FREELANCE DIGITAL MARKETER
In 2021, how did I get started as a freelance digital marketer?
Initially, becoming a freelance digital marketer was not my aim. I began my professional career as an executive in a well-known IT firm. After three years with that firm, I relocated to Chandigarh and started a new job.
The new business used to specialize in digital marketing and web development. As an SEO specialist, I was hired. I got a lot of knowledge and expertise in Search Engine Optimization after working for this firm for 6 years (SEO).
While working for this firm, I began to realize how exhausting a nine-to-seven job can be. I used to live a long way away from my family. There was always the ache of not spending enough time with them. With the passage of time, though, the work began to tire me. At this time, I began exploring a different professional path. As a result, a number of my former coworkers had established themselves as freelancers. As a result, I chose to work as a freelancer.
What Motivated Me to Begin Working as a Freelance Digital Marketer?
The CoronaVirus strikes the entire planet. The virus spread so quickly that several governments were forced to implement a lockdown. The government of India has also declared a state of emergency. I lost my job as a result of the Covid-19 shutdown.
Despite quitting my work, I had no difficulty earning money to support myself. I receive frequent freelance assignments through Upwork. I worked as a full-time freelancer during the epidemic. Then it occurred to me that working as a freelancer is preferable to working for a business. I am able to adjust my workload according to my timetable. Furthermore, I meet new individuals from other nations through a virtual platform.
I created my website to give digital marketing services to individuals all around the world after working on Upwork for more than 9 months. Freelancers can obtain more premium clients by having a website. More projects may be found here. As a result, the income potential will expand.
What is the Difference Working as a Freelance Digital Marketer Made in My Life?
I lost my job after Covid-19. However, I had intended to leave my job and work as a freelancer for an extended period of time. As a result, leaving my work was not a major setback for me. However, at the outset, losing a consistent source of monthly money was a concern. As a freelance digital marketer, I began my career on Upwork. I've worked as a digital marketing specialist for the past six years. Working as a freelance digital marketer was, in reality, not difficult for me.
After finishing the first assignment on Upwork, I began to receive regular employment. It was reassuring for me to complete the first job effectively and receive favorable comments from the client. It greatly improved my self-assurance. I concluded after two months that working as a freelancer is more gratifying.
Why is there such a high demand for freelancers?
For a variety of reasons, the need for skilled freelancers is increasing. Many competent individuals, on the other hand, prefer to work as freelancers rather than working a nine-to-five job. Service at a low cost, virtual communication made simple, personalized services, contracts are easier to create.
It's simple to work with a freelancer. Furthermore, employers are not required to create agreements or contracts. In this sense, freelancing platforms provide all of the required features. Following the freelancing websites' procedures will help to preserve transparency between the freelancer and the employer.
Working as a freelancer has become a convenient option for people all over the world for all of these reasons. You may begin your freelancing career at any moment. Many freelancers have full-time employment in addition to their freelance business. You have complete control over your working schedule.
