WILL FREELANCE WORK TAKE OVER THE WORLD? How to Start Your Side Hustle

TOOLS Every business needs marketing and sales to grow. Your side hustle is no different. It takes an active focus on best practices to find not just any client, but the right client. While sites like Fiverr, Upwork, and TaskRabbit can provide excellent avenues for you to contract work, you need to establish a client base of your own in order to be an effective freelancer. The only way to do this is by promoting yourself using marketing tools like social media, email, mailers, event promotions, and postings. PASSION There will be times when your freelance work feels like more than you can handle. When that happens, only your passion will get you through. Don’t take work you aren’t especially excited about.

Many independent workers who have children or are involved in active social groups can find it challenging to prioritize freelance work. Try treating your personal projects like your job. When you arrive home, approach your freelance work as if it is your business — because it is.
