How Many Hours Do You Need To Put In As A Freelancer by Folasadepitan(f): 10:19am On Aug 26, 2022 |
I understand as a student or a 9-5 worker, you have so many things demanding your time and most times when you get back home at night, you are exhausted. So how can you as a highly paid freelancer, juggle work/school and your freelancing business? Let's explore, shall we? Actually, it depends on you. How many hours can you spare in a day? Or should I say, how many hours can you CONSISTENTLY spare in a day? You can decide to dedicate two hours daily, especially as a beginner who needs to learn certain skills. For two hours daily, you won't take on hourly jobs. Rather, you will take projects for which you will be paid around 100 dollars. Of course, You will get to set your own time. This works even better if you are 9;5 worker With time, you will be able to quit your job and focus on freelancing full-time, if you want to. The ultimate goal is freedom. In a nutshell, you don’t need 24hrs of your time to be a freelancer. Two hours per day will suffice. What is most important is CONSISTENCY 1 Like

But it's those hourly jobs that it's easy to get as a beginner. See nothing is free every endeavour requires significant investment in a generator continuous internet and money to keep body and soul together during the transition (learning) period. The more of this infacstrutures u HV available to u the more likely u can make it. So money is needed |

SimplePlan34: That is why you have to start with the hourly jobs first before you are able to quit your 9-5 job & focus on your freelancing. Besides, life is not as hard as you think. There are people who have gone before you & have a blueprint that they followed. You don't have do it on your own. This is the era of LEVERAGING. So, leverage and make things easier for yourself. |

Folasadepitan: Hourly jobs are actually more difficult to combine with a Nigerian 9-5. Except it 3-4 hrs in a day. You go to work in the morning and get home by 10pm. What time within the day do you dedicate to this client that most likely needs your services within his/her own business hours? I think projects that work with milestones are better for someone doing a 9-5. I say this based on experience. |
