Who can be future successful freelancers?

How nice the idea of working everywhere in the world, meeting and working with people all over the world, earning money – all benefitss of a freelance career can bring to you. But which personal qualities can lead you to a successfull freelance career?

This is the question that anyone thinks of starting their career as freelancer should consider. As many people notice that freelance seems to be a trendy in this IoT world, when everyone loves the idea of working everywhere when you are enjoying travels, earning money from clients over the world, having friends and networks from far countries… But can it be the great choice for anyone? In this article, I will list some essential qualities for anyone that wants to start working as a freelancer.

At first, to everyone’s surprise – I suppose, the most important deciding element to start the freelance work is your availability. The competition in this market is becoming fiercer than ever (all due to the ‘fashion’ of freelancing is so great to go in). This leads to one buyer, tens of sellers in seconds, hundreds of sellers in hours, and thousands of sellers in days – when there is still only ONE buyer. And don’t think twice before accepting this – the client is not waiting a lot of hours to select their service provider. That is why, once you cross-by the post/job advertising somewhere, immediately please make the call, or send an application email, or quote your price… (ATTENTION: Please follow the communication method required in the job posting!).

Secondly, your expertise and experience. All jobs require this. So it is not necessary to discuss more in here. But there are some misunderstandings in the qualification of working as a freelance translator that I would like to share with you in the next article. If you are interested, please stay tuned and wait for my article.

Lastly, your marketing, communication, organization skills are very important. As a freelancer, you are doing all those tasks, so be prepared and ‘stay hungry’ of all those competencies to continuously upgrade your existing skills for a more successful career in the freelance pathway.

If you have any questions about this topic, please not hesitate to ask me in the comment space. I’m very happy to have some feedbacks and sharing. Let’s freelance wisely and successfully!
