How to Becoming aFreelancer？
Freedom is precious and hard-won; it is not achieved overnight, but requires patience and wisdom to attain.Step by step, steadily progressing.
China Communications Construction Group
Construction workers building the highway have almost no free time.
Resign and change careers
To pursue a future of freedom, I resigned from my previous job and joined an online advertising company, starting at the most basic sales position. I was responsible for selling search engine ads on Baidu and Google while simultaneously teaching myself search engine optimization techniques.
Transitioning from Sales to Technical Operations
Begin self-learning Joomla website development, along with search engine-optimized business writing and content marketing skills. Achieve the ability to independently build websites, laying the foundation for transitioning into freelance work.
Taking on my first remote work project
Signed a contract with a Hong Kong trading company to independently handle all online marketing responsibilities, officially transitioning to freelance status while shifting from the Joomla to the WordPress technology stack.
Signing the second remote work client
Signed with Liberty Mutual Insurance China Headquarters, a Fortune Global 500 company, responsible for digital marketing initiatives including SEO and content marketing.
Launching an online education venture
Launching a digital startup, independently developing online education courses and platforms (for the Chinese market), recruiting thousands of students, and helping numerous learners secure employment or pursue freelance careers.
Fully transition to the international market
Given the decline of Chinese websites and search engines, we fully transitioned to the global market in 2024. We signed Hefei SPIDERWAY Lithium Battery Technology Co., Ltd., handling their independent website development, SEO, and content marketing. Within two weeks, we secured the first inquiry. Within one year, we achieved 15,000 pages indexed, with 3-5 daily inquiries.
Replicate more talent of the same type to meet greater market demand.
Successfully signed our second international client—a long-established European model ship manufacturer—to oversee the development and operation of their global website. Simultaneously launched the Freely.work platform, dedicated to recreating the ideal work environment for more like-minded professionals and meeting broader market demands.
Master the skill set to workAnytime, Anywhere
Before achieving financial freedom, the best path for ordinary individuals to pursue freelance work is to master a comprehensive set of skills that enable them to work independently, free from constraints of time and location. These abilities are transferable across industries and regions, applicable for both employment and entrepreneurship, and possess enduring value. Please refer to my skill set:
