Great talk! The 2 things she mentioned for being a successful freelancer are very very important:
1. Be very strict on following deadlines and submitting best-quality work
2. Get out of the employee mindset. Start putting your best foot forward and market your strengths confidently.
Are you a freelancer?
Thanks for the recap
Have you already tried Insolvo?
After being an educator for over 37 years, I sadly support your decision to move on to a different path.
Have you dabbled in freelancing?
As a newbie freelancer myself, kicked to the curb in my early 60's with my corporate tech job being outsourced, you are an inspiration! Thank you!
How's the freelancing going?
@@PaulVazquezJD He can't reply since he doesn't have electricity anymore.
Powerhouse talk. Special Educator for 18 years. Great confidence! I'm following you. My side hustle as a Freelance Writer is paying off my debt. Now I'm pulling in solid 4 figure monthly while I'm still teaching. I'm opening My Freelance writing business called Beacon of Light Writes Services: Ghostwriter, Developmental Editor, and Writing Coach. I'm going Pro in 2020! BAM! Your direction has given me this opportunity.
Waouw ! That’s my dream : teaching + freelancing

Freelancing is the future.
Indeed it is my channel is dedicated to freelancing tips
@@ProgressisEverything Subbed.
Iman, Do you freelance?
@@PaulVazquezJD yes, on Upwork
@@imanzade3180 How is Upwork shaking out for you?
I’m so glad I ran across this video. I am also a military spouse and it is so frustrating to have to find work every time we move, and I’m not always successful finding it. I feel discouraged about freelancing, but I’ve heard of the “imposter syndrome” and I know I can break through that if I try hard enough.
Thanks for educating me.
This is a great idea and so many can benefit from working independently! thank you.
Great talk. Thank you for your ideas!
I also started as a teacher. It was so draining that I started to look for remote work as an ESL teacher. But that required so much effort. In the end, I changed my profession and started learning digital marketing. I could never be happier than now. I am really successful now and this is just the beginning. I've learned so much from freelancing that now I've decided to share my experience with everyone who wants to start their freelancing career.
Freelancing Tips from Sirarpi can you help me to begin ?
@@ayahshalabi7745 Sure. I have uploaded videos in my channel, I advise you to check them out and let me know if you have any more questions
I just subbed to your channel.
@@PaulVazquezJD Thanks ^_^
Great talk . Thanks for sharing.
Wow, this was a great video, thank you Laura for sharing this powerful message about the future and freelancing. Freelancing is not only the future, but is very important to the way the economy is adapting and earning money, and the way businesses can adapt during times of uncertainty. Freelancing provides security, more abundant opportunities, and benefits over any other traditional job can even offer. This is why so many are shifting to freelancing part-time, or full-time as we speak. As a result of more companies hiring digitally and more people choosing to freelance, this has made the demand for freelancing skills go up. Now is the time to start freelancing part-time or consider making it your full-time career because the workforce is going to rapidly shift more and more into the digital workspace.
Great talk . Thanks for sharing
This is where the wind is blowing! Freedom in the modern world.
Very clear explanation. Thank you for the inspiration!
Wow! Very uplifting video, crazy story and alot of great info that i had no idea. I would to live somewhere else and still make money!
Well done, Laura.
very inspirational and motivated video for upcoming freelancers.
Hey
Great video. Provided me with a lot of insight into the world of freelancing. I am currently working on my journey towards becoming a freelancer. Thank you for this one. This particular video helped motivate me even more.
Awesome, I am so happy to hear this!
What’s the first step to become a freelancer? Is free lancing basically where you work your own hours, get paid high like $70,000 a year and still live the life you want
How's your freelance journey?
Thank you for this talk! I became a freelancer and have no regrets.
What kind of work do you do?
@@PaulVazquezJD I am a freelance translator.
@@olavonogueira8944 Are you on Gigesy or ifreelanced?
Legally setting up your business and running it legally is less understood by many but is crucial to success.
Talk is worthy 💥
I've always thought it was a great way to work. Hopefully one day I can earn enough monthly as a freelancer too! Great TED Talk.
are you earning rn?
How do you find clients?
Have you already tried Insolvo?
I love freelancing 🥰 Very inspiring speech 💥👍
I couldn’t agree more with your message, although I think it is a combination of micro-businesses and freelancers that will drive the next era of our economy. I am seeing a massive exodus from the workplace and many of these micro-businesses are indeed hiring freelancers to do the work that they need but doesn’t require a full-time hire. Keep up spreading the message!!!
Agree
Have you already tried Insolvo?
Agreed I have an upcoming video all about this
The future is NOW! Such an amazing talk. Thank you Laura for sharing your freelance experience. Freelancing is not for "out of work" creatives. :)
Lol, yea there is a fine line between "self employed" and "unemployed"
Awesome video
Freelance is my world
"Welcome to a gig economy"
Do you participate?
Excellent video Laura. I have been a freelancer for about 20 years but would like to learn the writing business. Thanks for the chance. :)
What skills are you currently using as a freelancer?
May I ask you questions about becoming a freelancer?
This video has convinced me that freelance is viable.
This was great! I’m trying! I’m so burnt out that my energy is almost gone at the end of each day.
Thank you for being an inspiration. Great explanation of today's freelance community.
Are you part of the freelancing community?
The best new sites for freelanced work is ifreelanced for high ticket items and Gigesy for low ticket items. I would recommend gigesy for beginners as the fee structure and site uses are simpler. Gigesy even has a free affiliate program built in so even without a skill you can sell the skills of others.
FUTURE IS HERE👍👍👍
you are also here
Future is for one who digitally skilled
Are there any recommended courses for freelancing. Just for a kickstart
great
very sustainable for the corporate giants, not so much for individual freelancers and gig workers?
Hi, i need a freelance job in order to gain work experience, any entry-level jobs for me that require no work experience?
What percentage of free lancers make how much $ per year?...Do you profit from this?
interesting
Mr Robot will save us !

lol at "finally freelancing was paying me more than the job I took at an insurance agency to make ends meet" AKA "I'm just waiting tables until this acting thing really gets off the ground"
5 months after this video: first case of the c00f
WOAH! _It's almost like she predicted the future?!?!?_
I love being a freelance dumpster diver
Freelancing is not the future, working from home is, and they are different
ABSOLUTELY OK FOR ME IAM THE END ENOCH YOU WANT
if i am in front of the client or in their office and you are phoning it in from kuala lampur or wherever.. i will beat you.. every time. so when the time comes for renewing contracts, or layoffs and they know me ..unless you are several times cheaper ..I will win. every time. ..her ideas only work in a world like covid where there is a severe shortage of workers.
Please must reply

Why does this sound like an infomercial? What percentage of your business is wannabe freelancers paying you a fee? Facebook ad strategist friend figuring out how to lure people out of their real life into Facebook advertisers' manipulative strategies to increase their profits at the expense of users' real lives
just another "lucky" success stories, once you join you will know how much scammer is there to scam you. Anyway op for fulltime job.
yeah freelancing sounds great until you realize your employer is off the hook for covering your health care, pension, and you have to hire someone to help you with your independent contractor taxes. It's a scam for employers to keep wages low and exploit a never ending pool of desperate people looking for stable work.
It's not a scam because you're in complete control of your labour price. You should be setting your rates at a level that covers your expenses and lets you live comfortably....
