drawbacks. If you\u2019re in the industry, you know what we mean. If not, or you\u2019re on the fence&#8230;read this first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Pros of Being a Freelancer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freelancing can be wonderful, and there are many luxuries to enjoy that you wouldn&#8217;t necessarily get with other roles. What are they? Well, that\u2019s what we&#8217;re about to tell you&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexibility of Choice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By flexibility, we mean things like choosing your clients, your projects, and the general niche you\u2019d like to work in. For example, as a freelance writer, you may decide to specialize in blogging or copywriting projects. Alternatively, you may specialize by niche, and target the health and fitness industry. In the end, it\u2019s really up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getflywheel-images.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Copy-of-2016.9.13-Life-of-a-Sales-Team-Member-0397.jpg\" alt=\"layout by flywheel freelancer pros and cons two men talking at desk\" class=\"wp-image-26725\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You also get to choose the hours you work. While some prefer working 20 hours a week, others may want to work 60, or somewhere in between. Once again, it\u2019s your call. You can even do 60 one week and 20 the next. It\u2019s all about managing your time effectively and getting the work done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With experience, you can also become selective with the projects you take on. For example, if a client is not paying you fairly, you can, and should decline. After all, you\u2019re a business owner and not an employee. Always remember that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Points to Keep in Mind:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When starting out, it\u2019s not a bad idea to take on lower paying clients. This could help you build a stronger portfolio. With experience though, you should definitely lift your price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yes, you can be selective&#8230;but bear in mind that certain niches or projects will pay more money. Just something to think about when making decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lifestyle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all want to take control of our lives, right? Who wouldn\u2019t like the idea of being able to work anywhere or anytime? That\u2019s just another perk of freelancing. If you\u2019re a morning guy, you can work early on. If you tend to focus at night, then you can work then, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most times, you\u2019ll be location independent, too. That means you can pretty much work anywhere you want. Fancy the Starbucks environment, then so be it. Prefer the comfort of home? Well, your sofa can be your office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Try to find the place and time in which you are most productive. Then, build a habit to work during that time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While freelancing is mostly remote, it\u2019s still important to network and meet people in person. Not only does it build trust and friendship, but it\u2019s another door to potential clients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evade the Rituals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getflywheel-images.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/03\/2016-Q4-Retreat-All-Company-Support-9845-copy.jpg\" alt=\"three people talking around chair with laptop and coffee\" class=\"wp-image-26726\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an employee, you usually have to set up your alarm, get dressed, and drive to work every morning. You might get stuck in traffic along the way. After all, most people are making that same journey. And on the way back, it\u2019s the same story again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When freelancing, you don\u2019t have to go through any of that&#8230;in most cases, obviously. So not only does it save you the hassle, but the time and money too. You could be saving an additional 10 hours, not to mention $50 of gas, every single week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Points to Remember:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Never waste time or money. In these extra hours, why not work on the administrative side of things? With the extra money, why not put it into your savings account? After all, it\u2019s best to be prepared.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With the flexibility you have, try to be there for your family when they need you. For example, you could pick up your children from school or spend more time with your spouse. When you\u2019re happier at home, you\u2019re happier at work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Control Your Income<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re working for someone, you have a set salary or hourly rate. That rate is usually fixed or falls within a specific range (if you\u2019re in sales for example). As a freelancer, you not only have control of your income, but you also have the opportunity to earn more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, let\u2019s mention that earning more comes with experience. When you grow as a freelancer, you can start subcontracting to other freelancers. That way, you make a cut from all the work they do. You can also charge higher prices, utilize multiple income streams, coach others, and so on. The options are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Scaling Correctly:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>At some point, you\u2019ll want to scale. You may decide to take on more projects, subcontract to others, or even sell your personal coaching. Whatever your goals, make sure you hit them one at a time. Otherwise, you could end up running around in circles and not accomplishing any of them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scaling requires time and effort. When you first start, you\u2019ll probably be earning on the lower end. But when you provide value and wait patiently, your time will come.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, even the best job has downsides\u2014that&#8217;s just the reality. While freelancing is great, there are certainly some drawbacks to consider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing Finances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cash flow is important. We all have bills to pay, food to put on the table, and free time we\u2019d like to enjoy. Many beginners fall into scams where they do the&nbsp;work, but receive little or no payment. Others do the work and receive their payments late.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a freelancer, you need to work your budget accordingly. Some clients will pay you instantly. Others will pay you weekly, monthly, or even quarterly. It\u2019s good to build relationships with your clients, to sign contracts with them, and to agree on payment dates. That way, you know when to expect your money and both sides are protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Valuable tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When working on projects, make sure you request half or full payment upfront. This helps prevent scams, ensures you are paid on time, and helps you manage your finances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/resources\/contracts-101\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creating a legal contract<\/a> between you and your clients. This protects both sides, and usually ensures you are paid on time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding Clients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getflywheel-images.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/03\/2016.10.04-How-to-stand-out-in-a-Flywheel-interview-8880-2-copy.jpg\" alt=\"two men talking across white desk\" class=\"wp-image-26727\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number one nightmare for any freelancer is not having a continuous source of clients. Why? Because without clients, you can\u2019t get paid. In fact, many freelancers stumble on getting that first client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the same vein, you\u2019ll be challenged with finding high quality, recurring, and trusted clients. Often times, you\u2019ll also be competing with individuals willing to work for a fraction of your cost. To that end, try to find clients who understand your value and are willing to pay for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Actionable Advice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Focus on retaining clients rather than continuously looking for new ones. That means spending more time on payable work for clients whose needs and style you already understand. This way, you can often perform the work faster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As a freelancer, you have to be proactive and pitch your services to potential clients. Not only are you creating opportunities for yourself, but you\u2019re also cutting the competition and increasing your chances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a freelancer, you\u2019re self-employed. That means many things. First and foremost, it means there is no guaranteed paycheck. Sounds scary, right? But it also means that no one is telling you what to do, no one is counting your hours, and no one is checking that you\u2019ve done the work. If you don\u2019t do it, you simply won\u2019t be paid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often times, you\u2019ll be juggling multiple clients. And when nobody\u2019s monitoring you, you\u2019ll see how easy it is to get distracted. Things like your phone ringing, your TV, and your social media updates\u2014they\u2019ll constantly be nagging you. Then there are the noises and the distractions from people around you. To succeed in this game, you have to stay on top of yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Managing Your Time:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When working, try to rid yourself of any distractions. They simply suck your time and interrupt your thought process. Also, inform your household that you need some quiet time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When scheduling clients, make sure you understand the workload and that you can fit it into your schedule. Never take on a client if you don&#8217;t have the time to dedicate to their work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wearing Multiple Hats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Freelancing is not just about freelancing. You\u2019ll be juggling different balls and wearing different hats. Like any business owner, you\u2019ll be responsible for marketing, invoicing, contracts, troubleshooting technology, making tax payments, and a bunch of other tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from a learning curve being involved, a lot of these tasks are administrative in nature and don\u2019t make you any money (at least directly). You only make money when you\u2019re working on projects. And even when a project is finished, you might have to go back for edits, which takes more of your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getflywheel-images.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/03\/2016.10.06-five-free-WordPress-content-calendar-plugins-8910-copy.jpg\" alt=\"three people talking over laptops hugging\" class=\"wp-image-26728\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Actionable Advice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It can seem overwhelming when you realize how much you\u2019re responsible for. Just take it in baby steps. Don\u2019t think you have to master everything right from the beginning. You\u2019ll figure it out along the way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When starting out, consider taking on fewer projects so you get a feel of the workload involved. Once you get a grasp of things, you can slowly increase the workload.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Freelancing for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, does freelancing still seem like the dream career? To be honest, it\u2019s just like anything else in life: It has its ups and downs. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people just prefer the stability and security that a regular job provides. Others prefer the flexibility and lifestyle that freelancing offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about you? Are you looking to transition into the freelancing frenzy?
