face steep startup costs.

8. The Disadvantages of
Freelancing
• Your clients have schedules,
too. Yes, you can set your own
hours for the most part, but if a
client can only see you at dawn
on Tuesday, you'll need to get up
with the crows. You likely will
need work within deadlines as
well.
• The work isn't always
consistent. This is particularly the
case if you're offering one-and-done
services, like creating a certain
product. You turn the finished
product over to your client, and
that's the end of it—you have to find
a new client who wants your product
so you can create another one and be
paid for it.

9. The Disadvantages of
Freelancing
• You probably won't be super-
successful overnight. Getting enough
clients to support yourself and your
family through freelancing can take a
while, and many freelancers
experience an ebb and flow in their
work. You'll have 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. Although
some people like the variety of
working on several projects at once,
others might find it difficult to keep
track of deadlines. You have to pace
yourself to produce and deliver
quality work on time. Great time
management systems and
organization are key.

10. The Disadvantages of
Freelancing
• You're in charge of all aspects of
your freelancing career including
invoicing, bookkeeping, marketing. In
essence, you need more skills than
just the ability to the work you're
freelancing. Unless you can hire
people to take care of these tasks,
you need to take care of them on top
of delivering your service.
• You'll have to pay for your own
benefits. You'll lose out on perks like
employer-sponsored healthcare and
retirement plans. Depending on the
work you do, there might be
professional associations that you can
join to get group health insurance
rates.
