Freelancing is set to become the dominant career path in the world, according to a study by Upwork, and 36% of the workforce is already freelancing. Between gig economy companies, people opting for freelancing over jobs with no security, or people losing their jobs and turning to freelancing, the working world is about to become a lot more individual. Add onto that how the vast majority of freelancers work remotely, and we’re looking at a very different world from the office-employment centricity of the past.

Here are my best tips for successfully building a freelance business while avoiding the pitfalls of remote work.
