>>7187119Ah I l-lived like that for a while. Here, l-let me show you what I did. But first, h-here is upwork:
https://www.upwork.com/ I got a lot of good jobs and parlayed it into a full career from t-there, good resource.
So, the problem is that all freelance work is like that. It's on demand; if the work doesn't come in, it doesn't come in. The goal should always be to get from 1099 freelance work to W-2 salaried or hourly work. In general, you want to do that by applying for big projects and delivering good value consistently, usually on a weekly basis. Generally people don't want to hire because they have no idea how you will perform 6 months out; look for 1099 freelance work that could be parlayed into a better or more steady job. Work for things that are hourly, not projects, stuff like that.
Let's see. What's some good advice for a freelancer from a freelancer....I think the biggest problem is that I spent around 50% of my time looking for new jobs, submitting resumes, etc etc. I wouldn't grab a random job; your last three jobs decide your next three. I would try to find things in your industry that you can parley into work, and if you have down time, build a portfolio or work on independent work so that you've got a good amount of stuff to show.
Then get on linked in and start applying for wage based steady jobs based on your current resume. Aim high; I got a really good financial engineering job out of almost no where. It works, just keep at it.
