Freelancing is one of the hottest jobs you can get today: no fix work schedule, no boss and you get paid for what you work, no more, no less. But how can you turn online freelancing into a successful venture? Christie Halmick is one of the people who managed to achieve that. Christie was an active graphic designer and writer, for about ten years. She wanted to reach a new level of professional development and tries to obtain a degree in journalism. After getting her degree, she found a job as a graphic designer, but the call of journalism was stronger, so she took a job as a magazine director. It was the perfect opportunity to combine her passion for writing with photography, editing skills and design.

Even if she managed to find a job that suited her ambitions, Christie soon realized that there was not enough time for a personal life. It seemed impossible to continue the work she loved and enjoy quality time with her family. Therefore, Christie decided to quit her job and start working as a freelancer. In time, she managed to form a consistent portfolio and build a long list of customers; it was enough for her to support the family and enjoy free time.

Freelancing was for Christie Halmick the perfect opportunity for building a successful business and achieved that perfect balance between her work and family life. After all, isn’t this we are all look for?
