I realized that Palki’s English, which has Indian accent, is easy on my ears than the standard American/British English. There are no nasal sounds, no twisting of tongue when saying words containing ‘r’ sound, no unnecessary change in stress between syllables within the same word etc. What do you think?

[@victorvondoom2350]

Basically am a web developer and it took me years to get good at my craft but still freelance is another skill to learn , being a freelance means to have your own company or business .

[@crypton_8l87]

No.. to have your own company you have to set it up under the Companies Act of your country. As a "freelancer " you're a qualified professional - free to work for any company or organization. The only way to carry your work forward and make yourself known is to 1) incorporate all your past completed projects on your resumé, and put together a portfolio of your past work 2) get a few reference letters from past employers saying you've completed projects with them 3) build your detailed profile on important professional websites like LinkedIn and other social media sites and let the world know what you do. 4) actively scout for your next job before you've completed your previous job and let people in your industry know you're ready for your next gig.

The first gig may not come easily...(I sent out bids for 2 straight months before my first break of $50 job for a high-end legal service) BUT when You get going and You continually improve...folks will beg you to accept $500 - $750 jobs... If you're into Tech...(programming, C+, C++, Website building, front and back end and the sorts) If you are freaking good, it's almost like Narcotics money...

Becoming a billionaire isn't something one should strive for, given the astronomically low odds, because they face a life of disappointment. Additionally, most of the so-called self made billionaires are only self made in the sense that they didn't necessarily inherit a fortune to work with. However, they were still born in the upper-middle class and received top education, both at home from a young age as well as from attending prestigious universities, which gave them the connections they needed. Additionally, they never had to worry about trivial things such as "how am i going to pay my bills, rent and food without getting a job?", thus being able to invest as much time as they needed to succeed. With that said, they're all highly intelligent people (genetically gifted or just a result of being in the right environment from an early age), but that's only one of the check boxes from an entire manuscript required to get to that level, many of which are completely out of one's hand (life's randomness, RNG, right place right time, etc.).

Governments are aware of it but don't act because they too are part of the same ecosystem to allow the mafia to survive. For a lot of people so called gig economy doesn't work for long and they suffer. The economy and the money it gives is like drugs and sex that people get addicted to and cant survive for long.

Here's how I'd get into Freelance: 1. Gain as much skills that will make your life easier when you do start doing gigs. 2. Once you are 30 start doing gigs during long holidays ( usually getting the 1st client is the hardest part). Do this for the next 10 years. 3. At 40, assuming you have payed off all your loans and have a house that's truly yours and have additional income streams ( cuz you should) quit the full time and do the gigs from then on, since you would have a decent completion rate by then because u have been doing gigs since the past 10 years, you can basically ask more per hour and you would still get the gig. Now the whole thing could be done sooner asuming you already have a achieved getting a house and enough for your children's education.

Excellent Video. I have been a freelancer since one year and as per my experience freelancing has more pros than cons. It's all about delivering high-quality service and finding high-paying clients. Believe me, my clients from USA are the best as they value my work by offering me extra money in the form of a tip. Americans Rock!

Love this 💕,this year am quitting my job, because I have acquired best skills in programming hence the pay I get is not worth the skills I have .

[@uniqualessolutions2024]

Freelancing is flexible and gives lot opportunities but you have to continuously moving upgrading skills can't really settle for ordinary

[@loveall7810]

Useful for people who like flexibility over stability. Skill in a particular area is a must. Certain amount of appetite for risk-taking required. Financial planning for building a corpus for purchases involving capital outlays and also for ensuring financial security after retirement are other requirements. It provides ample rewards, no doubt. Once again a good contemporary topic and a Good analysis. Wish you All the best

[@mohitsihag1]

thanks for such great journalism

[@sreetamadutt]

Being a freelancer, this was refreshing to watch :) And yes, it is not only GenZ who are keen on taking the Gig Economy. My father was the one who prompted me to take this up, and despite all risks, I would still prefer this career :)

[@rhushsnr]

Palki is looking gorgeous tonight 😊

It is surprising how many humans do not feel they have the divine right to experience an abundant life. This is so sad, when you consider that true abundance isn't something bought, or given, it is something that is shared. Till at last we rise forever in the arms of perfect love.
