10 best freelancing ideas to work from home and make money online
What is freelancing? A form of self-employment, freelancers lend their skills and talents to a number of clients on a flexible basis. They aren't employed by a company or committed to a single customer - freelancers have the freedom to choose the projects they'd like to work on and the clients they'd like to work for.
Freelancing vs contract work
So, what's the difference between freelancing and contract work?
Dave outlines how freelancers and contractors are self-employed workers who provide services and carry out projects for clients.
'Contractors tend to work on fixed-term contracts for end clients and are usually based on the client sites. Many of them are sourced via recruitment agencies although some will work directly for the end-hirers. They almost always work via their own limited companies,' he explains. Contractors tend to work in sectors such IT or engineering, social work, finance and health and education.
'Freelancers on the other hand tend to work for multiple clients at any one time and often work from their own home or office space. It is less common for freelancers to work full-time from a client site. Freelancing is a popular way of working for those in the creative industries, such as designers, photographers or marketing professionals. Freelancers can either be sole traders or work through their own limited companies,' says Dave.
'Neither benefit from employment rights from the clients they work with, and both are responsible for managing their business administration and taxes.'
