One thing that stops people from starting freelancing is the belief that it requires full-time hours right from the beginning. Freelancing simply means offering a skill or service to clients in exchange for payment, and you can do it part-time alongside other commitments. Some people start with just a few hours on weekends. The amount of time you put in will affect how fast you grow, but it does not have to be 40 hours a week from day one. So how many hours a week do you think someone needs to start?
