How To Quit Your Job And Become A Freelancer

The text says that the need for a salary keeps many people in employment, but that working as a freelancer can bring more happiness, freedom, and prosperity. For that, it recommends choosing an activity you like, thinking about how to be paid by multiple clients, putting together a business plan, and launching a website to show what you do.

It also suggests that the website be simple and cheap to create, with a responsive layout for computer and mobile phone. For a freelancer website, it indicates about five pages, including About, Services, Portfolio, Testimonials and Contact Form. If there is still no material, the text proposes doing free work to get samples and testimonials. In the end, it presents two ways to move into freelancing: resigning for good or building the business at night and on weekends.
