You may have thought of going freelance sometimes. It is also something many people want to go with. But why? because going freelance makes you your own boss, gives you independence and a lot of freedom. But in it, there are hidden many scary and unknown prospects. Whether or not you\u2019ll find enough clients? How much will you earn? Etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So to help you with all your doubts; in this blog, we will articulate some facts that they never tell you about.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ea5e53c1e97\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69ea5e53c1e97\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-2' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samparkinfoways.com\/blog\/thinking-of-being-a-freelancer-keep-these-insights-in-mind-before-starting-out\/#1_Handling_all_the_business_affairs_singlehandedly\" >1.

Handling all the business affairs, singlehandedly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freelancing is close to running your business. Unlike, being a staff member whose responsibilities are fixed, when you freelance you become the boss, the marketing head, project manager, accountant, client manager and the list goes on. To put it in simpler terms, you spend most of your days\u2019 time being the admin as you do on the work. Zoom meets, calls, presentations, emails etc. all must be handled by you alone.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Inconsistencies_in_earnings\"><\/span>2. Inconsistencies in earnings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if your earnings are higher as compared to being an employee, it doesn&#8217;t always feel like it because there&#8217;s no regularity when it comes to payments. Sometimes you earn close to the money you get in 3 months within a single month, but at times you have no earnings for many months straight. So you should be able to manage your expenses properly.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Hey_Im_Xyz_I_provide_services_A_B_and_C_Call_me\"><\/span>3. Hey I\u2019m Xyz, I provide services A, B and C. Call me<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to be on your toes every time to promote yourself. There&#8217;s no guarantee that the steady supply of work you\u2019re getting now will continue forever. Self-promotion is something you don\u2019t need to do at the beginning of your freelance career but throughout it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must never stop marketing; the seeds you plant now for outreach can take a while to respond. You must see your own brand as an annoying client who needs constant nurturing over time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helps if you provide a list of achievements and evidence of your work. For generating enough evidence, you need to constantly track all your campaigns. Screenshot your work progress as that will help you to write case studies and get more work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Best_clients_and_big_clients_arent_similar\"><\/span>4. Best clients and big clients aren\u2019t similar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the industry, it\u2019s a big misconception that the more a client is prestigious, the better. But often the experiences with these big-name clients can turn out to be worst. The payment terms of these large companies are unnegotiable, immovable and meagre. Smaller as well as Mid-level clients can provide you with the rewarding opportunities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So treat each job equally. Be aware that big organisations can offer up multiple people to deal with, which can rapidly get confusing. &#8220;With bigger clients, don&#8217;t be afraid to ask at the start if there are other decision-makers involved in the project,&#8221; says graphic designer and illustrator Graham Pilling. &#8220;That enthusiastic person who loves the ideas you&#8217;re sharing with them might not be the one who actually signs off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Find_a_niche_that_you_feel_appropriate\"><\/span>5. Find a niche that you feel appropriate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An all-rounder usually isn\u2019t as successful as a specialist. Being a freelancer you don\u2019t have to be all things. Those who specialise, in fact, are some of the most successful freelancers. It all boil downs to finding your niche and your people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freelancers covering all niches are often ignored by clients, a person who would want to draft content relating to design would look out only for writers having design as their speciality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Learn_to_take_a_break\"><\/span>6. Learn to take a break<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, being successful at promoting yourself and gaining new clients is just half battle won. Once you proceed further you&#8217;ll soon find yourself exhausted and burned both mentally and physically. To work sustainably, at times you need to see yourself as an employee. Give yourself slow days, sick leaves, and holidays. Know when to take a break from work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s easy to accept all jobs that come along the way. But when you sit to work on them, it really stresses you out. Taking periodic breaks help you in the long run to avoid burnout. \u00a0We\u2019re not talking about holidays, but the much ignored \u201cme time. The time when you\u2019re not on your desk but out for a walk, or hanging out with friends. Give your body the space to breathe and your brain a chance to recharge. Your creativity is just as important as your work, do note that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We would suggest keeping a pet with you, it not only provides companionship but also an ear to hear your rants.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Being_lonely_is_crushing\"><\/span>7. Being lonely is crushing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exhaustion and stress are not the only dangers to your mental health. Being a freelancer, you\u2019re bound to get lonely, and that can be quite crushing. Constantly working from the same space day and night will get you lonely no matter how big an introvert you are. Make sure to regularly call or face time your family, friends and close ones. Having a quick chat with your tribe helps a lot in keeping you social and less lonely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also create your own freelancer network to avoid isolation. Be that digital or physical, doesn\u2019t matter. Just be in touch with your community, where you can exchange ideas\/experiences and receive critical feedback. Use that network to push your creative instincts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest thing to realise, says marketing and PR consultant Veronica Wood, is that freelancers are your friends, not your competition. &#8220;After some initial suspicion, I realised that we each offer something very unique,&#8221; she recalls. &#8220;I have now made so many freelance friends, as well as winning work and referring work to others, through freelance communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Think_long-term\"><\/span>8. Think long-term<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt always gets better; you just need to keep swimming\u201d \u2013 Dory from Finding Dory. In your freelance journey, there will be obstacles and hurdles but gradually it gets better. For every dusk, there\u2019s dawn waiting. Even if you\u2019re broke right now, you\u2019ll start making more than the people in a 9-5 job. Don&#8217;t worry, it gets better: stay strong!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a freelancer is like running in a long-distance race wherein a lot of endurance, determination, and self-care is important. But if you keep running, you\u2019ll soon reach the finish line.<\/p>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summing_it_up\"><\/span>Summing it up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So these were our few cents on how the journey of a freelancer is like.
