Well, my first freelancing income was from a Romanian client who paid me 5 GBP to edit her article in 2019.

I remember I started at $60 bi-monthly 5 years ago with no background in freeelancing.

I wrote 50 articles in 6 hours. It was one of the biggest errors in my life to assume freelancing is a path for me.
With the amount of work I can pump, it's pure waste.
Instead, I can make $5K per day. Those 50 articles made me $40.
So mind that in the same time, you can do two completely different things. A thing that pays 1000x more might be a lot more pleasant and pay a lot more.

Freelancing: a seductive trap promising freedom but delivering endless hustle. You'll work harder than ever, constantly undercut by competition, for less money than a steady job. Save yourself the stress and financial instability - it's rarely worth it. You'll have constant pressure to learn new skills and stay relevant in a rapidly changing, primitive technological market. Lower and unpredictable income can lead to constant stress about making ends meet. I had suicide thoughts and wanted to end my life. So be aware of that.

Yes. Each was 500 words and contained unique information. How I did that? I have a specific type of mind and I can produce any amount of work I need. However, the realization we're in a very primitive (ape level) stage of technology, is important to be able to pursue what is really worth for ourselves.Great!

I switch to construction from IT and I'm switching to video editing from software development. Building businesses and matching offers to audience to which I can cater pays a lot bigger dividends.

Yes, you are kind of right. How did you change your mid and what's your profession now?

I became conscious of what I signed up for. I wrote myself out of all money making, hustling and I'm creating YouTube videos where everything happens automatically. I have a state-of-the-art technology to do that which lets me create titles and match them with video produced in Davinci Resolve using unique footage. There's no limit to how much I can create with this.
I talked to many entrepreneurs and it was revealed to me what such mindset is about. It's really powerful for people who have "freedom" at the top of their values system.
I'm analyzing things from meta perspective, so I don't enter a greedy, undercutting market where people believe in tales that work will be given for them by capitalists who outsource work they can't stand themselves. Nobody outsources their funniest work. Work for yourself, not for others to be fulfilled. I'm not chasing money. I had been doing that for 8 years and it brought nothing but lessons that will serve me for the rest of my life.

Why are you doing that to yourself? They pay what for that? $15 a day?
Is it so easy for you that you don't see any other options?

$100 an hour. Very easy money.
