Disadvantages of Freelancing.

Where there's a good, there's usually a bad. Here are some disadvantages to freelancing:

1.       Can take time to build clientele. Getting enough clients to make freelancing something that supports you and your family can take awhile.
2.       Work can be irregular. Many freelancers experience an ebb and flow in their work.
You need to plan for lean times, and be ready to work hard to deliver work on-time when work is plentiful. Managing multiple clients and projects can be a challenge. While some people like the variety of working on several projects at a time, others may find it difficult to keep track of deadlines and pace themselves to deliver quality work on time. Great time management systems and organization is key. Pay may be low to start out. Especially in today's digital economy, many people expect to pay less for work from a new freelancer. Breaking in with lower costs may be needed, but as quickly as possible, seek to charge what you are worth and find clients willing to pay for quality.
What's the Difference Between a Freelancer and Home-Based Service Business? There really isn't a difference. Both work as self-employed individuals and can work for several clients at a time. Both can set their own schedules and have to abide by the same self-employment tax rules. There are a few differences. A freelancer often works under his own name, where as a home business owner often creates a business name. Often a home business owner has found way to fill a gap in the market whereas a freelancer works within the established needs of the market. How to Get Started as a Freelancer Getting started is as easy as visiting one of the freelance sites to find work and networking with your current sphere of influence to find your first client.
