If you’re keen to start freelancing yourself, consider learning SEO or graphic design to meet some of the most in-demand needs.
More and more job seekers are considering the freelance lifestyle. Nearly half, 40% of Gen Zers want to own a business or freelance for their whole career, according to a February 2023 Fiverr survey of 7,121 Gen Zers from around the world.
If you yourself are considering picking up some freelance work — full or part-time — some skills may be more sought after than others. Work marketplace Upwork recently predicted the most in-demand skills for freelancers for 2023, looking at previous freelancer earnings, number of projects worked and other metrics.
Businesses are “not necessarily going to have the expertise they need in-house for every single thing they need to get done,” says Margaret Lilani, vice president of talent solutions at Upwork. “And so being able to tap into a network of independent talent who can parachute in” will be hugely valuable moving forward.Full stack development
