Freelancer - Independent Flexible Career

Freelance - A writer or artist who sells services to different employers without a long-term contract with any of them. Work independently and on temporary contracts rather than for a long-term employer.

Freelancers: Travelers, writers, photographers, designers, dancers, model coordinators, artists of all sorts, musicians, voice over artists, are just some of the freelancers already working the various industries. The difference between a freelancer and an organisation is that the freelancer is a one-man or woman business and production team. Many individuals take up freelance for the extra money whereas there are those who depend solely on their freelance earnings. A good way to start is by trying some freelance in your free time or time outside work.
