Freelancers are a new generation of full of
renegade independent artisans, business owners and craftsmen who have chosen to
work on their own terms. Leaving behind the more traditional 9-5 type of
organizations, freelancers are doing it for themselves and loving it!
When you run your own business, you give
yourself the freedom to work when and where you want. You also have the freedom
to be agile enough to customize your business to suit your needs and the needs
of your customers.
Although the freelance business lifestyle may
seem like a dream to many, it still requires the same amount of effort, skill
and self motivation as any other typical industry. There is often no
established business infrastructure for freelancers to rely on so they have to
create their work environment and systems from scratch.
It's a huge responsibility to get your
business organized well enough to function efficiently. Whether you are working
remotely using
your laptop, or have established a home office type of
base, you still need to consider all of the same aspects of a larger more
complex business.
As your business grows and the number of
clients increases, you will be in greater need of reliable and accessible file
storage. Adding more memory to your existing system with external hard drives
can be expensive, so one of the best alternatives is to invest in Cloud storage
to give yourself lots of room to grow. The benefits of using the Cloud as a
freelancer can make all the difference in how easily you can organize your
business for efficiency.
Accessibility
The Cloud can be accessed anytime from
anywhere. There is no need to worry about having the right USB drives, manually
organizing your clients files or worrying about losing any of your data.
Anywhere that you have an internet connection, you can have instant access to
all of your current and backed up files in just seconds. There is no need to
take any external drive systems with you if you are on the go. That keeps your
system streamlined and portable.
Collaboration
Freelancers have the ability to conduct most
of their business online, thanks to current technologies. There is no need to
even have in-person meetings anymore with the convenience of Skype and other
video call programs. With Cloud storage, you have the ability to extend access
to any of your saved files to your colleagues or clients without having to send
a physical file!
This can save you a ton of time spent trying
to coordinate your schedule to accommodate clients and coworkers.
Storage Size
Cloud storage is more than just a convenient
filing solution, it is also one of the most cost-efficient methods of backing
up all of your files and data. If you are looking to continually back up your
growing business, you will spend much more on external drives than you will on
increasing the size of your Cloud storage. As your business grows, you always
have the option to expand your online storage at much lower prices than
expensive hardware.
