How to start working for yourself

Formal employment has clear benefits regarding social security. However, the benefits end there. There remains the need for a permanent presence in the workplace, the implementation of routine, not always justified activities, a constant struggle with physiology. Moreover, it is not a fact that the payment of official labor is proportional to the efforts expended.

The age of a market economy provides an opportunity for anyone to make money, involving at least intermediaries in this process. Of course, it is impossible to completely refuse the participation of strangers, since there is always a tandem performer - customer. You can work exclusively for yourself, but only if you start a subsistence economy, but in this case you will have to give up the benefits of civilization, which, of course, is not realistic. In order to optimize incomes and not share them with intermediaries and employers, first of all, you should analyze your abilities, opportunities, choose a field of activity where they can find the best application.

Starting an independent activity, it is worthwhile to study in detail the market of competitors and the format of user demand. In this case, you should be aware that all the niches are occupied today, so it is almost impossible to become a pioneer today. But you can create UTP (a unique selling proposition) - the term does not necessarily refer to trade, most importantly, find a moment that competitors have not thought of. For example, an economist may start consulting or agent activities online. Today, there are so many individual entrepreneurs and LLCs that do not have economic knowledge and accounting skills that the help of a qualified specialist will be very useful to them.

The stumbling block may be the search for customers. But for this, the Internet was created to overcome distances and boundaries. The customer can be in another city and even a country, and you can find him through special sites. Of course, there is a certain share of risk in virtual cooperation, especially at first, and mutual, so if the contractor and the customer found each other, we can assume that they were lucky.

The peculiarity of working for yourself lies in the fact that its volumes are not regulated, in contrast to the official service. Therefore, a "free artist" always has the opportunity to expand the number of clients and attract like-minded people to cooperation. But here we are already talking about an enterprise that is better to legalize, at least as an individual entrepreneur. Some forms of taxation can be made completely painless for the total income, but it is better to consult a professional.

note

The main mistake of all beginning "free artists" is their focus on instant success - this is a mistake. The instant success that coaches seduce at various webinars, if it happens, is only an exception to the rule.
