What should a freelance worker do if they decide to launch on their own? This!  

1. Create an emergency fund:


Ideally, you can create your own emergency fund. As an amateur freelance worker you will have to face certain difficulties at the beginning that will be better to overcome if you have a monetary base. The same you can get it with another job while you work independently part time and you will not be desperate for money, your customers do not notice your need, will allow you to work more calm and be more creative.


 2. Business plan:


 It should not be too detailed, but it should include your goals and the type of tasks you intend to accept.   

3. Method of payment:


It is not feasible to start a business without knowing how to charge. You will have to define if you will work by hour, by time or another way.

If this is not your case, there are coworking options or looking to create a space with an acquaintance that works under the same modality as you. The important thing is that you have access to the Internet, be a quiet place and have telephone reception.
