    India has a lot of innovative and creative people, but the cost to live here is relatively high - about 20% higher than America. Many Indian freelancers choose not to live in cities because it's expensive and they still prefer to work from home. It's also difficult for entrepreneurs or sole proprietors in India since there are no tax incentives for starting your own company, unlike the US. This makes building capital more difficult which is one of the main reasons why freelancing can be an attractive career choice-it does not require as much upfront capital as entrepreneurship does.

    Freelancing in India is not popular at all. There are some people who do freelance work but it's not something which is done widely. If you want to be a freelancer, it would be very difficult for you because there may or may not be many opportunities available to begin with. It's also the case that there are lots of favorable economic factors at play in just about any country which results in an inherent bias towards working for traditional employers rather than freelancing on your own.

    Freelancing is becoming a common practice in India and the pay tends to be good. Clients do not need to put up collateral to hire freelancers and this gives more job opportunities for freelancers. Freelancing in India has been widely accepted as an opportunity by many companies who want experts for work that does not require office based workers such as jobs for software development, graphic design etc., but jobs such as data entry or other data processing cannot be outsourced. Freelancing is considered by them also because of lack of availability of higher qualified IT professionals in the country due to insufficient number of technical institutions which can produce freshers with relevant skillset every year.

    I have been freelancing for a little over a year now and can tell you that there are two types of work that offer the best possibility for financial stability--commissions and bonuses. When you're first starting out, it's common to take whatever jobs available. As time progresses, you should be filling your portfolio with high quality works to make yourself more appealing to potential clients. Commissions are earned when a client has an idea or vision but needs someone professional who can deliver on their ideas--so they hire a freelter. The comission-based business model is typically good for those seeking long term projects as it ensures steady revenue from project release after project release once the initial contract is signed.

    Writer 1. Freelancing in India, if you don't have a relevant degree or you're not going down to the bottom of the pyramid and earning a "living wage," is difficult. The quality of work available out there is questionable, not to mention there's a potential safety net issue with little law enforcement for freelancers who get scammed. The key seems to be that freelancers need to apply themselves locally then branch out globally at their own pace--good luck!

    As India is a country with ever-growing GDP, globalization has created spaces of opportunities for freelancers in the country. Freelancers' websites are gaining popularity, and this indicates how important they are becoming to the Indian economy. While it is difficult for one to become self-confident in front of clients in various domains when one has limited exposure, there exist some basic steps which can be followed that include ƒrst reaching out to people working in similar fields through email or phone call, then getting acquainted with important aspects like website maintenance and customer service related matters before finally beginning an independent career.
