How To Improve Online Presence For Freelancers
American actor and producer Kevin Spacey said, “Anyone with an internet connection and an idea can develop an audience.” What he said cannot be more accurate. Statistics show that as of January 2021, there were 4.66 billion active internet users worldwide. That accounts for 59.5% of the global population.

Must Have Skills To Thrive In The Gig Economy
Flexibility is the way to go nowadays. Many people like to have flexible work for them to be able to manage their own time. With this, you get to be your own boss while earning money and have more time for yourself, your family, and your other interests.

When the economy and job market are stable, it is easy to explore and assume that the grass is greener on the other side. But with the pandemic, you will think that still having a job is a blessing as you see the unemployment rate rising and several companies closing.

Many companies are hiring right now, so there are good opportunities out there.
Stay Motivated While Working From Home? Here’s How!
Excited. Relieved. Thankful. These are the initial reactions of some after hearing that they will be shifting to a work-from-home setup. Many organizations resorted to a work-from-home set- up last year because of the pandemic. And who would not like this set- up? Work-from-home means no travel time going to the office, no pressure on dressing up to impress, no loud co-worker, and other office distractions. However, after doing this for a long time, the excitement fades away. Staying productive is challenging, you miss the human interaction, long for the old times, and experience mental distress.
