HAPPY SHOPPING

The word ” freelancing ” repeatedly resonates with the Corona Virus still lurking in the global health alleys. So, what is freelancing? And why is it trending more and more as the lockdowns become more frequent? It turns out that freelancing is just a way to work from home. Yes, it’s a highly blissful situation for those who have always wished to work from home.

But is freelancing better than a job? Well, we want to leave the conclusion on your side. After all, it’s you who decide what falls under your definition of comfortable and what does not. Anyways, let us start by exploring the basics of freelancing.

What is freelancing?

Freelancing is simply working from the home premises that would otherwise require traditional office hours. Not everyone enjoys remaining bound within regular office hours and eating their meals on time allocated by the official rules. When people have the flexibility to work and rest, some perform better. But, notice the word “some” in the earlier sentence because working as a freelancer has its own sets of pros and cons.

If you still have confusion regarding freelancing, let us see with an example. Let us consider you are a writer. While the traditional job system demands you present within the office premises 5-6 days a week within a certain time bracket. Then, the pandemic and lockdowns enter the plot, and physically attending office becomes risky for you and your family at home. So, what choice do you have? Exactly! Freelancing.

Is Freelancing Easy?

The answer to that query varies with person and the type of work. So, is freelancing hard? Absolutely! We have to remember that freelancing is just a new way of doing your old job. If you are struggling at your position within office premises, chances are you will carry the same feelings when you are a freelancer.

When you think of freelancing websites like Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal, Freelancer.com, Flexjobs, Guru, LinkedIn, and others, they are just a medium that connects you and your work. Getting jobs from these websites does not make your actual job easier but provides you with time and space flexibility. There is also the initial phase of uncertainty you need to consider before starting freelancing. Your chances of landing the next client and getting paid depending on your research, efforts, and reviews from previous projects.

Also, you will be doing a wide range of works as a newbie freelancer. While the office job you hated only demanded specific skills, you will have to research project management, sales, and client management now that you have the freelancer tag on your profession. But, the process only gets easier when you start blending with the environment. Landing gigs and filtering scams becomes easier once you have the momentum. Make sure you provide quality products to your clients so that their reviews and testimonials will aid you in propelling your career in the right direction. Reviews are essential because negative remarks and comments mean the whole world will be accessing you through their lens.

Is Freelancing Good for Students?

Freelancing is something that people of any age group can commit, and by that, I mean you should pass the maturity meters of society. That brings us to the question at hand, is freelancing safe for students, and how much can a student earn from freelancing? All these questions have a lot of variables with values that vary from person to person.

If you think about the current situation, college fees are skyrocketing, and the working restrictions imposed on the students are not helping either. No student will say no to extra money. Even if they have their tuition fees covered, extra money means flexibility in many sectors of life. Students have so much to deal with, including assignments and examinations. So, they cannot commit to fixed hours unless they are on vacation.

So, freelancing can be a good option. If you have the essentials to tackle projects, you can work as a freelancer. You can adjust the working hours length of the project and get paid decent bucks in the process. As for how much you can take home depends on the number of projects you complete and the weight of those projects in the global market.

Is Freelancing Worth it in 2021?

The question here is irrelevant of the year variable now. The coronavirus is evolving, and we might be seeing more lockdowns in the future. So, freelancing can be a good start for those who cannot attend the office physically. Also, some have been robbed of their jobs solely due to pandemic restrictions. For those, freelancing could be the only option.

Similarly, another upside of freelancing is that you can train yourself with the resources you find on the internet and gradually climb the ladders of freelancing. You just have to decide, work on a particular set of skills, and commit your time. Often, freelancing is hard on starting years and gradually eases out as you gain experience and hone your skills. If you scan the freelancing websites, you can see people charging even $100 to $200 per hour for their services in software development, designing, digital marketing, writing, etc.

Conclusion

If I have to conclude the main points under a single heading, we can divide the freelancing career into different topics.

• You should define your goals and where you want to reach as a freelancer.
• If you are ready to work, sit down and brainstorm your best skills. Since most skill sections are saturated, applying on units that suit your interest will make the hustle easier.
• Once you have the list of all your skills, it’s time to merge them and find something worth paying. Your service should be of use to someone on the other side of the globe.
• If you are just starting as a freelancer, do not be greedy for money. Everyone starts at the bottom, and you can begin with reasonable rates that are okay with your current skillset. As you gradually improve and complete more projects, you can increase your rates.
• Make sure the platform you are working on has all the legal ends tightly sewn. The payment and taxes should always be in a positive direction. Otherwise, you could face legal issues in the future.
• It’s always not about people reaching out to you. If you have the right skills and competitors are lurking on the website, you need to reach out to potential clients to score the job personally.

Well, these are some of the points you need to consider before you embark on your freelancing journey. Like any other skill, you need to accumulate experiences along the way and pave your customized path as you progress. Freelancing can be easy for some and hell for some, but working hard and committing to something always pays off. With that said, we wish good luck to anyone thinking of starting their career as a freelancing and best wishes for those already in progress.

A strong brand is one of the most important assets any company can have. More than just its logo, it’s the total of a customer and prospective customers’ experiences with the company. A good brand communicates what a company does, establishes trust, and differentiates it from its competition. It’s simultaneously a mark of quality, a statement of intent, and a commitment to certain values.

But even the most successful companies with the most recognisable global brands know that in business nothing stands still. As the market, technology and the expectations of customers moves on, it becomes necessary to revisit and fine-tune their brands. Apple, Coca-Cola, and Google have all undergone rebrands to maintain or restore their market leadership.

A successful rebrand should keep the core promise of the business while reinventing how the consumer sees it and recommitting to its corporate mission. Done well, it can help redefine a brand’s promise and set it up for the next phase of its growth.

A good example of a successful, fast-growing local business that is about to undertake a rebrand is e-commerce giant Daraz. Daraz was formed in Pakistan in 2012 and has grown to become the 18^th largest e-commerce platform worldwide in terms of monthly users. It has seen business on its platform grow at 100 percent year on year and is on track to achieve sales of close to USD 1 billion on its platform during its financial year. Daraz last evolved its brand in 2018. During that time the company – and the entire e-commerce landscape – has changed drastically.

As internet penetration has expanded, technology has improved and online shopping has built a track record of trust, e-commerce has grown from simple online shopping to being a hub for services, goods and experiences central to people’s lives.

To support this increased demand and expansion of scope, the Daraz ecosystem has transformed to now include a marketplace with over 50 million products, a digitalized logistics network that delivers up to three days faster than other suppliers, and financial payments and financial services that make payments more secure, seamless, and more accessible.

By keeping innovation at the forefront of its growth strategy, Daraz has also introduced several tech-driven initiatives over the last 12 months in line with its focus of being more than just a marketplace and to create enriching experiences for both its customers and sellers. Last year, for instance, the e-commerce leader introduced its live streaming feature, Daraz Live, allowing it to merge the offline and online shopping experiences for its users. Through this feature, its customers can now engage directly with sellers in a more interactive manner and have access to real-time content.

The pace of change will continue as digitisation in South Asia gathers momentum.

The goal of Daraz’s rebrand this year will be to continue reflecting its core values – make it personal, deliver on its promises, continuously innovate and conduct business with a generosity of spirit. It will also represent Daraz’s move towards a more unified brand structure that creates greater connectivity with both its buyers and sellers and will position the business for the next stage of growth by showcasing how it’s shifting gears as a business and unlocking new opportunities.

With the rebrand, Daraz will move towards creating a more exploratory and personalized experience, where the focus is not only on selling products but also ensuring that it will continually improve the quality of services and products at each step of its customer journey, as well as develop new avenues of engagement for its users. Ultimately, this keeps to the company’s ambition of making e-commerce a key part of people’s everyday lives.
