Freelancing

Freelancing roughly means going off on your own to offer a product or service of some kind, typically in a one-off relationship to clients. This could be branding services like logo design, building websites for clients, writing articles for other blogs, offering technical support, repairing things, consulting, editing, copywriting, child or pet care, language translation, audio or video transcription, and many more.

Because you are working for yourself, your freelance offerings can be whatever you choose. Consider your skills and interests, and then think about how you could market your skills to people who might benefit from them. This is a flexible professional path as you have the ability to change your offerings and dictate your terms. Many freelancing jobs can be done from anywhere, while some require a more fixed location.

Due to the vast range of freelancing gigs and roles, we cannot possibly cover everything on this page, but we’ve included some general resources as well as a few that are more specific to certain niches. We will continue to expand this in the future.

What We Can Say

Have you ever asked a friend for their opinion on a legal, financial, or medical topic?

This is… somewhat like that.

We are not lawyers, doctors, or certified accountants, so we cannot give you legal, financial, or medical advice.

What we CAN give you is a carefully selected list of resources for finding those types of professional services along with many others. We can also provide our thoughts and insights on a wide range of topics related to businesses, nonprofits, personal growth, web design, and more – based on our experience.

Why We Can’t Guarantee

We cannot make any guarantees as to the results you may achieve through the products and services we recommend for the simple reason that we don’t know you!

Your results will vary and depend on many factors, including but not limited to your background, experience, and work ethic.

THE most important note – nothing that we promote or encourage on this site is a get-rich-quick scheme – can we all agree that success does not happen overnight? It doesn’t!

We believe it takes hard work, consistent effort, personal and professional growth, and compliance with legal and ethical practices in order to start and grow any source of income.

Please remember that all business entails risk as well as consistent effort and action.

How We Make Money

We cannot do this for free – but it won’t cost you extra either!

Some of the products and services we list on this site pay us a commission when someone signs up. Don’t worry – this does not cost you any extra, and we only include products and services we truly believe in.

Our mission is to help you get your business or nonprofit started and successful as quickly as possible, which is going to require various products and services along the way. We have curated this resource section to provide you with what we’ve found to be the best out there, though we may not be able to include every possible option here. In order to keep our site running and continue to offer guidance and resources to anyone seeking assistance, we partner with various businesses that we love and trust.
