Has freelancing interested you? Or are you interested in making money online freelancing but you don’t know where to even start? Well, you've come to the right place!


How Powerful a Freelancing Career Is

how powerful freelancing is

Freelancing is a powerful and life-changing career path. Freelancing lets you have more freedom, income, and flexibility options in your day-to-day life. This career also lets you decide the rate you’ll charge for your work, and what kind of projects you want to work on. Working from home has also become a growing trend for the benefits it provides.


With freelancing, you can work for yourself, or work remotely anywhere full-time. You don’t have to commute to an in-person office any longer or deal with traffic every day. Not to mention you can wear whatever you want! (Unless you have a Zoom meeting lol). Through freelancing, you can earn as much as you want by leveraging multiple clients. Whereas with a 9-5 job you only get paid from one employer for every hour you work. 


The workplace is adapting to new changes making freelance services in more demand than ever before. It's no secret that the dream for so many people is to be able to work from home or wherever they want to. Even if you have no freelance experience or don't know which skill to offer, don't worry! You're not too late at all. If you have been freelancing or want to, then now is the time to start. Many people are starting to realize that their 9-5 job is not right for them. They are also questioning if their career position is even secure long-term. Ask yourself: Is your career pandemic proof? Right now, the
future of your work is obvious, it’s freelancing. Here are some things to consider: 


  • Are you currently unemployed and looking for a new job?


  • Is your income from your full-time job not enough to make ends meet?


  • Are you looking for a part-time job or a side hustle that could replace your current income source soon?


  • Do you want to have more time to spend at home with your family and with your significant other?


  • Have you ever wanted to make your schedule and work from home?


If you resonated with any of these questions then you might want to consider exploring freelancing jobs. The best part about freelancing is you don’t need a master’s degree to start making money as a freelancer. Have you ever dreamed of working for yourself? Imagine being able to spend your day the way you’ve always wanted to and make money by doing your passion. Imagine waking up when you want to without the stress of hurrying to make it to the office on time. Imagine having the ability to sit down and start your work once you feel in your zone. Imagine having no more fear that you could be fired from your only job by your boss. These worries and thoughts don't have to be here any longer through the power of FREELANCING. 


Working for yourself will grant you control over your life, income, and job security. As a freelancer, you can work with any business and provide them with a skill/service. In return, they pay you money monthly. It's a win-win for both parties. So to answer if freelancing can be a profitable full-time career? The answer is
YES. Compared to a single flow of income such as a corporate job, with freelancing, you can double your income. For example, if you had 5 clients paying you an average of $2k per month you would be making over $100k per year. A few in-demand high paying online jobs you should know about are:

  Success Stories Of 2 Top-Rated Freelancers

Fiverr success stories

Freelance Success Story #1 - Alex Fasulo is a 28-year-old girl who is making $378k a year as a Fiverr freelancer. She doubled her income overnight at age 25 making $15k per month on Fiverr the first year. 


How Did She Become Successful? Before Alex became a successful freelance writer on Fiverr, she had a 9-5 job. A few days later after quitting her 9-5 job she started posting gig offers on Fiverr. That same night, she went home and opened up to 5 gig offers on Fiverr. In only a few days, she discovered she was going to be able to make it as a full-time freelancer! This sparked a fire in her and she saw that she is as capable of earning fifteen-twenty dollars a day. She also realized that she didn’t have to go back to a job she hated. Now she is making thirty thousand dollars per month and can more than cover her bills. If you want to see the full story I made a reaction video on her click here to watch


Her 'Why' For Freelancing: Before Alex became a freelancer in 2016, she worked in PR and made $36,000 a year. She felt out of place in this corporate job and was unhappy with her 9-5 job. Alex was done with having only enough money to pay the bills. She found out that the corporate world wasn't for her. She knew there was another way that fit her creative personality and her earning potential. She decided something needs to change, so she decided to ditch her 9 to 5 job for a life of full-time freelancing. 

Freelance Success Story #2 - Jennifer Shealey is a Top-Rated seller on Fiverr since 2014. She has made earnings of over $366K to date.


How Did She Become Successful? Jennifer became successful through offering a variety of freelancing services such as: SEO, Digital Marketing, Custom Designs, and more! She first started offering her services on Fiverr doing Facebook ads for $5 and has scaled since then.


Her ‘why’ for freelancing: Jennifer got laid off at her 9-5 job for texting too much because she was bored with her job. She then started looking for ‘work from home jobs’ and stumbled across Fiverr. Since then, she has now worked on Fiverr for over 7 years. Through her dedication, sacrifice, and determination to work for herself she is now able to make a good living from home and inspires others to do the same. If you want to see more about Jennifer’s story and how you can leave their 9-5 I made a video reacting to her story here.
