The biggest advantage of freelancing is that you are your own boss here. You decide for yourself who you will work with or how much you will work with. There is no duty from 10 am to 5 pm, there is no rush to the office every day, no overtime work to satisfy the boss.

How to start working as a new freelancer,
The popularity of freelancing is increasing in our country as well as all over the world. According to a report published by PayPal in early 2016, the average annual income of freelancers in India is around Rs 20 lakh and 23 percent of the freelancers participating in their survey have an annual income of Rs 40 to 45 lakh. It is estimated that by 2025, the market size of Indian freelancers will be between 2,000 billion to 3,000 billion.
But while seemingly simple and quite tempting, freelancing, like the other five businesses, has its own challenges, as well as uncertainties. However, the above statistics show that once the business is up and running, it is possible to easily earn more than many other full-time jobs in freelancing, sitting at home.
How to start working as a new freelancer, or how to move your business forward successfully? Here is a complete guide. Learn how to build your freelancing career step by step.
The first step in starting a freelancing career is to properly identify the areas of your skills. Your skills are your capital in this business, so having the right skills and training is the primary condition for success. The areas where freelancers are most in-demand are-
• Graphic designing
• Web development
• App development
• Content Writing
• Translation
• Virtual Assistance
• Data entry
• Accounting and finance support
• Writing press releases and scripts
• Video editing
It is possible to earn income only if you have the ability to meet the market demand. So after identifying the field or areas of skill, you need to understand if you are solving any problem with that skill, i.e. whether there is a suitable market for your skill. Whether companies hire freelancers based on these skills. No matter how skilled you are at a subject, you will never succeed if there is no demand in the market. As a result, your overall business plan will depend on the market.
After identifying your areas of expertise, try looking at different projects based on those skills to see if your skills and experience are sufficient to complete those projects, if you think you need to learn more freelancing work then take training.
