How to Embrace the ‘Gig Economy’ and Become a Freelancer

Even with the recent happenings in the world with regards to remaining at home, the so-called ‘gig-economy’ is booming, with many individuals choosing freelance careers or entrepreneurial pursuits over the traditional employment route. There are some great opportunities when it comes to freelancing, but how exactly do you get involved in the world of self-employment?

What are you offering?

Firstly, while we all want to call ourselves businessmen or entrepreneurs, the reality is that you have to have something to offer. What are your core skills? Do you have qualifications in any areas? Do you want to sell something? And most importantly, can you offer your skills or knowledge remotely? Once you know what your value proposition is, you can begin to establish what service or product you’ll be providing.

Getting yourself ‘out there’

Of course, in order to promote yourself, your business, or what product you’re selling, you’ll need a platform to do so. While you can advertise your business on social media, having your own website is the key to showcasing professionalism. What do you need to get things off the ground, though?
