What is Freelance?
Self-employed work where you take on projects from multiple clients rather than one employer.
Understanding Freelance
Freelancing means working for yourself and taking on projects from various clients rather than being employed by a single company. Freelancers have control over which projects they accept, their rates, and their schedule.
Remote freelancing is popular in fields like design, writing, development, and marketing. It offers maximum flexibility but requires business skills like client acquisition, contract negotiation, and financial management.
