Pros and Cons of Freelancing !!

Pros of freelancing

2. Good work-life balance – With no rules, you can take regular breaks and head out to see friends

3. Control over your workload – You can be selective about which tasks to take on, so if a job will take too long, or doesn't pay well enough, there's no harm in rejecting it

4. International clients – As the majority of freelance work's done online, freelancers can work with people from around the world

5. Potential to make a lot of money – With the right reputation, the amount of money you can earn is limitless.

Cons of freelancing

1. Keeping up with tax – Filling out self-assessment tax returns can be confusing, but our guide can help

2. Unstable income – You might have to deal with late payments and it's not always easy to find commissions

3. Distractions at home – It can take a lot of discipline to not procrastinate or spend too long in bed when you choose your own hours

4. Work is competitive – Plenty of people will be applying for the best projects, so you'll have to work hard to gain experience and make your application stand out

5. Working on your own – As most of your work will be done on your tod at home, it can get lonely. Look for freelancing groups on sites like Facebook or Meet Up to find other people to chill with while you work.
