What I learned from 2 years of freelancing 🤫💰

Ah freelancing, the dream of working from anywhere in the world, being your own boss, and making a ton of money. It’s a life numerous people dream of. I started freelancing in May 2021 & never looked back.

In one year, I became one of the top 3% of freelancers on the planet (as a Top Rated Plus Freelancer on Upwork) & I have already gone through the highest of highs & lowest of lows of freelancing.

Let’s discuss some of the pros & cons of freelancing I found out the hard way.

Pros

Let’s start off with the mindblowing pros that come with freelancing!

1. Money, money & some more money

If you DON’T reside in one of the developed countries, you are in for an incredible surprise my friend, as you can make a ton of money relatively easily by freelancing!

Of course, you need to have the skills to justify what you charge, but due to geographical arbitrage (a fancy term for earning in a strong currency & spending in a weak currency), you can make a lot of money.
