195. Freelance vs. Contract: Which is Better?

Freelancing or contracting: what’s the difference?


There are differences between the two and, as a copywriter, you
have the flexibility to work full or part time, as well as an
employee, as a freelancer, or contractor.


Most of us are familiar with what it’s like to be an employee.
And because we’re familiar with it, it feels “safer.” But there’s
nothing that makes being an employee safer (in fact,
it’s often “safer” being a freelancer).


If you’ve been intrigued by contracting or freelancing, but don’t
know where to start, this episode is for you. Nicki and Kate talk
about the differences between the two, as well as the differences
between these types of positions and being an employee. By the
end of the episode, our hope for you is that you understand
contracting and freelancing just a bit better.


Being open to contracting and freelancing can open up a world of
opportunities as a copywriter. Listen now!
