Top freelancing tips for beginners: Never stop upskilling as a freelancer
#Freelancetips
No matter how confident you are in your skills, the reality is that way the world works is evolving at lightning speed — with a 0% chance of slowing down anytime soon. What does it mean? It means that taking a single Hubspot course about Introduction to SEO back in the Spring of 2010 (or 2019, for that matter) isn't gonna cut it by today's standards. Especially if you're claiming to be an SEO expert.
By choosing to earn a living as a freelancer in today's competitive landscape, you're committing to life as a forever student of your chosen craft. And while courses can be a great way of staying up-to-date, it comes down to retaining your sense of curiosity.
Commit to reading just one article a day and watch how quickly you pick up the "industry lingo." Listen to podcasts. Watch tutorials on YouTube. Attend webinars. Follow other industry professionals on their chosen medium and keep an eye on what they're up to. Join a community, as suggested above. As long as you remain engaged in your craft, remaining on the cutting edge becomes a lot easier.
