10 Sep 10 3 Biggest Benefits of Part-time Freelancing
The side benefit of being a knowledge worker is the fact that you can anytime start on your own and make yourself free from the grind of “leaving home at 8.30 and returning god knows when.” And did I forget to say nosy bosses?
But, as you can guess it, the road less travelled is not nicely paved, so there could be a lot of patches, holes, dust, dirt, broken patches, and even molten pitches, so to speak on the road to freedom. You need to be cautious when faring through such road. That is why part-time freelancing is always a good idea before you embark on this life-changing journey. To help you take an informed decision, I am going to show you the 3 biggest benefits that part-time freelancing offers.
3 biggest benefits of part-tome freelancing
Get an opportunity to test the water
It is always wise to test the water before you leap into it completely submerging yourself up till your nose. By starting part-time freelancing you can test if the quality of your output is worth its salt or not. Based on the feedback you get from your clients and experiences you earn, you can fine tune your skills and yourself to make it marketable.
Extra bucks in extra time
Part time freelancing also helps you put some extra bucks in your pockets, every single day. This money could be used to meet your financial obligations and even you can use it to finance your vacation. Yes, you can earn this much to support your vacation.
Still get to put bread on the table and smile on your kid’s face
This is the biggest benefit of part-time freelancing. It allows you to keep your current job, which inevitably mean putting bread on the table and smile on your kid’s face — well, on the faces of everyone in the family.
Before you utter the highly motivated, adrenaline-charged two-word phrase, “I quit”, you should start your freelancing career as a part-timers, which you can turn anytime into a fulltime venture.

11 Dec 09 Manage Being Underemployed
Practically everyone with a job in these tumultuous economic times realizes that they are lucky. Finding a job is incredibly difficult, so already having one you’re well ahead of the curve. The problem then comes when you find yourself underemployed. When you feel you could be making more money, or should have better opportunities, but they just haven’t arisen. How do you deal with being underemployed?
Well, realize that most people who feel underemployed are generally dissatisfied with their jobs. Usually this stems from either a salary that is below your standards, the lack of opportunities to express your skills, or just not enough work for you to complete. In any situation you can find yourself feeling unhappy at the workplace. Which is exactly why you should take this opportunity to resolve that situation.
Try making yourself more of an asset to the company. If you find yourself not getting enough work, try asking for more. If you’re not happy with your salary, make yourself stand out so that the company has no choice but to recognize you for your accomplishments. Try asking your boss for more assignments, or ways that you can help out by taking on workload from other sources. Gives you something to do, and helps you become more of an asset.
If you’re unhappy with the position in general, you can use the extra time to network. Hit the break room, or the cafeteria and make friends with the people around you from other departments, or other companies. Find out what opportunities are around you that you didn’t know about. You could end up finding the job of your dreams, you just have to put in the effort to search. If the company you’re at now isn’t meeting your standards, networking can help you find a new opportunity that will. Anything is better than staying underemployed and unhappy.
