I’d imagine it may work somewhat like it always has, but with some of the more technical jobs (say some web dev stuff) or the like, I’m not entirely clear on it.

What sort of job listings or openings or whathaveyou do freelancers typically keep an eye out for when on the hunt for new jobs? Also, depending on the country, how do they get by without whatever employer benefits may be provided (e.g. in the US this may generally be like health insurance and retirement-related stuff)?

    What’s the freelancing platform, if you don’t mind my asking? I do freelance digital marketing, content creation type stuff and that sounds ideal for when I have the odd quiet spell (like right now, as it happens!)

      Upwork. Yeah I think it’s perfect for filling in. If i had to earn a whole living on it I think it would be too stressful for me.

        Thanks, will definitely check that out. Although no doubt as soon as I do I’ll be swamped with regular client work! :-)
