If you have a chronic illness and you can’t bear the thought of dragging yourself to work every day for the rest of your life, you have options. Freelancing can be the ideal way for people to manage their chronic illnesses and still earn a decent income. This blog will have information about the following topics:
- Starting your own freelance business without a lot of capital
- Arranging your work schedule around your chronic illness symptoms
- Marketing your freelance services
- Choosing a freelance career that doesn’t aggravate your condition
- Preparing to transition from a full-time or part-time job to a freelance career
- Why working for someone else isn’t always the best option for people with chronic illnesses
- How to improve your time at your job if it’s not the right time for you to break into freelancing
- Managing a business budget
- Networking with other business owners
- …much more
My vision for this site is that it will become a place of refuge for people who are dealing with chronic illnesses and struggling to find a way to earn an income without working 60-hour workweeks. Each post will be open for discussion, and I hope that readers will network with each other, support each other, and share advice about freelancing as well as dealing with chronic illnesses.
In the future, the blog will be added to www.workinginbed.com (site is now under construction) so readers can access articles, e-books, and other resources about working around a chronic illness while still earning an income. Until then, feel free to visit often and get to know each other.
