According to the American Journal of Public Health research, not all workers had the possibility to change their work to a remote culture like the freelancers. Remote working would be known as the biggest shift in corporate culture amid the covid-19 crisis. But if you have already been working as freelancers or have this idea to change your job to smart work culture, you need to read this freelancer&#8217;s survival guide during a pandemic article.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_any_business_that_hasnt_been_hit_by_the_Covid-19_pandemic\"><\/span><strong>Is there any business that hasn&#8217;t been hit by the Covid-19 pandemic?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Small businesses, service and sales workers, media workers, or transportation workers are some of the occupations that are hit hardest by the pandemic. Although the negative impact of coronavirus spares none of these workers, the effect could be the same for freelancers, particularly creative writers, freelance copywriters,\u00a0 speakers, and marketers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img class=\"wp-image-3527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfectlancer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/433-1-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"freelancer\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Some of the clients are postponing the projects. Business managers are more concerned about the main and more essential services compared to less essential ones. In the worst scenario, there would be also the possibility to have no returned call from any clients.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But you can look on the bright side. It\u2019s not the end of the world. There are many companies that have started to make some transformations regarding remote work culture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For instance, many companies are looking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectlancer.com\/mobile-developer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"hire mobile app developers (opens in a new tab)\">hire mobile app developers<\/a> to expand their online presence as a way to recover their traditional customers&#8217; decreases due to the pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Many smart business owners and local businesses found out the importance of having a strong presence on the internet and social media platforms.

They found that some of these business managers started to recruit their employees in a way that they would use remote work as a mutual \u201ctest drive,\u201d to identify, assess, and connect with prospective candidates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The search trend to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectlancer.com\/hire-freelance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" hire a freelancer (opens in a new tab)\"> hire a freelancer<\/a> is positive since the beginning of the Covid-19\u00a0 pandemic and many companies prefer or have no choice but to hire remote workers and freelancers.

You can start by scanning your social media networks. In addition, joining freelancing platforms can expose you to broader potential employers for free.\u00a0 For example:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Facebook always offers some groups in a variety of fields and expertise in joining them.<\/li>\r\n<li>Use Twitter and LinkedIn with the specific hashtag of your relevant expertise.<\/li>\r\n<li>Search on your previous project\u2019s clients lists.

They could see that they lost their current project. One of the most concerns of a freelancer in any field would be the next gig service or project. They are worried that when would be the next time that they will have signed a contract? You can start to be diversifying your services. For example:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>If you are a voice-over freelancer, you can also try to participate in narration projects. If you are a product designer, you can also be a logo designer or vice versa.<\/li>\r\n<li>Start to look at your existing skills and expand them or try to find out how you can apply them to a new market or gig services.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_your_own_market\"><\/span><strong>Be your own market:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As a freelancer amid the crisis, you need to be your own voice.

By this email, you can offer them your discount services.<\/li>\r\n<li>You need to have a limited timeframe for your offer and services.<\/li>\r\n<li>Try to be a generous freelancer bout your services.

There are some days or weeks or even months when you have no projects in your hand. Nowadays, you could face this fact even more than before. Because of this, you need to have a plan for your expenses. For example:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Calculating the minimum amount of money that you need to have for each month.<\/li>\r\n<li>Put your expenses in order and provide a list for them in which you define your priorities.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_clear_about_your_strengths_and_weaknesses\"><\/span><strong>Be clear about your strengths and weaknesses:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This period of life could be a good opportunity to make a brief list of your strengths and weaknesses.
