for quite some time now. Be it working from the comfort of your home or

not being constantly pegged down by your bosses or being able to make

your own creative decisions – people get allured by the predominating

flexibilities that freelancing o�ers. Indeed, the apparent sense of freedom

is too di�cult to ignore! But having said that, there’s always an opposite side

of the coin! Let’s analyze those not-so-glorious sides of being a freelancer.

If you’re a freelancer, you might have already cast an impression of you being unemployed. Well, there’s a way of judging it yourself.

While you might be busy with some serious freelance assignment, have you ever been nagged into doing some otherwise-not-so-important household task? It would probably take another freelancer to understand what you’re doing.

INCOME

TIME

Like any other business, freelancing has its share of ups and downs. The monetary flow isn’t consistent. The wet land frequently sees famine.

But as a freelancer, be prepared to be away from the social buzz. You will be mostly working from home, and that too alone, without getting to mix with anyone.
