That is literally the definition of. Anything.

[PolarPoint]

Not that easy. First off all you shouldn't be cheated by scammers who claim they will make you a freelancer

[molonski2]

Well over here a " freelance " is a hooker

Not sure how you would go with that one?

You're 41. What's your background? Competency? Interests? Arrest record? Drug history?

[samett35]

I don't understand why you're asking these questions. I'm not going to start a criminal gang. I want to do legal work. I want to run my own business.

No it sounds like you want to be a 1099 independent contractor. You want someone to pay you something for an hour of your time. If you had a business model and a product or skill you were offering you would be a business owner.

For instance I run my own consulting firm. I help investment banks, private equity firms, and hedge funds buy and sell companies. I can work on the valuation side of a deal or the operating side of a portfolio company post deal. I also have manufacturing clients who pay my for strategic thinking and operational improvements to increase earnings. People pay for that sort of knowledge and those skills. I have 20 years of success stories to back it up.

So I'll ask you again because a business owner needs to have something someone is willing to pay for. What are your competencies?

A 1099 contract employee is subject to background checks and drug tests. So how are you with an arrest record and drug history?

What are your skills? How am I supposed to know what type of jobs you are able to do if you don't write your skills?

[Nikki1989]

Most opportunities fall into tech, creative, business, education, and support roles.

What do you KNOW how to do? Google it... "[name] and freelance and remote" and voila.

At 41 I’d start with what I had experience and what I was qualified in … good luck

An easy one to get into is legal videography. Just get notarized and some on the job training, and you can make $50/hr. More in certain areas.

[In_Trance]

No... No. You need to stay exactly where you are and follow the direction you've been given
