After completing high school education, students dream of a hip and busy college life. And it is pretty remarkable. You meet new people, make friends, and enjoy your youth to the fullest. But a common concern amongst many college students is the lack of money.

College students often work at restaurants and other small businesses to earn money while studying. But there are better ways to help you make extra bucks and be financially independent while in college.

Remember how teachers conducted workshops about starting your own business in middle school? It’s something like that but bigger. You can polish one of your skills and make money with it. You must start by educating yourself about freelancing and marketing.

Marketing is a core skill that’s needed to elevate any business. Let’s understand how it works.

What is freelancing?

Freelancing is the act of working independently and selling your services directly to your clients. You are responsible for learning the skill and marketing yourself to attract prospects. You can choose to work with one company at once or multiple brands based on your capacity. Freelancing trends show that the future is bright for freelancers.

There are both good and bad sides to freelancing. To begin with, you must be resilient and hardworking, but it gets better with time as you learn you control your workload. As with any other job, there are pros and cons to freelancing.

Pros

  1. There are no fixed work timings for a freelancer. You can work as and when you want without any restrictions.
  2. You are your boss as you choose which client to work with and which to ditch.
  3. You set your prices.
  4. You set your terms and conditions.
  5. There’s no limit to how much you can earn. You can go from $1,000 a month to $100k in one year, depending on your service and quality of work.

Cons

  1. You are solely responsible for your failure.
  2. Things can get lonely at times.
  3. You’ll need to handle everything yourself—from invoices, branding, marketing, and rejections. Everything is your duty.
  4. When you accept multiple clients at once, work can get hectic. You have to juggle between calls and work.

These are the characteristics of freelancing in general. It’s hard initially but gets better with time as you build a team to handle some of your tasks. You can also sub-contract your work, so makes sure you have some excellent freelancers inside your roaster.

How to pick a niche as a college student?

Picking a niche is the most critical task while beginning your freelance journey. A niche is what you’re going to freelance in. For college students, choose a niche that aligns with their studies or major. This way, you’ll research more about a topic and be better at it.

Also, this will give you an extra edge when you’ll finish college and choose to for a job. However, you can build your own freelancing business by working hard initially.

If you’re a literature student, you can go for writing. If you study computer science and coding, you choose full-stack development. The point is you should be comfortable with what you do, and the rest will fall into place.

How to grow as a freelancer?

This is where marketing comes in. You need to understand how to market your services as a freelancer. There are many prospects out there who don’t know that you exist, so begin by creating content on various social media platforms and start building a personal brand. Here are a few ways you can market yourself as a freelancer:

  • Instagram: Create a profile and set your username as a keyword for your service. This will attract people who’re searching for a service. For instance, if your name is Josh, and you’re a full-stack developer, your profile name can be “Full-Stack Developer Josh.” Then, start creating content around your niche to establish your expertise. Once you prove yourself as someone who knows his way around work, there’s no stopping you.
  • LinkedIn: Marketing on LinkedIn is different from Instagram as the content here is written format. You can sign gigs here worth thousands of dollars if you’re a writer. This is a professional platform where people are always looking for prospects. Decision-makers for various companies are present here so you can make an impression in no time. The only prerequisite is quality content creation. Start by writing two to three posts per week and increase the frequency slowly. LinkedIn has shown excellent results for many people, and you can be one of them.

You can build a business as a freelancer if you work hard. Especially now, when more and more companies choose freelancers for various services. All you need to do is learn a skill and master it. There’s no shortage of work.
