There are so many reasons that you would want to increase your monthly income but there aren’t so many ways to do that. I think that the best way to increase your monthly income is to start a freelancing business. There are so many reasons as to why you would want to do this so here they are!

Work When You Want

Having the flexibly to work when you want can be great for 2 reasons, you can work only the days that you want to and you can work when you aren't at your regular day job. This means that everything just slots together and works, you won’t have to worry about it interfering with your day job.

Having the freedom to work whenever you want is great. If you have a day that you just can not be bothered to work or you have had a really busy day at your job, you don’t have to work and it will have no impact on you. Alternatively, you are sick that day and you can’t work then you don’t have to because your job won’t be at risk.

The reason that this can be done with freelancing is that you can have a certain amount of clients at a time and set your work hours that clients can see. That way they know what hours you work so that they give you the work when you can complete it.

Freelancing can give you a lot more flexibility in life that you wouldn’t have with a regular job. While you will most likely be working a day job, you could in the future make freelancing your full-time income and that means that you could go places whenever you want.

Work Where Ever You Want

Because most freelance work is done on a computer or laptop, you will have the flexibility of working from wherever there is a wifi connection. If you want to work from home the first day and the next travel to the other side of the world you can do that and make money at the same time.

Because you will most likely be working, you can use your vacations as a time to relax but if you are just chilling on the beach, you could do some freelancing and get paid.

Turn It Into A Full-Time Income

One of the best things about freelancing is that once you have got a larger client base, you could potentially turn this into a full-time business. This would give you the ultimate flexibility that you are looking for and you wouldn’t have to work a 9–5!

Once you can grow your side-hustle to a scalable business then you can quit your normal job and become a full-time freelancer. There are so many reasons why you would want to do that and if you have your 9–5 then this is for you.
