Freelancing has its highs and lows. Job security is one aspect where holding a day job is more advantageous than a freelancing stint.
During seasons where job projects are scarce, a number of freelancers find themselves in a dilemma to accept bulk work or not. Should you do it?
People who have had some success with online work say that going for the small fish might not be good for you. Here's why:
- The volume of work can be overwhelming. Unless you work in a team or plan to outsource the workload to a third party, a bulk project can burn you out. As a single provider, can you really churn out 100 articles in a month? Fewer hours of sleep, little or no time to pursue other interests, the increasing pressure to deliver well and on the dot -- For how long can you survive the pressure?
