1. Promoting your own self

As a freelancer you will have to market and promote yourself. Business can flow in from any avenue; hence, you will have to publicise your intent in front of family, friends, neighbours, or even an occasional stranger on the bus.

2. The occasional “freak outs”

Panic attacks are highly common when working freelance. There will come a time when you might find yourself hard-pressed for work. Irrespective of the industry, every freelancer hits a dry patch with no work coming through the door.

3. The solitude

Working from home can get very lonesome, emotionally. Physically you can listen to music while working, or chat with your friend’s side-by-side. But in your mind you need to understand that freelance work is your own personal investment.

4. Taking responsibility

As a freelancer you are the only one who is accountable for a failure or a success. You have no boss so you are free to choose any assignment and deliver the same according to your convenience.

5. All that downtime

With freelance work you will have a lot of free time at your disposal. Every meeting, every assignment will be scheduled by you. There are no presentations or reports to be given.
