I get a lot of questions from people who are thinking about quitting their day job to become a freelancer. And one of the things they often ask about is the pros and cons of working as a freelancer in the e-learning sector.
Since I've never worked as a freelancer, it's hard for me to give them any practical advice.
So I thought I'd reach out to you fine people to see what you like and don't like about freelancing.
Just to echo Ashley's comment about freelancing being "location independent".
I have spent the past 2 weeks working remotely from Mexico. All my clients knew this was happening, I brought my laptop and have been able to work nearly seamlessly. We communicated by skype, zoom, text (I took my phone to simplify things) and I kept things updated via PM tool and email.
This was always part of my plan, to be able to work from anywhere and I wanted to test it with shorter period of time.
well working as a freelancer is good but there are two factors impact the work process like what type of project you pick for work, the irrelevant project creates bad review if you did not deliver good work as a client want.
the second most important thing is that if you are working as an employee in an organization and doing freelancing beside than it will harmful for you because any organization doesn't want it.
so compare your both work and do the same, but yes I m definitely sure that it will be a great opportunity if you are able to convert your freelance work with your own startup.
because you learn a lot of things from the various project and the capacity of a juggle with multiple projects gives you an independent workstyle in different formats whether it type of web or app development.

That's awesome! While I'm not a freelancer, I work remotely which allows me to go on work-cations as well and it's so magical :)
Good question!
