Freelance is an English term, adapted by companies to describe that worker on their own account. In ancient times mercenaries were called Freelance, these were people without a boss or specific responsibility until the moment in which someone hired them to fulfill a task, these tasks generally consisted of murders and kidnappings. Today the term is more generic, after being coined by English and Spanish writers and also after being adapted to the Oxford and RAE dictionaries. When we refer to a Freelance it is because we will be aware that his boss and his time are his, regardless of the establishment he has, a Freelance worker executes his work in the time in which he considers necessary and opportune.
The worker who is Freelance completely does not have any contact with whoever hires him, the payment of his work is made by electronic methods as well as the guidelines that he must follow are established. The term became stronger with the arrival of the computer age to society, this new way of communicating gave way to new ways of informing, so the career in which it is more common to see the term running is in the journalism. Internet information chains hire people to inquire personally or through the network about certain information, this synthesizes it giving it its technical and personal touch and establishes a new address available on the network to contemplate the news that thewrote and edited.
Freelance workers usually do not have an established place to work, so in a certain part it also represents an investment if the profit allows it, because in the case of many writers, they work from home, so They must pay for the service they use, internet, electricity, food, equipment, among others. It is important to emphasize that this new work modality is a lighter way to earn money, very practical for both bosses and workers, since the saving of space and money is significant.
