In this day and age, it’s tough to stand out on your own. Unfortunately this is what causes a lot of people to stay sheltered in jobs they hate, because they have a false sense of job security. However, ask any person laid off from the recession and they’ll be the first to tell you that nothing is secure, so you might as well go for the gold and do something you really want to do.
It’s really not hard to make it as a freelancer if you’re really set on doing it. Even in the worst part of the recession, there were tons of clients and projects out there and there was, and is, never a shortage of work. The problem really becomes, not can I make it as a freelancer, but can you get the clients to find you?
