Are you excited about the thought of working from home, but don’t really know where to start? Well, if you have a particular marketable skill, like writing or web design, you could consider becoming a freelancer! It’s a great way to make a few extra bucks. If you really commit yourself to it, you could even make a sustainable career out of freelance work. It’s like being a modern jack-of-all-trades. But where do you start? This post by Ben Edwards at Money Smart Life has some great ideas to get you thinking:
Freelance Writing- In very high demand and usually requires little to no experience.
Graphic Design- Are you a whiz at InDesign or PhotoShop? If so, you might be able to offer your skills as a freelance graphic designer.
Web and Software Development If you know how to code, there is no reason to sell yourself short for a salary at one company.
Social Media Marketing- If you know how to use social media to drive traffic to websites, and to convert social media into sales, you can offer your services on a freelance or consultant basis
Virtual Assisting- Many of the assistant jobs, from answering emails to scheduling phone interviews, can be done on a freelance basis.
