Many of Lifehacker's readers are freelancing in one way or another. Developers, advertising strategists, creatives, SMM and SEO specialists, designers and other professions feed someone and constitute the only type of employment, and for someone - a part-time job.

We will share with you how to be as productive as possible while working as a freelancer, as well as stay healthy and be able to separate work and life so that customers stop repeating horror stories about freelancers.

Self-education

Even some 2-3 years ago, getting a profession online was something unrealistic. However, the lightning-fast development of the Internet and mobile devices has revolutionized. Online courses are available from anywhere in the world 24 hours a day.

Education is now not a heavy duty, but a flexible tool for self-improvement. At the same time, online education is cheaper than traditional education. Thus, you spend an adequate amount and very little time, and in return you get a highly-paid profession that is in demand in the market.
