What Freelancing Is and How It Works

Freelancing is a business model where you sell your skills and time directly to clients instead of working as an employee. In this lesson, you will learn what makes freelance work different from a job, the main types of freelance arrangements, and how client relationships usually work from first contact to completed delivery.

You will also see how freelancers create value by solving specific problems, why clear expectations matter, and which parts of freelancing will be covered in later lessons, such as pricing, finding clients, contracts, and project delivery.
