Creative Freelancing introduces readers to various part-time and full-time freelance
opportunities, including: freelance writing; freelance graphic design; freelance
programming; freelance photography; and many other freelance opportunities.

With the rising cost of commodities, many people are forced to look for other ways
to earn money. Extra work is no longer an exception but a rule, especially in cities
where the cost of living can be high. Now, people hold two or three jobs just to pay
their bills. This is not just a trend for students, according to Ms. Gallagher, but
also for people who have established careers. Nowadays, everyone has an extra job to
earn extra income.

According to recent studies, freelance jobs account for 25 percent of contracted
writing, graphic designs, web designs and software development in the world.
Freelancing full-time or part-time is a career choice, and freelance jobs offer
plenty of opportunities and benefits.

"One of the most popular sources of extra money on the side is freelancing," said
Gallagher. "Unlike many part-time jobs, like babysitting on weekends or doing some
hours at the local movie house after work, freelancing allows you to practice your
profession. This way, you are able to use what you already do in your regular job
and earn extra cash for your current skills."

Freelancing also affords the person more free time compared to other side jobs. This
is because freelancing does not require the person to render a specific number of
hours. Jobs are often per project basis. The schedule is given at the start of the
contract. It is up to the freelancer to manage or budget his time so that he can
finish the job on or before the deadline. This is a benefit to freelancing. The job
is finished when the freelancer is finished with it.

Another benefit of freelancing is that you can freelance without being physically
present. The World Wide Web and the speedy transfer of data allow people to
telecommute. Although they would still be doing the job, they don't have to be in
the same area, location or country as the company they are freelancing for. They can
work from home and do the transactions over the Internet.

Today, freelancers can easily find work through the Internet. The Internet has
become a good facilitator of freelancers and employers around the world. These jobs
can range from writing short articles to language tutorials to architectural
designs. The demand for freelancers is very high, as shown by the thousands of
projects posted on the Internet.

Creative Freelancing is based on Melissa Gallagher's own experiences as a freelancer
over the last five years. She has freelanced as a writer, graphic designer, and
coder to earn extra money while attending college, and she continues to freelance to
earn extra money on the side to help pay the bills.
