So, you’re thinking about becoming a freelancer. You’ve heard the stories of people who have ditched the nine-to-five in favor of a life of freedom and flexibility.

And it sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

But is freelancing all it’s cracked up to be? Do those “make money online fast” promises from the online gurus really hold true?

Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of a freelancing life so that you can make an informed decision about whether it’s right for you.

The Pros of Freelancing

1. You’re your own boss.

When you’re a freelancer, you’re the one calling the shots.

You get to decide when and where you work, which clients you work with, and how much you charge for your services.

If you’re sick of working for a boss who doesn’t appreciate your efforts, then freelancing might be the perfect solution.

2. You can make your own schedule.

One of the biggest advantages of freelancing is that you get to choose when you work.
