Going from a corporate gig to a freelancer feels scary. That is until you realize the income potential when you get to set your own rates. Most people think their bosses or business owners are uniquely qualified or intelligent and that’s what lead to their power/success. But that is not true at all. You can just as easily launch a company and turn it into a profitable, sustainable, and enjoyable business. Focus on profit over passion as you choose what services you will offer. You will generally have an easier time generating larger amounts of revenue if you sell you service to businesses as opposed to individual consumers. Think about all the different ways you can package and reimagine the same services to improve profitability. Shamelessly pitch your service as you build your freelance remote job into a career. 🆘🇺🇸 #creatorsearchinsights

Everybody is looking for a remote job these days, and that's why it's so hard to get one. Everybody is looking at the same companies who hire remote, and that competition for those individual jobs is extremely fierce. One of the best ways that you can create your own remote job is to do what you're already doing, whatever it is that you're doing to make money, but do it remotely and spin it off into your own business. Right now, you might not realize it, but what you do for an employer is helping to make them money. And if you can take that knowledge and talent that you have and apply it to make money for yourself, you're going to be in a much better situation than you were when you were working for the employer. I used to have clients all the time that would tell me, "No, no, no, I'm not making money for the company. I'm just the accountant, or I'm not making money for the company. I'm just the receptionist." But the fact of the matter is, if you weren't helping to make money for the company, that job would not exist. You are doing something that is helping that company be more profitable, be in compliance, be something. The reason that people are scared to go do something on their own is because in order to make that money, you have to sell. And nobody likes to sell. Everybody says that they're scared to sell things. You're selling yourself, you're selling your services, you're selling your business to other people in order to get that money. And selling is a dirty word, and it's super scary. But the best remote jobs are going to be ones where you are able to sell a service directly to people. It can be a service that you sell that's time-based. It can be a package that you create. It can be some sort of framework that they get to use on their own behalf. I'm sure that you notice that a lot of selling happens on TikTok, whether it's TikTok shop, or social media strategist teaching you how to do TikTok better. These are things that they are selling directly to people with a captive audience here on their phone. And you can do that, but in a more business-to-business way. You can sell your services to restaurants. You can specialize in automotive repair. You can specialize in construction workers. You can specialize in an area that allows you to extremely target and niche down whatever product you're selling. That will be the best way to create a remote income that is sustainable and that you have control over. Instead of it being controlled by an employer who could fire you at any time or change the rules and make you go back into the office, finding a remote job is not as easy as just applying to a million roles on LinkedIn. You can take back control of your work situation by creating that role for you.
