Ahrefs contributor Nick LeRoy has published a comprehensive article on how to become an SEO freelancer based on his lessons learned from 10+ years in the industry.

He says, “I started freelancing back in 2010 to supplement my income from my regular 9–5, but there are many other reasons you might want to go out on your own. Here are the most obvious ones:

  • More freedom
  • Increased income
  • Better work/life balance
  • Experience in industries and or platforms you may not have worked in before

I’ve personally experienced all of those benefits, but the improved work/life balance is perhaps the most significant positive for me. You’ll notice below that my total hours since moving to full-time freelance have actually decreased. That’s because all my freelance hours are billable and not wasted in back to back meetings like in my old “9–5.””.
