If you’re looking to recession-proof your freelancing business, boost your income, or just expand your horizons and start leveraging your strengths, there’s an easy way to do all of this with one simple technique: Go global.
Consider, for instance, that over the last decade, as the world’s media collapsed and started finding ways to reinvent itself, India’s traditional media was booming. Smart freelancers — and there were many — looked to countries outside their own and started bringing in freelance work from economies that were still somewhat stable.
In the globally-connected world we live in today, this can be a huge advantage for young professionals willing to think outside the box. If your own country is facing a downturn, you could easily make a list of all other countries that are not. Even if you’re not in recession, going international gives you a fantastic way to diversify your sources of income, get extra credibility (“I’ve worked with businesses in 60+ countries”) and ensures that market or cultural shifts in one region of the world don’t take down your freelance business with them.
How can you use a connected world to boost your income and find some of that security us freelancers and small business owners so sorely miss? Here are a few ideas. (Click here to tweet these ideas.)
