Become A Freelancer | Rehan Allahwala

In this video, Rehan Allahwala explains that freelancing is often misunderstood as "airborne income," but it's actually contract-based work where individuals take on various tasks, particularly computer-related ones like graphic design, accounting, writing, and teaching. He compares freelancing to entrepreneurship, where you take risks, work hard, and face both gains and losses, unlike traditional jobs with fixed incomes. Rehan highlights popular platforms like Freelancer.com, Upwork, Fiverr, and LinkedIn, which are especially valuable for building long-term client relationships.

He emphasizes the importance of strong communication skills, the ability to express yourself, and the confidence to showcase your talent as a freelancer. Additionally, he mentions various resources, such as online courses and expert guidance (e.g., Hisham Sarwar, Skillshare), that are available to help anyone, regardless of age or gender, learn to freelance and succeed in this growing field.
