I am a freelancer... I am still adjusting live of a Freelance. Work is lots of hardwork and sometimes you just keep on submitting Test Projects and not got paid... I am looking for more Freelance, online sites which offers more jobs, I am also a newbie, Writer/virtual assistant... I am still on finding a fast and stable job online. Is it really hard living a life of a Freelancer? or it is much harder than we think?

It's really hard to be freelances its better if you could look for a more stable job so that you could earn more money. Working online will not make you reach. They are just for extra income.

I have done some freelance work myself but I still depend on a regular job to make the payments...sometimes the pay when you freelance is few and far between. But it is fun being your own boss.....good luck!

Yes, at the beginning, it can be very difficult when you are starting out in freelance or contract work. However, as long as you provide excellent workmanship and built your reputation. However, it is hard worker compared being hired by a company. If you really like being on your own or going rogue and can be successful at, keep on trucking.

It is very hard to get started but well worth it if you can build a business. It takes time, perserverance and quality work. As your client roster builds it becomes easier and you will get referrals. If you love doing it, and don't mind the ups and downs at the beginning you will be fine. Good luck your endeavors.

Like any other jobs, it requires us patience, and the determination to have success in working on some certain jobs. Freelancing is not easy as they might assume because you are working online. but in reality, it is really a gamble like what i've experience before... you need to go dig deeper for a reliable freelancing job. I've been freelancing for months now and my first months working online was really difficult all you need to do is figure out yourself a reliable and reputable work.
