PROS

  1. Freelancing offers a much more flexible lifestyle, letting you choose when and where you work.
  2. You control your own workload, with the freedom to pursue the projects you really want.
  3. There’s no limit on your earning potential, so you could make a lot more money.
  4. You can branch out into new  creative areas without going through the whole rigmarole of changing jobs.

 

CONS

  1. Nobody pays for equipment, software or days off, and you won’t have any company perks.
  2. Freelancing can be lonely – you might miss the support  and camaraderie of working in a team.
  3. There’s no guarantee you’ll get work or make money, so you could find your cash flow dries up.
  4. Working alone means being responsible for every decision and having to learn from your mistakes.
