[태그:] why I stopped freelancing

  • Why I Quit Trying to Be a Freelancer (And What I Do Instead)

    For two years, I tried to make it as a freelancer.
    I joined Upwork, Fiverr, and a dozen job boards.
    I wrote proposals, lowered my rates, worked late nights — all for clients who barely paid me.

    Then I quit.

    But I didn’t give up on making money online.
    I just realized I needed to build something I controlled.

    The Problem with Freelancing

    Freelancing sounds amazing — freedom, money, clients.
    But in reality:

    • You chase clients every week
    • Work depends on someone hiring you
    • Your income resets to zero every month
    • Revisions, deadlines, stress…

    I realized I had no leverage.

    What I Chose Instead: Content Systems

    Instead of selling my time, I started building systems:

    • A blog that brings traffic (this one!)
    • Digital products I can sell 24/7
    • Affiliate links that earn while I sleep
    • AI tools that multiply my work

    Now, I wake up to small earnings — without checking job boards.

    Would I Ever Go Back?

    Maybe. Freelancing can be great if you’re highly skilled and well-positioned.
    But for beginners like me, building something small but scalable is far more rewarding.

    Final Thoughts

    You don’t have to freelance to earn online.
    There are quieter, slower, but steadier ways — and they might just suit you better.
