Why is freelancing hard profession?
This is just my opinion on this theme so you can disagree with that it will be ok. Why is freelancing hard profession?
For me, it's a couple of the reason, of course, it's great opportunity to realize your self, be your own boss. Difficult become then you start looking for the new customers here you should be careful with the prices I mean all of us looking to buy cheaper and sell at a higher rate. It's human nature. But when you start with fixed project clients almost required corrections from you and no matters how much time it will take for you.
You always need to promote your self because it depends on how much money you will earn. If you will be doing nothing just wait for some costumer from the sky you will earn nothing. So you need to know how to promote your self.
You need to know how to control your time because it's very important for your earnings online. If you will be putting work off for later, of course, you will earn not much money as you expect.
If you wanna be the designer I think you will collide with this time management, promoting your self, finding customers and other stuff, but this way I like. I hope you like it ;)
