I like being worked as freelance.... I am own boss dont have to think anyother thing. I have lots of options from webdesign to SEO, Data entry to graphic design....
But it aint good for long term work....
I am a freelancer and do put in alot of hours time and work.
Why do you feel that it is not a good long term work for someone?
I have enough work that keeps me busy everyday of the week. Even the weekends but I do not try to work them as I need a time from me and personal life.
After my husband died I was was able to do this type of work and now really like it. By doing this I am able to keep occupied and going.
I have quiet a few clients for repeat work and love it.
As you I am my own boss and like that. As I can work when I want to and most the time at the pace I want to depending on the project and when the client needs it.
