Could you be a creative freelancer?

Freelancers are self-employed professionals who work in a range of professions from writers, filmmakers, and photographers to designers and artists. For many, freelancing is a full-time business, but for others, it’s about turning your creative passion into a side hustle, earning extra money alongside a day job or studies. Freelancing has become the norm in many industries, offering individuals the flexibility to shape their careers outside of a corporate setting. So, if you’re interested in being your own boss, our Go Freelance series could be for you! 

Run by creative freelancers with valuable real-life lessons to share with you, we’ll help you answer key questions:  

·        Is freelancing for me?   

·        How do I find my first freelance clients? 

·        How do I set prices and get paid?  

·        What makes a standout freelance profile or portfolio?  

·        How can I overcome common freelancing challenges and succeed?
