    Should You Go Freelance in 2021?

    Whether your job was cut, your company moved online, or you're looking to finally make the leap from full-time employee to freelancer, you might be asking yourself: Is freelancing smart during a pandemic? 

    There are definitely benefits to self-employment. Beyond more flexibility in your schedule and certain tax benefits, you might even find that you're able to make more income than when you were a salaried employee. But self-employment has its drawbacks, too. Given the state of the economy, you should consider them before going freelance in 2021?

    In this episode, we'll talk about the highest in-demand industries for freelancers in 2021, the pro's and con's of going freelance now, and even where to start looking for clients.
