Why Freelance?

Bright employees feeling frustrated and stagnated in their careers has become a workplace commonality. Often, they can be found disheartened about having little personal time, and no freedom to choose how to lead their lives. If you happen to be one of those employees feeling the clutches of your full-time job, you may want to rethink freelancing as a career path.

Especially in today’s gig economy, freelance work comes with many perks you might not be aware of. For starters, there is a great deal of flexibility, both in terms of work hours and location. So if you’re the type of person who prefers to work from home, and outside of traditional office hours, freelance work is a great option to exercise that personal freedom.

Another advantage many aren’t aware of, is freelance work can often be more financially lucrative than traditional employment – because freelancers are usually paid by the project, rather than by the hour, they have the potential to earn a lot more income from multiple projects.

If you’re looking to break into a new industry or build your professional network, freelance work can be a great way to get started, as it’s a great way to build up your portfolio and experience.

Finally, if you’re the type of person who likes to work on your own terms, and set your own hours, freelance work simply offers a sense of freedom and independence you can’t find in traditional employment.

With a little bit of proper planning and effort, freelance work can be a great way to achieve your professional, personal, and financial goals.

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
