There's a big difference between being paid a hourly wage and being paid by client
Wage doesn't motivate you to work faster or harder you'll get the same
The second motivates you to work faster harder and better cus it scales

It only truly scales if you're being paid a commission of the profit you drive for your client.
Otherwise you just end up working harder and longer hours than you would have anyway at a 9-5.
This! And it's exactly how I operate now and have for the last 7 years. It was a big switch for me the day I did it but I'll never go back.
Yep, it's a switch many don't feel confident enough to make but it's 100% worth it.
Get to the level where you're working with larger clients, talk about their current revenue when onboarding them and from there you can come up with a rev share model for new business you bring in on top of that.
That is true, I ran out of characters to write that part, but a commission is the way to scale the second.
Spoken like a true copywriter, I need to learn that skill too
I'm still in the hourly wage part even though I know it doesn't scale
What sort of client work have you been doing?
Copywriting as well, or something different?
I'm working for a consultancy company as a software engineer, iOS dev, only have 5 months of experience, getting paid monthly around $1k, which is low, but high for my country
Only client work I did was selling door to door for a few weeks
iOS devs are in demand.
I'm sure you will have no problem picking up work over on Upwork if you want to try and build your freelance portfolio too.
Good luck with it :)
I've looked into it, I think I still need more experience to actually do it, and I would still be limited by hours per day
I'm thinking about trying to build an app for myself and launch it on the iStore, this plan scales with users 🤷♂️
