Hello fellow Freelancers!
2015 and 2016 has been rough for me.. - I've lost many things and I haven't been able to fully recover from these setbacks.
With that being said, I love freelancing. I love to be my own boss. - But I can't do this anymore. - I need more stability in my life. I need to make sure that I can always pay my bills, my rent and put food on the table. I want to start a family..
That's the reason I will quit being a full time freelancer from January 2017. - And believe me. That's one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to take. - But I cannot continue to live from paycheck to paycheck in the same way I've been doing until now.
These 2 years have been really rough and I've been totally drained out of energy, and I even lost track of myself during this time..
From January 2017, I will work towards a new goal, and I will work towards one goal alone. Stability.
I will always love both Freelancing and SEOClerks, and I will obviously not give up my freelancing dreams.. I mean, I've been a full time freelancer for 5 years already, so I can go back to full time freelancing again in the future.. - But I cannot allow myself to be stuck in this situation for another year or two.
I will work online during my spare time, so you haven't seen the last of me.. But I won't be here to cover your ass all the time. ;)
I wish you all the best of luck!
Best Regards,
hitmeasap

What else is rough is when the employer does not accept your freelance experience/work in a job interview.

1. You know the rule of not putting all the eggs in the same basket. Why have you relied so much on only 2 clients?
- Good question and I can totally see why you or anyone else would ask this question. However, the answer is actually quite simple. First of all, the clients I've worked with made me money on a regular basis. And not only that, I earned a full time income from these two clients, which ultimately enabled me to focus on other things, than money.? - Which I gladly did, as money is far from everything. - That being said, I also worked with these clients for a very long time, so I never relied on these clients for starters, but when you've worked with two clients for more than a year, and payment comes regularly without a single problem.. - Well, you start to rely on it. At least I did.
2. You also know that with your notoriety here (you are an level X5 seller with close to 700 in feedback) you could sell some services and pay to be featured on the front page or at least in the category page. People would certainly buy from you <img title="Full Time Freelancing or 9-5? - I" ve="" made="" my="" decision.'="" alt="Full Time Freelancing or 9-5? - I" data-cke-saved-src="https://www.seoclerks.com/images/emoticon/emoticon-smile.png" src="https://www.seoclerks.com/images/emoticon/emoticon-smile.png" style="max-width: 600px; height: auto; vertical-align: middle; border: 0px; max-height: 600px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; background-color: rgb(244, 244, 244);">
- This is very true and I would love to use my user levels full potential to expand my business and to make more money. Obviously. However, due to the situation I'm in at this time, there's literally no way of doing that right now.
3. If the sales were not good enough you could try to put up more services (especially similar to the more popular ones).
- Similar answer to #2.
4. You could also heavily promote your services, maybe in the same way you have been able to gain so many affiliates?
- I haven't done a single thing for a very, very long time to gain affiliates, but I will slowly start to focus on doing this in the nearest future. - The promoting/advertising doesn't really work when it comes to services in that sense, just sort of, but yeah. You have a good point and I appreciate it, however, as of now, I've made my decision and I can't really come up with anything decent right now, so I'll have to come up with something new/more in the future, and that's exactly my idea.

But also being short to pay all expenses or put your life needs to lower level is another problem we sometime facing even when we do 9-5 work. Nothing is easy any more, but at list you know how much you will get on this and this date, so it's easier to plan and organize life and expenses.
I wish you best of luck in both work, freelancing and 9-5, hope you will find what you looking for to satisfy your needs and relax. Good luck Andre I know that freedom of freelancing is addictive and it's not easy decision to make if you have to switch to 9-5 job. Sometime it's hard to get used to having boss, because in most cases you get someone dumber then you, depending what you going to work...
