Freelancing could be the way forward for thousands of Americans. Here are some points to consider

TLDR: Want to work doing what you love as a freelance professional? The Kickstart Your Freelance Career Course Bundle has some ideas for making that happen.

If your time at home the past 10 weeks or so has made you appreciate the idea of never fighting traffic or trudging into the office every again…you aren’t alone. This WFH era has started the wheels spinning for thousands of Americans about the type of day-to-day work life we’d each enjoy.

Of course, most freelancers have been big fans of the remote work model for years. In fact, 70 percent of independent freelancers say they’re highly satisfied in their work, a marked improvement over the 54 percent mark when you ask that same question of all American workers.

But it isn’t all lounging around and watching paychecks roll in. With the training in the Kickstart Your Freelance Career Course Bundle ($29.99, over 90 percent off from TNW Deals), you’ll learn everything you need to know to stop working for The Man and start working for yourself.
