A freelancer,
freelance worker, or freelance writer is somebody who is self-employed and is
not committed to a particular employer long term. These workers are often
represented by a company or an agency that resells their labor and that of
others to its clients with or without project management and labor contributed
by its regular employees. Others are completely independent. 'Independentcontractor" would be the term used in a higher register of English.
In freelancing field
you write on common topics which include : music, journalism, publishing,
screenwriting, filmmaking, acting, photojournalism, cosmetics, fragrances,
editing, event planning, event management, copy editing, proofreading,
indexing, copywriting, computer programming, web design, graphic design,

and translating.
Freelance practice
varies greatly. Some require clients to sign written contracts, while others
may perform work based on verbal agreements, perhaps enforceable through the
very nature of the work. Some freelancers may provide written estimates of work
and request deposits from clients. The imaginative writer's purpose is always
one of the following: to paint a picture, to convey an idea, or to convey or awaken
a feeling.
The Internet has
opened up many freelance opportunities, expanded available markets, and has
contributed to service sector growth in many economies. This has spurred
conflict because American and European workers are not receiving the benefits.
The compromise has led to student freelancers who now provide a steady source
of cheap labor. At the same time, this increased enforcement is affecting
companies whose business models are based on using non-employee workers, as
well as independent professionals who have chosen to work as independent
contractors. For example, book publishing companies
It is important to
note that being a freelancer is not suitable to all people. Being a freelancer
requires discipline and self-motivation along with other easier to acquire
skills. If the freelancer works at home they are prone to additional stresses, that
if not managed properly. Freelancers often must handle contracts, legal issues,
accounting, marketing, and other business functions by themselves. If they do
choose to pay for professional services, they can sometimes turn into
significant out-of-pocket expenses. Working hours can extend beyond the
standard working day and working week
