Freelance plan: Freelance

Freelance marketplaces have globalized competition for some jobs, allowing workers in high- and low-income countries to compete with one another.^[32] According to a 2016 study by the McKinsey Global Institute, 15% of independent workers used online marketplaces to find work.^[33]
These marketplaces, including Fiverr and Lyft, have been criticized as exploiting workers.^[34][35]
Legal aspects
Many periodicals and newspapers offer the option of ghost signing, when a freelance writer signs with an editor but their name is not listed on the byline of their article(s). This allows the writer to receive benefits while still being classified as a freelancer, and independent of any set organization. In some countries this can lead to taxation issues (e.g., so-called IR35 violations in the UK). Ghost signing has little bearing on whether a writer is a freelancer or employee in the US.
Freelancers often must handle contracts, legal issues, accounting, marketing, and other business functions by themselves. If they do choose to pay for professional services, they can sometimes turn into significant out-of-pocket expenses. Working hours can extend beyond the standard working day and working week.
