3.
Everyone has skills that someone else is looking for. What
are your core skills around which your freelance services
are based?
Well! My core skills are Content Writing and Web development. Got two-month
hands on training on two earning websites. So running both of them side by side.
And I’m earning a handsome amount. And with steady growth rate learning to
earn through freelancing.
4. How easy is it for you to manage a regular flow of work?
Does it sometimes feel like feast or famine?
Well! The initial part was not easy at all after taking the sessions. I was really
motivated to find some work online and start earning online for that matter I had
to put in a lot effort at times,
I don’t expect to have a regular flow of work with my kind of freelancing. I
usually work on single book projects. I’m often asked to do rush jobs or to ‘pick
up the pieces’, and they drop in to my in-box with very little notice Work is like
busses – none for ages then three come along at once. So I do the work when it’s

2. there, even if it means working weekends and evenings because I know there
will be a quite patch around the corner. I know that strategy isn’t everyone’s cup
of tea, but it works for me at the moment.
5.
Has the fear of not being asked again by a particular client
ever made you say yes to work where you wished you
hadn’t?
Not so far. I have had clients I’d think twice about working for
again though.
6. I’m sure that will resonate with others. How do you manage
to keep a good work/ life balance?
Well! Being an MBA graduate & being a part of something where I
could have excel in my skills; think to utilize my education on this
platform. Punctuality is my core hobby, to meet deadline specially.
Do work efficiently and effectively, 100 % copy scape.
Professionalism is in my life, like to organize and plan task &
complete them on time. So I love to work. It’s a life style one can
have. So this is not tough for me to manage both parallel.
7. How do you find work? To what extent do you try and
generate leads yourself?
Most of my work comes from existing clients and by seeing my up
to the mark gigs, which I’m offering for my services. But if I do get
a quite period I look at who’s hiring and who uses freelancers and I
will write on spec and ask around.
8. How do you manage to keep up with new technological
developments relevant to your specialist area?
I read the trade press and follow people in my field on social media. And I’m
always learning new ways of grabbing knowledge. I have a subscription to
Udemy.com, Lynda.com, which is an amazing video learning source. If I go
through quiet spell I use it to brush up or learn something new.

3. 9. What’s your advice to someone who’s just starting her
freelance journey?
Think the pros and cons over carefully. Freelancing works well for
me, but it isn’t for everyone. You might be able to make the switch
gradually – perhaps going part time for a while. When you are used
to a regular salary it can be difficult making the transition to
freelance hours and payment and being responsible for your own
finances and accounts. Try to have some start-up money to tide
you over until you start to get paid. There can be a lot of freedom
and flexibility, but you are also very much on your own. Think
about whether you would miss the office environment.
