Gone are the days, where the only way to get "ahead" was to work an 80-hour workweek at an inflexible in-house job.The more society comes to terms with this fact, the more you can expect the freelancing industry to boom-especially amidst Millennials and Gen Z'ers. Don't just take our word for it. A recent report concludes that these days, as many freelancers view freelancing as "long term" as they do "temporary," it's a dead 50/50 split. That's a massive shift in attitude. Just a few years prior, most freelancers viewed freelancing as a temporary gig.This is one of the many reasons why freelancing is fastly approaching a near-on $1 trillion contribution to the US economy. That's almost "5% of the US GDP.” With all these impressive stats in mind, you might be wondering how to kickstart your own full-time freelance career?Never fear, Fiverr is here to help.
