So what does it take to be a successful freelancer? Explore the benefits and drawbacks of the gig economy.

I'm not unemployed, I'm a freelancer with really really flexible hours 😌.

It's as you said Ted Ed, freelancing is definitely a good support net for quick money. It's safe for part timers, but maybe not in the long run.

I think you need to distinguish between 'freelancing and 'gig economy' much more. Proper freelancing is amazing, incredible, and the best way to work if - and it's a huge 'if' - you're earning enough on average over the year, say. Gig economy is just working for an app but without usual employee benefits really.

As a freelancer artist, the most challenging thing isn't showing off skills that I have, it's finding people who are willing to pay me for my service.
Some people do not value my work and think that I have no cost [which I have equipment costs and electricity bills to pay, etc]
I meant if you're practicing something for decades to do a specific thing, and you think that came easily then imagine yourself reading a book, something that's not entertaining sometimes cause even artist has to practice a lot of things they're not good at so they can be good at them. do that minimum of 3 hours a day for more than 2 decades. if you can do that then you can tell me how easy it was.
What's important is
1. Skill
2. Marketing [which some people call them exposure, the more you have the more money you can charge}
3. Self-discipline, you don't have anyone to tell you when or where to work so you have to work on your own schedule meaning you have to plan everything accordingly and have enough discipline to go through with it.
The First 5 years might be difficult but the first 2 years for me were... horrifying and discouraging.
There's one word that I kept speaking in my head. Either I do this or I die. at least I die by my own choice and I won't regret it.
You might have to talk to your family about that as well as you won't get enough income to pay for your living hood so you might have to live with them for the time being as well.

I am a medical doctor. I left the traditional medical practice (mostly because it wasn't going to pay me an amount equivalent to the responsibility I'd have had). I am now a freelance medical editor. I live in Uganda and work for two freelancing companies: one in India and one in Australia. I love the flexibility of freelancing and I hope it works out for as long as it can. I have been a freelancer for 2 years now.

These videos are art: the sound, music narration, animation, visuals, aesthetics, and the content. Each Ted Ed has the potential to create a memorable and powerful experience. Thanks Ted Ed for the inspiration, personally, there is some videos that I will never forget.

Freelancing has been corrupted by corporations as a way to get away from having to pay benefits, avoid unions, and pass on much of the costs of doing business to the employee.
It's become a scam, and just a bad deal for those doing the work.
Normally in freelancing you get to set your price, but with many of these services in the digital age, that one benefit has been taken away.

Thank you TED-Ed for this! I have been thinking about freelancing but actually not sure if it's a right fit for me. With this vid I realized that your qualities, character, and skills play a significant role of whether to dive in to freelancing or not. It also depends on where you are in your life now and if freelancing or working for companies fit your goals.
To more informative videos! Kudos, TED-Ed! 🥂

The most difficult part is that one depends on others needing our skills/services, but when others charge less than oneself, the entire chain crumbles, I used to work as translator (Eng-Spa/Spa-Eng) with so many people charging so low rates, it is not as lucrative as it used to be 10 years ago

Do we have a choice

I've been working in the gig-economy for four years and cannot wait to get out. I was good in the beginning, till everyone started to do my job. The market is over-saturated with novices who have no idea what they are doing-do not understand the true cost of being a driver-will eventually do more harm to senior citizens who think it is a viable method to supplement their incomes and hurts those of us who made being a driver our profession. Finished my degree last December, but cannot start my company due to crippling vehicle repair costs.

Being freelancing is not easy. It requires skill and build a good reputation as well as building trust to clients

A lot of freelancing platforms lack empathy and flexibility and freelancers with really great talent are outcompeted by people who are willing to take low ball offers. I hope the new platform Knowists can help solve these pain points.

Interesting to know where the "freelancing" term came from, I had never pondered on it before!

Seeking happiness is such an abstract idea... you gotta seek balance and satisfaction

gig economy isn't freelancing, it is working for the app.

Freelancing as an obligation is a continue fight to get more works and being able to not being evicted or dieing of hunger. It's terrible, if you are able to choose, then you are already better than most people.

One thing that people are not factoring for is that because traditional employers are paying people so little that they cannot survive on just one job, many people are being forced to freelance on the side.
