freelance, freelancers, working freelance, freelance work, independent work
in this blog we have already spoken many times about the freelance work, either on benefits of hiring freelancers, there are often myths around this type of work and even much more specific aspects such as the time to hire a freelance program. In addition, there are many positive aspects of freelance work all over the world already knows and expects such as manage their own schedules.
But . . . Did you know that there are some benefits more than likely to be as expected?
1. Develop global and comprehensive knowledge
a good freelancer not only knows, for example, schedule. It has also developed a good capacity for organization of a project, self-management of their activities, communication and dealing with customers, managing finances, taxation issues . . . Many factors that are not part of the work itself but that are essential for good management and that this way of life is sustainable.
2. It strengthens the confidence in your work and your self-esteem
have the capacity to develop their own business (that is, after all, the freelance work) helps a lot to better understand your strengths and rely on them.
3. Settle the job to your productive moments
there are those who (and I'm definitely part of this group), a very hard work immediately after lunch. Dream, distractions . . . Impossible. In a traditional employment, fulfilling a schedule, it is difficult to escape to this moment unproductive, but working freelance you can quietly choose lunch and then take the next hour or two totally free. Another example: people who yield much more at night when everything is more calm than during the day. Working freelance you can easily use the day for administrative issues and rest, while the nights will be the moments of high productivity.
4. Flexibility in means of payment
when you have a traditional employment, it is most likely that your employer will deposit the pay weekly or monthly in a bank account or hand you a check. However, when working freelance, you can choose between a wide variety of forms of payment (of which in Work we have several decks), including non-traditional forms such as exchanges for other products or payments in various currencies. For example, I knew of a community manager that by spending about four hours a week to the Facebook page of a restaurant I went there to eat for free three times per week.
5. Flexibility in payment schemes
you can choose to collect everything in advance. Or collect the work at a higher price, but it was not until 60 days after delivery. Or weekly for hours. Contingent employment Or tied to results, and earn money only when your client also earns money. These are just a few examples, but they are different schemes that will help you not only to find a model that you serve but also to adapt, whenever possible, to the needs of the customer.
6. The temperature is up to you if
you step several times to work in an office whose company had the air conditioning too strong or too low . . . If you work on your own from your home, the control of the air conditioning or heating is literally in your hands.
7. It is easier to eat healthy
unless you work in a company that has a full kitchen or spend money all the time in artisan meals, the only way to lunch something homemade and fresh is working from your home.
8. You will develop your ability to adapt
will be customers that require a certain method in the delivery of the work, others that only can work under a particular scheme of payments, others requiring talk every week, others who need if or if a certain technology . . . And many more possibilities. Work exposed to all of them will be crucial to develop a capacity to adapt increasingly strong: something essential for any aspect of life and, if you are working with technology and internet-related issues, essential for the job (since these things are constantly changing).
9. You will meet professionally to a huge variety of people
