Are you bored of looking for a traditional job? Are you looking for something that allows you to get a wrok-life balance? Maybe it is time to change your mind.

There are plenty of benefits from deciding to work at home. Here are just five to consider if you want to be a freelancer.

1. Make your own hours. Some people work better at night, others at the crack of dawn. You don’t have to adjust your sleep schedule and work at a time that you don’t want to.
2. You can take any day off. Getting a day off at a normal job can be an uphill battle, and good luck trying to get multiple days off. But with freelancing, a majority of jobs have reasonable deadlines, so you aren’t hurt if you want to take a day off. You can just work harder another day to make up. Or you can even work a little if you decide to take a vacation. Just use your laptop at the hotel before bed or when you wake up.
3. The harder you work, the more you’re paid. Most jobs pay you the same by the hour no matter how hard you work. However, many freelancing jobs are fixed price, so the more you do, the more you’re paid. If you devote a few hours to nonstop working, you can potentially make a hundred dollars or more.
4. Work can be diverse. Doing the same task every day can be boring, but with freelancing, you can have a variety of tasks that are different from one another. You can devote one day to working on one job, or do a little bit of everything another.
5. Getting the job is much faster. For the most part, there’s no extremely long applications and no having to wait for too long to see if you got the job. And most interviews are quick and easy. No having to wear a suit, cut your hair, and look awkwardly at your boss as they scrutinize your every breath.

Overall, there are many benefits to freelancing, and it’s something to consider if you’re tired of working from 9-5.
