Whether you realise it or not, we\u2019re living in the Golden Age of the freelancer. The Internet, home computers, and online education have combined to create an incredible moment in time when just about anyone can launch a freelance career in almost any field, either as a primary way of earning a living or as a supplement to their incomes.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

What this means in practice is that activities and skills that would have once been considered hobbies can now be leveraged into fully-fledged careers \u2013 often without the formal training or certification that would have once been an absolute requirement. A great example of this new world is interior design. Where once even being a part-time or freelance designer required a degree and training, in the modern age you can leverage your interior design ideas into a new career immediately.<\/p>\n

Start with Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your first step, if you think you\u2019d like to work part- or full-time as an interior designer is to develop your ideas. The easiest way to do this is to use your own home as a living brochure. Architects will often design and build their own private homes where they live with their families as a way of demonstrating their skills and their ideas \u2013 you can do the same.<\/p>\n

\"Coming<\/p>\n

One way to spread your interior design ideas and build a brand is to celebrate every room of your house with a re-design and a party. Do your most creative and exciting work in each room of your home, and every time you finish, set up a reception and invite everyone. Remember, every one of your neighbours and connections is a potential client \u2013 don\u2019t be shy! And be proud \u2013 show off your design, discuss the ideas behind them, and play tour guide.<\/p>\n

Work for Free<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You should consider offering your services for free (or at cost) to a likely candidate as a way of establishing your reputation \u2013 but don\u2019t do it for just anyone. Choose your pro bono<\/em> project carefully:<\/p>\n
