As of 2012: 68% of the freelancers who participated in the following 24SevenTalent.com survey were women, with the remaining 32% being males.
As a freelancer, I can tell you that a lot of the information displayed is very true!
It’s no surprise that most of us choose freelancing due to our desire for more freedom and flexibility.
However, if you’re considering striking out on your own, please see “The Top 3 Issues Keeping Freelancers Up At Night” before proceeding:
- #2 can be very stressful and it’s hard to get that rock out of your stomach when the need for sleep overrides your need to pay the bills and make anxious clients happy. This, by the way, is only an issue if you’ve become semi-successful and have enough clients to keep you busy!
- #3 is a total nightmare! In my case, I find it’s often a case of a client giving “too much detail” or “not enough”. Why, oh why can’t you give me just what I need Mr./Ms. Jorgensen? This insomnia-inducing issue can also result from your brain just not working the way you want it too.
