*picks up 🎤 * Hello LinkedIn community! It is no secret that layoffs are rampant right now, across all industries. With the entertainment industry & surrounding sectors in LA being hit veryyyy hard. This has forced a lot of people into freelance careers that they didn’t ask for, plan for or have any idea how to navigate. I was full time freelance from 2014-2022 and I was a master at making it happen for myself! A lot of people in my IRL community have asked for advice on navigating freelance life. Re-sharing this article below with some of my key tips. Also, the comments/DMs are open to anyone who has more questions about the wild world of freelancing! #layoffs #freelance #careeradvice

📣 Always Freelance. For those with a regular 9-to-5 job, freelance and turn it into your side hustle. With layoffs happening every week, you need a safety net. Freelancing creates: → Additional income. → New work for your portfolio. → A fallback in case of layoffs. I made the mistake early in my career and again just a couple of years ago in not freelancing while I worked full-time. Ultimately, I was fired in the first scenario and laid off in the second—both times with zero freelancing prospects. Don't make that mistake. Pick up a freelance project when and where you can—you'll be happy you do. — If you're looking to learn more about freelancing and growing your creative empire, sign up for my newsletter (it's free)—link in the comments.

"So, why the hell should I not be a freelancer?" "It is because it isn't full-time and won't be considered as a job. I am saying this for your betterment. Get a proper, full-time job." This was the conversation I've had with a person I had known for the past 10 years. A lot of people tend to think that freelancing is an irregular and unsteady job that has no job security. No, they are wrong. As a freelancer, I get to 👉🏻 work with a wide variety of clients 👉🏻 expand my skillset 👉🏻 work for multiple industries 👉🏻 create my own schedule 👉🏻 enjoy a flexible worktime. These things are not possible with a full-time job. True, my career isn't unilateral or traditional. But it sure is stable and I'm proud of the way my career has shaped up. Moreover, I'd say that #freelancing is even more stable and secure than a proper full-time job because #layoffs don't affect me and I can tweak my skillsets as per the current market trends, which is most certainly not possible with a regular full-time job. And adding a steady stream of stable clients to the mix will help you increase your financial stability, which in turn, will help you leading your life the way you want to (not the way others want you to!) -------- Thanks for reading my post and if you want a freelance writer to take care of your content needs, I am just a DM away (yeah, this is a shameless promotion that this post really doesn't need 😛)

Freelancing sounds like a dream, but here’s the reality check. Expectation vs. Reality. Expectation: Set your own schedule, work whenever you want. Reality: Working late nights and weekends just to meet deadlines. Expectation: Freedom to pick only the projects you love. Reality: Taking on any project just to pay the bills. Expectation: Unlimited vacation days. Reality: No paid leave and working through vacations. Expectation: Escape the 9-to-5 grind. Reality: Your workday never really ends. Freelancing might seem easy, but it's not bro 😭 Comment your experience🤝 #webdeveloper #clients #Freelancing #RemoteWork #FreelanceLife #WorkFromHome #Freelancers #Freelancer #GigEconomy #DigitalNomad #FreelanceJobs #FreelanceTips #WebDevelopment #Coding #WebDesign #Frontend #FullStackDeveloper
