More and more often you can hear such a phrase: "I work as a freelancer!" And although just a dozen years ago such a profession did not exist in Russia, today it is not so rare. Therefore, for those who are wondering: “Freelancers - who are they?” - and this article is written.
A bit of history
If you translate this word into Russian, then the answer to the question: "Freelancers … Who are they?" - there will be a strange combination that sheds little light on the mentioned question. After all, the English word “freelancer” means “free spearman” or “hired, free spearman”. We also cannot define the word as a detachment of neologisms, because it arose back in the days of W alter Scott. For the first time "freelancer" appears in his novel Ivanhoe. Here's a new word for you! Indeed, it was originally the medieval mercenaries who were called "freelancers". Who are these, our modern "free spearmen"?
Modern meaning
It would be more correct to call such a worker a "freeworker", since spearmen are nowpractically non-existent. The first part of the word means "freedom, will" in translation. That is what is fundamental. So, freelancers - who are they? You can answer briefly: these are people who work remotely, for whom there is no obligation to personally visit the workplace (office, office) and a clear work schedule. Some in the explanations indicate that freelancing implies a temporary amount of work. However, this is no longer an indisputable fact. Today, there are a lot of Internet exchanges, sites where long-term contracts are concluded with freelancers, "free spearmen" can be registered at the place of residence as a private entrepreneur or individual entrepreneur, pay taxes, and so on.
Free Artist
Even before the penetration of the Internet into all spheres of our lives, "free artists" began to appear - people of creative professions who did not want or could not serve in any particular place. And they were not only people involved in the fine arts, that is, not only artists or sculptors. This also included writers and poets, musicians and composers, singers, dancers, architects and representatives of many other professions. Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to create only for the sake of art. And it is impossible to be sure that your work will be in demand, bought out and will give a good, and most importantly, stable income. And often the geniuses who set foot on this path died in poverty, without knowing the real glory and without receiving the recognition of the people. Perhaps the most stable was the position occupied by the journalista freelancer with whom some kind of contract was concluded.
Stability of current freelancers
But time passes and everything changes, often for the better. Today, you don't have to be a genius to become a freelancer. It is enough to know your business perfectly, be able to work on the Internet and be a responsible person. You can offer through the Internet or a newspaper the services of a book designer in an editorial office, printing house or a private person, provided that there is artistic talent. You can contract to perform proofreading work or provide translation services - if knowledge of the language allows. A freelance programmer, website creator and developer, administrator and moderator, rewriter and copywriter are extremely in demand today. Even without knowing anything at all, you can become a freelancer and earn some money just by regularly answering various questionnaires on the Internet or simply “poke” buttons, going to these sites in order to increase their attendance. It is difficult to agree that this work is not difficult. But a regular income, even a small one, will not hurt anyone.
