Millions of people are self-employed in the UK, and freelancers make up a large portion. To become a freelancer, you need to find a particular skill that you excel at. It could be writing, social media management, graphic design or something else entirely. Find your skill and launch your very own empire with it.

Like with any career, there are pros and cons to being a freelancer. You will have more flexibility with your time and work but less financial security. Many people think it’s complicated to become a freelancer. For example, if you want to be a freelance taxi driver, you just need a license and a car.

 

Here are a few steps you take to become a freelancer

Do your research

You need to assess your current job, lifestyle, salary and priorities. If you earn a good wage and enjoy your job, it might not be the right time to freelance. Self-employment can be unpredictable, and you need to prepare for the financial instability that comes with it. You should have savings to cope with the transition and an emergency fund just in case things go wrong. Do your research and make sure freelancing is the best route for you.

Clarify your job description

You need to clarify what exactly you want to do and sell to people or businesses. For example, if you enjoy social media management – you need to find your niche within that sector. You might specialise in growing small business accounts, creating videos for Tik Tok or managing numerous platforms at once. Find your speciality and advertise it to your potential clients.

Find your clients

You need to find opportunities and contact clients as soon as possible. Reach out to the contacts you already have and offer your services along with your portfolio. You could set up a social media platform to advertise your business and connect with other freelancers in the industry. Get your name out there and utilise LinkedIn to network with business owners in different industries. Stay on top of your emails and messages, and connect with potential clients. Once you have found your client base, you can develop your portfolio and improve your service.

Manage your income

As a freelancer, you are responsible for your finances and salary. You don’t get paid the same amount every month. It’s up to you to find work every month and make sure you get paid on time. You need to learn to file invoices and chase businesses up for missed payments.

 

Freelancing can transform your life and help you to achieve your career goals.
