So many users, after reading a few articles on the topic of making money on the Internet, are tempted by the prospect of a simple, easy, monetary job.
However, you need to understand that free cheese is only in a mousetrap and in order to earn at least some serious money, you need to make a decent effort. Unfortunately, this truth is inaccessible to the understanding of many Internet users.
Moreover, earnings on the Web are constantly acquiring more and more new legends.
Let's get acquainted with the main myths associated with freelancing in order to get an uncluttered idea of nonsensical information about this phenomenon.
You can make money online without doing anything
There are a huge number of different services offering earnings on meaningless work. Somewhere it is proposed to endlessly click on advertising links, somewhere - to read any news, watch videos, etc.
Of course, you can only dream of such a job: you sit, click on links or look through some articles or videos out of the corner of your eye - beauty! In fact, these types of earnings either bring mere pennies, or are generally a hoax. Remember: you can earn money only by doing some meaningful work, the result of which can be useful to someone.
Freelancer can work whenever he wants
Indeed, a freelance copywriter, web programmer, SEO specialist, content manager, etc. are most often free to build their own work schedule.
But in order to get a decent income, a freelancer often has to work even more than an offline employee. For example, if a middle manager has fulfilled his official duties, then at his legal 6 pm he can go home. A freelancer, on the other hand, can receive an order from a regular client at any time, and a refusal in this case is fraught with the loss of an important cooperation.
Freelancer is always provided with work
It is believed that a freelancer can find a job for himself at any time, because the Internet is large, and, accordingly, there should be a lot of offers.
In fact, a copywriter or web designer, programmer or content manager is looking for work in certain places, where they can trust employers, and the conditions suit them. Therefore, one fine day, there may simply not be suitable job offers on your favorite exchange or forum.
Freelancer pays no taxes
A lot of people think that freelancers never pay taxes. In fact, this only applies to copywriters, web programmers, SEOs, whose income is less than $1,000.
For everyone else, it is much safer to register an individual entrepreneur and pay all taxes established by law.
Of course, this is not very profitable, but it gives a guarantee of quiet work without the fear that an invitation to the tax office may be in the mailbox.
We have listed far from all, but the most common myths about making money on the Internet, in particular, concerning freelancing. And if you are ready to seriously freelance to earn serious money, just be prepared that this is daily hard work.
