Want to know how to survive a recession? Let's face it. The economy is just not as great as it used to be and the chances of finding a job (or keeping one) are just as grim. But when faced against odds like these, how do you survive a recession? Well, you don't have to worry about limiting your meals to just two times a day. You don't have to buy all your clothes from the thrift shop either. Instead of spending less, why not try to earn more? I'm talking about becoming a freelance writer. In this line of work, you can easily earn additional income without compromising too much. 1) Flexible hours Being a freelance writer is a great way on how to survive a recession because you don't necessarily have to give up your regular job for it. The hours are quite flexible. It's basically up to you to manage your time well. Employers usually give you a deadline for articles. If you're organized enough, you can juggle both your day job and your freelance writing gig. 2) More brain than brawn Writing also takes more brain than brawn. You don't have to use up all your energy to write articles and meet deadlines. This makes you less tired and lessens the chance of you losing interest in everything else. It also helps exercise your mind and improves your line of thinking in the long run. 3) More fun than not While most people don't find their line of work fun, the same cannot be said for freelance writing. Being a freelance writer helps you survive a recession in a fun way. Freelance writing jobs can be an exciting educational experience. You'll learn a lot about the topic you're writing about - be it automobiles, fashion, travel or something new. Aside from being given creative free will, you're also able to attain more knowledge about a particular topic. Before you know it, you're already an expert on the different kinds of car models and engines! There
are many ways on how to survive a recession. However, not all
of them can be as convenient - and as fun - as freelance writing.
Even if you don't think you can write well, I strongly suggest
you try it out and take every opportunity that comes your way.
