Have you always dreamed of being your own boss and going self-employed? If so, you will have probably already thought about your job options. Not every career cis suitable to self-employed and freelance workers, so your current full-time job might not be suitable for you if you decide to go it alone. As a result, you might have to think about going into a different line of work. But don’t worry; that doesn’t mean that you will need to retrain or get some more qualifications. Here are some high-paying jobs that you will be able to do as a freelancer!

Artist/ Designer

I am sure many people who are not artists curious about this right? If you are a seasoned artist, you would wondering the same thing too. Artists and designers know that to make a living from their art, you must  create, promote and sell  your work.

Let’s look at this example:

Just say you really love to travel. What could you do to earn a living out of travelling?
 Here are a few things we have come up with:
  • Become a flight attendant
  • Become a tour guide
  • Run a travel agent business
From the above, as you can see, these are very different jobs. But they all involve turning a passion for travelling into income.

Ceramist A plans to earn all of his income through  art commissions only, while Ceramist B focuses exclusively on retail and wholesales. So if art or design is your passion and you live and breathe it, then there are many ways to turn your art or design into income too.
