I personally think that freelancing is, as the name suggests, work without any restrictions.
You can allocate your time freely and choose the industry development that interests you, such as:
1. Start your own clothing series
2. Sell your products online of artwork
3. Become a freelance writer, designer or developer
4. Teach online courses
5. Publish your own book

These are all different freelance jobs, the most important ones are personal interests and hobbies.
If you have to classify freelancing, you can classify it according to various aspects.
It is divided into three categories according to the office style, namely SOHO family, CO-WORK family and MO family.
①SOHO group
Refers to people who work from home. SOHO is the abbreviation of small office/home office. It became popular with the advent of computers and the Internet. The emergence of SOHO group marks the rise of freelancers.
②CO-WORK family
CO in CO-WORK is the abbreviation of cooperation. The nature of this work means working in a joint work space and enjoying the office space.
③?MO group
MO is the English abbreviation of mobile-office. Mobile office is also called remote work. You can use computers, mobile phones and other tools in your hands to work anytime and anywhere.
Classified according to labor relations, they can be divided into five categories:
① Independent contractors, they are complete freelancers, do not have a fixed employer, and handle multiple projects for different clients.
② Part-time workers, they have a full-time job from 9 to 5, but they also use their spare time to make extra money.
③ Diversified employees have multiple sources of income. For example, while working as part-time teachers, they are also Didi drivers and fitness instructors.
④Temporary workers, who have a single employer for a specific period of time, such as nannies.
⑤Free business owners, they have 1-5 employees.
Classified according to nature, they can be divided into: technical workers and information workers.
The so-called technical workers can be understood as manual workers. They use their skills to provide services to others. Their services must complete transactions in real life and cannot be transmitted over the Internet.
The so-called information workers can be understood as mental workers or creative workers. The content of their work can be converted into data that can be delivered via Internet transmission. Workers can complete all processes through computers and the Internet. They do not need to physically move like technical workers to complete transactions in reality.
Freelancing is a trend that provides people with the possibility of another way of working. Most people will not choose to resign immediately, but will work full-time and find part-time jobs at the same time. After the part-time job reaches the ideal standard, they will fully switch to freelancing. Freelancing requires a transition process.
As a freelancer, you can make money in your spare time, monetize your abilities, and find part-time jobs based on your interests and abilities.
You can think carefully about whether you have any special skills, expertise, or the ability to be monetized, such as taking orders on some freelance platforms, and choose the fields you are good at to find suitable opportunities. Domestic Websites such as Freeter, Zhubajie, and Freeman are good choices.
