Freelancing: Why do you do?

An incident of lockdown last year. One sister posted on Facebook with regret. The bottom line is that an aunt from the house next door came to her house and asked her to teach her son freelancing within a month. Because college is closed in lockdown, the boy is sitting at home on Facebook, playing games, wasting time. If you are a freelancer, your monthly income is thousands of dollars. The sister's question was, if there is a doctor in the house next door, no aunty goes and says, Dad, make my son a little doctor, if there is no engineer, don't ask, make him an engineer, BCS cadre to the neighbor, no one holds the deposit, the father makes the boy BCS cadre Give it to me. But if you hear that there is a freelancer in the house next door, then everyone stumbles. His question was is it so easy to be a freelancer?

In my opinion, the people of this country are convinced that if they have a PC and a net line, they are freelancers, the result is a rain of dollars. Many have lost their jobs in the lockdown, many are living helplessly. Many of them posted on Facebook asking for help. To my surprise, many in the comments advised them to start freelancing. Any frustrated unemployed youth, if you post help on Facebook, you will get the advice to start freelancing. Freelancing is the destination of the frustrated, the unemployed, the jobless, the fallen in the battle of life. I have received requests to teach freelancing in the last 6 years, almost everyone is in this category. My point is, for those who are already defeated and frustrated in the battle of life, how will they work in a challenging and highly competitive sector like freelancing. They are more likely to lose.

Those who want to do freelancing. Have they asked themselves, in a world where there are so many jobs, why do you want to be a freelancer? I don't think most people know the answer. In my opinion, the reason is nothing else, 90% of the public in our country is known for freelancing, by some fake YouTubers named freelancers. They lure thousands of dollars in income, hoping to get a like view, and sleep at home for the purpose of selling amulets of course. As a result, in the lure of money, the common people all come to this sector. Those hypocrites do the course. Down the marketplace after or before the course. Maybe he works half an hour or no one gets a job. After that, he gave up for a while in frustration. However, some clever people follow this formula and they also start taking courses. There is no $5 income from the marketplace, but the public who do the course will find plenty in your neighborhood.

You will be surprised to know that it is very easy to enroll in a freelancer's book in this country. First, open an account on Fiber, give a gig, if asked to take the test, spend some money, there is public to pass it. He then bought reviews from sellers for / 5/10. You have become a freelancer. After that, swell in front of everyone and say, you are a freelancer. What is my formula? A few days ago, I was talking to a painter who has an account on Fiber. I did not say more out of fear.

Young people in this country have no purpose in life, 75% of graduates do not know what to do after passing. As a result, freelancing course sellers see flashy advertisements, making freelancing their life's goal. I leaked a secret. That is, even 6/7 years ago, there were not so many courses in Bengal. Because there was less competition in the market then, you could get a job with a little effort. So the professionals of that time tried to keep everything a secret. They did not want to increase their competitiveness. And now the reality is completely different. The number of freelancers is much higher than the number of buyers in the marketplace. Even if all the work is divided, it is doubtful whether one work per head will be shared by all. As a result, now everyone has become generous, now everyone is busy making courses. It has become one of the means of income. Because the trainer himself doesn't get much work now. As a result, he is using his endless time to create courses and brainwash newcomers. Like I am writing such a big post for you. If I had a job, I wouldn't write it

Now let's talk about the reality of freelancing. Corona has faced our difficult reality. The work that would have been done in the next 5/10 years has already started. In the future, everything will be through AI (Artificial intelligence) and automation. The application of which we are already seeing. Let me give you a real example. I have been working in a company for the last 8 years. I work with that team through Slack. Everyone in the company is involved. Maine Buyer gave me a job, about 1000 photo work, many have done this work before, now they have to do all these PNG. Getting a big job in times of scarcity, I happily started working with everyone on the team. After a few days of hard work, we all submitted the work. The deputy of the Oma team says that it is not necessary. I grabbed the main buyer by the hand on his head, he said to talk to the deputy. The deputy said he did not ask me to do this. After that, I went to his chat history and found a huge story. That is, they let a company do this work before me. They use any AI technology, they finish the job well in just a few hours, they deliver. Herewith the main buyer, due to his communication gap, sometimes I had to work for free. I realize there aren't too many days when they won't let me. This incident reminded me of Faridul Bhai (the old IPS seller, with whom I posted). Garment company to bring robot karting machine, 15 of them karting Starr's job goes together. That is the reality.

Freelancing the day ahead will be even more difficult. Only highly skilled and creative people will do well there. It is said that in the next 5 years if you do not re-skill yourself, 50% of the people will fall out of this sector. I am trying to say something briefly in my limited knowledge.

Graphics:

Buyers are now able to do simple graphics with the help of online software like Canva. Many complex graphics are now going to be easily done with online software like placeit.net. This kind of software is getting stronger day by day. With a lot of software online, the work of removing the background of the photo can be done quickly. I have already said my own experience. So without very good quality skills and creativity in the future, it will be difficult to survive in this sector.

Web, Design, and Development:

Design and development are now so advanced that buyers don't want to hire a freelancer to do the work of the general web and say much lower rates if they want to. These simple tasks can be done by yourself. It is said that AI technology may come to the fore in this sector as well. That means you will give an idea, tight code will be generated through AI. So I would say if you don't have very good coding skills and can't come up with creative ideas, it will be difficult to survive.

Article Writing:

AI technology has now entered this sector as well. With a few keywords and settings, the article is written in a few clicks. the word ai or different sites like this are doing this. A few days ago I talked about the word Tune. Using Ai technology, they are getting more and more advanced day by day. Although the demand for high-quality article writers will continue for a long time to come, it is not too late for ordinary writers to share the rice.

SEO:

This sector will be completely occupied by smart people. Because search engines are so advanced now that they are behaving a lot like human beings. Google has already succeeded in building a quantum computer. Google has been working on a project called Neural Machine for a long time. This program can program itself. Much like humans. So you understand how smart you have to be to catch this kind of technology. The days of copy and paste SEO are over. This sector is only for creative and smart people.

Voiceover:

Many people have already come up with software that can give vocals just like humans. Now AI technology is going to be added to it. Deep fake videos or voices are now easily available on the net. As a result, it is not too late for voiceover artists to get kicked in the stomach.

Digital Marketing:

The most demanding sector of the present time. This sector is also getting much more advanced. Those who are much more experienced and smart will reign in this sector. There are many types of automation software out there, they work as a media manager. So if you want to stay in this sector, you have to be much more advanced.

In this way, if I shorten all the sectors, then the post will be much bigger. And it is true that I have no idea about all the sectors. Anyway, at least I didn't go down without explaining myself first. I would say if you only think of surviving by freelancing, think a little and find out, then come to this sector. Not only do we see the income and success of a successful freelancer, but we do not know or see the story behind his success. So the newcomers get confused. I can tell the story of sprinter Usain Bolt. He won 9 Olympic gold medals. For this, he had to run only 115 seconds in total. His net income totaled $199 million. In other words, his income per second was about 2 million dollars. But you know, it took him almost 20 years of hard work to get to this stage. But we will see the income of crores of rupees per second.

Reading my post so far, a newcomer should be disappointed. I actually want your best, be careful about this. It was very sad to know a story of cheating a few days ago. An SSC student decides to do freelancing by watching a fake video. Mom forced her father to buy a laptop for Rs 50,000. After doing that fake course, he came to the marketplace and saw that freelancing was no longer possible with what he had learned. He became very frustrated. And at one point he started getting drunk. No one will tell you this kind of story. But there are thousands of such stories of deception.

Even after knowing so much, if you persist, you will see the end of it. But I would say freelancing is for you. I just want to make it clear to everyone. If you really want to do freelancing, I would say with enough time in hand, develop your skills very well. Hope you do well. I myself am a very optimistic person. Don't get frustrated easily. So let me tell you, don't be discouraged. God's world is too big. You don't have to do freelancing for a living. There are thousands of more means of livelihood. Try them. Succeed easily. And if you have made freelancing your goal in life, then first ask yourself, why do you do freelancing? If you come to this line in the lure of money, leave this goal quickly. And if your heart says, you want to do something independently with your talent, creativity, enjoy an independent and free life, then I would say freelancing is for you. Stick to it, success will come inshallah.
