In the modern world there are many people interested in Freelancing as compared to older times. At the same time there are many misconceptions associated with freelancing. But if you are really serious about it you can earn much more than working for somebody else, that also with a relaxed mind. The following are a few tips for a successful freelancing career.
- Segregate between work and home: - Creating the right kind of working atmosphere is needed for doing any kind of work. A separate office or studio space outside home would be ideal. Otherwise at least have a home office with a door you can close.
- Dress formally: - Even if you are working from home, dressing up formally gives you the right mind set and mood to work. Hence dress like you are going to the office.
- Maintain normal business hours:- Freelancing gives you extra time definitely by cutting down the time taken for travel. But it would be better to keep relatively normal business hours for efficient working.
- Avoid distractions:- As you work from your home without any body to supervise, temptations will be there to go for a movie or watch Television. Another factor that can distract you is the house hold chores like laundry, cleaning etc. But you can afford to have a nap in the afternoon, which will revitalize you and motivate you to work harder.
- Pamper yourself once in a while:- At times freelance writing life can be isolating. Setting time for socializing will really help the writer to overcome loneliness. You can go out for a lunch with clients or fellow freelancers.
