Alright, let's talk about high-paying freelance skills. The truth is, you can freelance in just about any industry
0:46
And so, there are going to be some majorly high-paying freelance jobs out there
0:50
But what are some accessible, high-paid freelance jobs that the average person can get
0:55
According to Upwork.com, a leading freelance marketplace, writing is one of the most lucrative fields for freelancers
1:03
As a freelance writer, you might compose newsletters, advertising copy, emails, ebooks, articles, and other types of polished content that grabs readers' attention
1:13
And companies are paying good money for quality freelance writers. According to ZipRecruiter, the average pay for a freelance writer in the US is over $32 an hour
1:24
That's almost $70,000 per year for a full-time freelance writer. If writing isn't your thing, that's fine
1:30
There are plenty more high-paying freelance skills to choose from. For example, freelance web designers make almost double what their office-dwelling
1:38
counterparts do. According to a report from Wave, as a web designer, you'll visually design
1:44
and maybe even code some elements of websites for your client. In-office web designers make about $35 on average
1:51
while freelance web designers typically make as much as $80 an hour or more
1:56
That adds up to over $166,000 over the course of a year
2:02
Not bad. And if you're good on social media, you can also make good money as a social media freelancer
2:08
Freelance social media managers typically post content, engage with followers, and grow social channels like Instagram or YouTube for their clients
2:17
And this kind of work pays really well. A freelance social media manager can make anywhere from $15 to $35 an hour on platforms
2:26
like Upwork or Freelance.com, and can make even more outside of these platforms
2:31
Many social media managers report making $100,000 or more as freelancers. But if you're more of an introvert who doesn't spend much time on social media
2:41
consider the money you could make as a freelance editor. An editor primarily corrects mistakes and improves written pieces by fixing
2:49
grammar and eliminating unnecessary text. Upwork reports editors make as much as $40 per hour on their platform
2:56
And according to some studies, freelance editors can make anywhere from $29,000 to $114,000 per year
3:05

Just leave a comment below. Alright, next up on the list is freelance media buyer
3:58
A media buyer traditionally helps their clients find the best-paid media advertising opportunities
4:03
to generate sales. So, it's not hard to understand that clients are willing to pay good money for freelance
4:09
media buyers who do their job well. In fact, Upwork reports freelance media buyers charge as much as $200 an hour, our highest
4:18
so far. If you worked 40-hour weeks at $200, you'd be racking in a cool $416,000 a year
4:27
Or, you could work just 10 hours a week and still make great money as a freelance media buyer
4:32
Another lucrative freelancing skill is photography. A freelance photographer could work in portraits, photojournalism, photo licensing, school and
4:42
team photos, and lots more. And freelance photographers charge anywhere from $40 to $100, according to some reports
4:50
The average freelance photographer reports an annual income of around $48,000, but the
4:56
top 15% of freelance photographers make double that or more. Similarly, freelance videographers who create marketing videos, short films, commercials
5:06
or editorial videos can make as much as $30 an hour on freelance platforms and much more otherwise
5:13
Some reports say you'll earn an average of $115,000 per year as a talented freelance
5:19
videographer in the U.S. If numbers are more your thing, freelance accountants can get paid good money too
5:25
A freelance accountant typically ensures a person or business is tracking their finances
5:30
in the right way and often assists with taxes and other financial obligations
5:35
In the United States, a freelance accountant makes around $64,000 per year on average both
5:41
on platforms like Upwork or elsewhere. And there you have it, 9 high-paying freelance skills you can start making money from as
