I agree that I think it would still exist in some form but in no way with the scope it does now. The internet makes it so easy for people to work from home doing their own thing. Even back in my parents day this would have been a dream...it wasn’t possible to do half the things we can do these days as a freelancer.

Another reason why 'the web' has been so great for freelancing is the ability to string together multiple jobs with ease. Without the web, you'd have to travel to three or four places to meet the client, negotiate pricing and then move to start the work. But in my case, I've negotiated and closed upwards of four new deals on my phone while I was riding the subway home from work. Couldn't pull that off in the 70's. ;)

Absolutely! I’m a mom as well, and have small kiddos - so being able to work from home with the flexibility I have is incredible. I love that I can still be around for my kids but still contribute to my household financially.

You are right that it is not easy to be a freelancer without the benefit of the technology. Most of the freelancers in the olden days were the ambulant vendors and the insurance agents who go from house to house. In fact, my mother had bought an insurance from one agent who knocked on our door. It was a difficult job because you are exposed to the elements and there is also the risk of the criminals when you are roaming the city.

True. Freelancing is a thing ever since but it was very hard to become a freelancer in the past because there were only small opportunities for freelancers as every job were contract based. Now, with the help of the internet, almost anyone can be a freelancer with their skills without worrying about contract terms and most especially receiving much better salary than before.

That is truly very sad. A lot of workers here actually complain about that and that is why our president at the moment created a law to ban contractual jobs. However, the only problem is, not all businesses here are compliant especially those that have connections with prominent politicians and so there are still workers who are enslaved with contracts that are sometimes unfair.

I think it would still progress obviously, but the freelancers themselves would take a serious financial hit. Internet and technology have allowed freelancers to pick up work and jobs FAR outside their local area. Build their brands, and long lasting business relationships also. It's really helped freelancers become major players in the marketplace.

I think it would be very hard to work as a freelancer without the internet because most of the time I am dependent on it regarding on researching some information bout a certain article that I want to make. The use of internet is really advantageous in many ways because it can give us a lot of benefits. I cannot even works with other freelancing sites that I have if I don't an internet connection since I need it to submit articles directly to a certain company or websites

Before people used the internet as much as they do today, freelance writers had to do their research in libraries, others would talk with people who had information they needed, etc. The net has made research a lot easier but even without it when someone badly needed information, they'd find it.

By the way, occasionally when I can't find detailed information about a topic I'm researching instead of buying a book, I visit the local library see if I'll find what I need there.

While it is possible to learn more about anything on the internet, if you want to create something that isn't elsewhere on the net, you'd have to find the information you'll use elsewhere.

It could be in books that are in a library or in old newspapers and magazines. There certainly is plenty that can be gained by anyone if they frequently spent more time in libraries.

I would think freelancing will stay even without internet. But it will suddenly decrease because internet is the primary reason why we can work at home and stable internet connection is the essential requirements in online freelancing. To the freelancer the internet is the honey and butter so having no internet is means, problem.

I also think about how the internet opens up so many international doors for freelancing. Sure, you might find that freelancing would still exist without the internet, but you'd really be limited to clients that you could meet with face to face. The internet makes the world a much smaller place!

You could go old school - find a directory of publications.

In them you'll find out which magazines accept submissions from freelancers. Their contact information is provided. Next step is to write your query letter and send it to editors who you think might be interested in the article you've written or want to write. The only problem is you'd have to spend a lot of money sending lots of letters to editors.

True. The one way you could still make it as a skilled freelancer without the internet is to put a large sum of money into other, older methods of advertising. Like billboards, skywriters, flyers and flyer drops, t.v. ads, radio ads, etc. These things however aren't cheap.

Freelance jobs would still exist without internet but it will be difficult and the freelancers will only get the limited opportunity. We all know the convenience that internet brings to clients and freelancers and without the internet and technology, freelance job sites like Upwork and freeeup will not exist. These are the platforms for clients who want to hire experts and for freelancers who need jobs. With the help of these sites, hiring and getting a job is easier.

I think freelancing was always there as an option to opt out of the people with business and organization. And it was from the start of the civilization. The reason some people always want to go their own way. So it was always something expected. I think it will continue to be there. No matter how people can see the difference with the tech skills. And if they want to work for their own self using it.

The only thing i hate about these forms of advertisement is that they would come at a cost. On the net you don't have to spend much to tell people about your services but offline, unless you are going door to door, meeting prospective clients and telling them about the services you are selling you'd have to spend money on any other advertising materials.

I like the idea of posters though. Can be a good way to acquire new customers quickly.

Wouldn't freelance at that point just go back to being what it was before? Aside from freelance writing and mercenaries, freelance it basically what all artists did to make a living (unless they lucked out and became an artist sponsored by some wealthy family), artists created art until some organization/family/business noticed them and commissioned them to paint portraits, sculpt statues, write songs, etc. and then the artists went back to whatever they were doing beforehand.

For certain artists it wouldn't dent their profits. But for most people it would. If you're in a small town or run a small shop, then all of your customers are local. But other people who have a broader audience, they definitely need the web to maintain connectivity with their customers, and grow their base.

There would be no online freelancing without internet and technologies use for networking. Freelancers would still work offline but with limited and possibly local clients only. For example, a graphics artist would only offer his services to those he can meet personally or through referrals of acquaintances. Or he would be promoting his services through posters and newspapers hoping that people will call him for a job. And possibly most freelancers today would be aiming to get a regular day job to earn a decent income if there is no internet. And the rate of unemployed will be much higher.

The internet makes it possible for everyone to work from home with local and foreign clients. It opened up myriad opportunities to different people regardless of nationality around the world. I'm from the Philippines and many of my countrymen have been given the opportunity to earn big income through online freelancing. Many of them could hardly get a job before. But now they are earning as if they are working abroad. There are others who are working abroad were able to return back home and stayed for good and now are working online. While others have managed to create their own BPO companies and created jobs to other people.

Believe it or not, freelancing existed before the age of the internet. A lot of people, especially the younger generations, feel that the time before the internet was like some sort of dark age where there was no progress and famine and disease plagued the world.

Freelancers still had work, it was just far more limited and localized. As a freelancer, you’d put out ads around town and in the local newspaper that you were providing a certain service. You gave them your phone number and other contact information, and then waited.

Sure it was more complicated than simply creating an online profile, but the career existed.

I had seen freelancers do their thing before the digital technology came around. We had a neighbor who was into buy and sell. He would scour the neighborhood for used items of interest that he could re-sell. We called him “buy-and-sell” because he had been doing that business for a long time. People who need money would sell their electric fan for a cheap price and the freelancer would clean it and even refurbish it so he could sell it for a good profit. The freelancers of yore have to walk around unlike now that we can use the internet for purposes of marketing.

Without internet and technology, online freelance jobs would just be the regular freelance jobs that we've had before the internet and all our technological advancements. Freelancers would be researching the old fashioned way, work would still be available but it would be limited to location, and writers would just have to write using the good old trusted pen and paper. Freelance jobs would still be around even without the internet and technology, just the not so digital form of it.

Internet is a very helpful tool for freelancers nowadays. But not just to freelancers but even to business owners (both big and small businesses), students, part-timers who are looking for additional income, stay at home parents, unemployed, self-employed etc. The internet is really a great help. You can earn money by just looking for available jobs online that suits you best and working on it. It gives more opportunity to people around the world and it gives you job offers from different countries around the world too. Without the internet, I think we cannot have more opportunities like this. Opportunities will be limited.

It would exist in another form but it would be much more difficult to find jobs and communicate with possible customers and employers. Transactions would have to be face to face or only through the phone and it will limit the opportunities available to freelancers.
