Every job actually has its own freedom, it's just which freedom we like and of course everyone chooses a job with a high salary, whether it's working in a company or choosing freelance. In addition, if you think about it, freedom is not about work but about how we interpret a condition.

Office work can be financially stable, Freelancers are free not to have to come to the office and Business, free from superiors. Well, basically what we focus on will shape our mindset. And how perfect it would be if we did all three and could divide our time well which is much better for achieving financial stability in the future. Because the more income, the closer you will be to achieving financial freedom.

After years of observation and being a part of the industry myself, I've realized that freelancing is not as lucrative or full of freedom as people think it is. People think that one can earn a lot of money by spending less time through freelancing, but that's not entirely true unless you are someone who is extremely talented and has created a name that gets you high-paying clients even for small gigs or jobs. Otherwise, the amount of money you will earn will be directly proportional to the amount of time you spend.

It's pretty simple: freelancing works on gig to gig basis, which means that you get a gig or an order from a client, you complete it, and get paid once the client approves your work, so for you to earn more money, you will need to complete more work, and completing more work requires you to spend more time, not to mention the revisions your clients may ask which are free extra work that you do for them if they don't like something in your work.

So, things are not always as easy as they look like, and not everyone on social media will tell you the real struggle.

There’s a cult around the “digital nomad” but most people are living invoice to invoice, one Slack message away from a week without pay. Unless you’re top 1%, meaning, exceptional skill and personal branding so sharp it becomes its own gravity, freelancing isn’t a shortcut, it’s just capitalism minus the social contract

Freedom does not mean you control your time. But for most, time gets chopped into micro-tasks, endless project hunting, and unpaid client “brainstorming” sessions. That is just a different flavor of wage work with less predictability and no health insurance

It’s also bizarre how people think self-employment is an act of rebellion against the system. But the system is smart. It outsourced risk onto the worker and called it empowerment. Most freelancers are just solo agents absorbing volatility so big companies can stay flexible. Who gets real upside? The outliers. The rest are just spinning wheels in the hope that the next gig is the one that changes everything. You’re right, most people on social media aren’t going to risk the illusion by posting the months where their inbox is empty or their rates get undercut by someone in another timezone. But that silence is half the story. Real freedom isn’t about skipping the boss, it’s about not needing constant permission to exist. Most gigs won’t get you there

Thats why i do fully made out those kind of reaction into those people who do say that freelancing is easy and makes out some easy money on which we know that there are tons of things that you would be needing up to do despite that everything could be done in the convenience of your own home. For those who havent been able to tried out freelancing then they are the ones who do easily say that this is just that simple but once you do step your foot into this field then you do know the sacrifices and the hardship into those people who have been working online. You can make huge amount of income which could be that multiple folds in comparing into your traditional day job but come to think that it would be needing up that required skills and knowledge for you to be hired online and come to think that getting hired or getting a job whether a gig or full time or part time job online isnt that simple. Competition is high just like into those traditional job vacancies and thats why its a wrong thinking that this field is just that easy to get a job and get hired. It doesnt sound simple as it looks. For those who do have exceptional skills then they would be always be ahead of the competition. If you are an individual who do wants to have that some hopes on landing up some job online then you should be trying it out because nothing beats out if you are having a work in the convenience of your own home and together with your family and thats the perks when you do have that work from home on which this isnt something that you can possibly be able to get when you are going into office on everyday. Somehow there are those individuals who do want to have that traditional because they do want to have that kind of socialization on which this would fall down into someones preference in the end of the day. What matter most on here or the most important is that we do able to make income or be able to support our family's needs and wants specially if you are the father or husband then you would definitely be that trying out to acquire or having that multiple possible income source as much as possible since we do have that responsibility to push through on.
