Freelance work refers to a type of employment where individuals offer their services to clients on a project or contract basis, rather than being permanently employed by a single company. Freelancers can work in various fields, including writing, graphic design, programming, and consulting. They often have the flexibility to choose their clients, set their own rates, and determine their work hours. Many freelancers use online platforms, such as Upwork or Fiverr, to find job opportunities and connect with potential clients. This mode of work allows for greater independence and can be appealing for those seeking a better work-life balance or the ability to pursue multiple projects simultaneously.
