The truth is that that you cannot make good money with freelancing, the only thing where you can make money is trading.
This is wrong. Freelancing is a good venture and endeavor maybe you just didn't make much through freelancing but there's no point condemning it. Freelancing works, always has. But there are several criteria:
1. The demand for that particular skill: Some skills have limited demands and very high competition. In such a scenario, Its kinda hard to break through and stay on top of the competition.
2. The niche: Different niches have different demands. You can be in a tiny scoped niche and expect many offers. It just doesn't work that way.
Freelancing has no more scope. Do not waste your time by learning anything related to freelancing. Instead learn something about trading.
Funny. There are several people on the forum who are freelancers and are doing pretty well for themselves.
At the end of the day, everyone can't be traders as there are many other skills one could learn and make a living from. It's different for everyone.
