Why Freelance?

What our learners say:

“Having multiple clients allows me to diversify my income. As mass layoffs become common occurrence I prefer to have more control over my income and not put all of my eggs in one basket. When you have 4 clients and one doesn’t renew you lose 25% of your income. When you have a W2 you can lose 100% of your income overnight.”

“I’ve always enjoyed having a side hustle for extra cash. I used to dog sit, drive for DoorDash or even rent out a room in my house. When I landed my first freelance gig I didn’t have to do any of that anymore. My first client paid $70/hour and I made $1,400/month doing just 5 side hours a week for them. That’s over $16,000 a year and I can get most of the word done during my day job hours. I seriously can’t imagine going back now.”

“I’m a big fan of being smart with taxes. Now I get to write off a home office, office decor, computers, internet, cell phone bills, trips to industry events, course and program fees, certification costs and more! I’m freelancing full-time, but I will always keep one client on the side just to expense all the things I need to do my job and stay relevant in my profession.”

“My first gig was just 7 hours a month at $50 an hour building Salesforce monthly reports and dashboards. That may not sound like much but it allowed me to save a few dollars each month and that mattered a lot to my family.”
