Freelancing or contracting: what’s the difference?

There are differences between the two and, as a copywriter, you have the flexibility to work full or part time, as well as an employee, as a freelancer, or contractor.

Most of us are familiar with what it’s like to be an employee. And because we’re familiar with it, it feels “safer.” But there’s nothing that makes being an employee safer (in fact, it’s often “safer” being a freelancer).

If you’ve been intrigued by contracting or freelancing, but don’t know where to start, this episode is for you. Nicki and Kate talk about the differences between the two, as well as the differences between these types of positions and being an employee. By the end of the episode, our hope for you is that you understand contracting and freelancing just a bit better.

Being open to contracting and freelancing can open up a world of opportunities as a copywriter. Listen now!
