So far based on my observations on trends in 2018, I can say that freelance jobs would appreciate this coming 2019. As we can see in the past few years, one of the most in demand jobs are business outsourcing. Through this trend, I can see that freelance jobs would really appreciate in 2019

I agree. It's a trend now to just hire workers online from overseas than employing a physical employee. It's cheaper and saves the employer lots of money and resource by doing this. Outsourcing jobs is going to be a big trend in 2019 for sure. Everyone wants to work at the comfort of their own homes than dealing with the commute of going to work.

I agree that the number of freelancing opportunities will increase. The way we work is completely changing. Companies realizability that the cost of freelancing is cheaper as compared to hiring someone when you don't know how long you will have a business. I think though that competition for these jibs will be fierce as more freelancers are coming online are willing to work for peanuts. Trend is positive and negative.

I think freelancing as an industry is still growing and I hope that 2019 will see more expansion too. I think many of us look to freelancing as something that does give us flexibility to set our own hours and work for ourselves rather than for a terrible boss. For those reasons I think freelancing makes logical sense!

More people are getting in touch and educated about freelancing jobs. So I think, it will appreciate. Since technology are now much easier to have, more people will take it as an advantage to earn some money from it. 2018 is the year when I learned more about freelancing and it is the year when I decided to make good use of it. I think that freelancing is not at its peak already, and there is a big chance that it will still rise up next year.

I think that freelancing jobs would tend to appreciate more in the year 2019 as many people now are interested to have it as it is a good source of an extra income or a full time job for those people who have some great skills online.

More people are starting online businesses or existing businesses that yet don't have websites are launching websites to promote their businesses.

Many of these new web owners will hire content writers to write articles or blog posts for them. So I'm sure that in 2019, there'll be more freelance work for writers and SEO experts.

For writers who wish to earn more, learn SEO so you can charge more for your services.

Considering the fact that outsourcing is cheaper instead of hiring full time staff, many businesses will in future choose to outsource most of the work that doesn't require:

-somebody to be in the office.
-talk to clients or customers face to face.

That too might change when Virtual reality technology is perfected.

I think freelance jobs will continue to rise up as time goes by, I feel like maybe time will come that almost all the people are in their home doing jobs online, not only did they have more time to spend with their family, but the flexibility of most online jobs is one of the many advantages of having a job online also you have the freedom to apply to many different websites that pays, you're not underpaid like most of the 9-5 jobs if you really put in the effort and find a really good company to work with.

Freelancing jobs are always warranted, especially because of the variety of jobs that are available. I think they will continue to rise and the amount of freelancers with them. People simply prefer to work at home nowadays, because everyone keep believing that their "offline" jobs aren't paying them fairly.

I hope that it will still have a room for everyone since the number of workers is increasing. It will be a challenging episode to competent among others. I am also thinking that in some instances there will be more scam company exist. One should take consideration to look for a legitimate company. Beware.

Let's be honest, our demography grows, and it grows in such countries where the economy is unstable and people don't trust their own goverment (myself I'm from such country, with the exception of demography not growing). People just favor online jobs, because they feel safer.

I am not certain about a place that's safer these days. Offline or online has advantages and disadvantages. I think, people intend to work online because it serves as place for another job opportunity. Mostly, like to grab that chance to fill in. With the increasing demands of work online scammers will be rampant and visible. Either ways, we just need to be careful.

I believe one of the reason of the continuous growth of online or home based jobs are the worsening problems in traffic. Everyone were affected by this mammoth problem. Employer and employees loses so much because of this. Online jobs are great opportunities to avoid problems in traffic. Because of this trend, the rise of demands in online jobs will continue to rise this 2019.

Yeah! I also want to share something with you. I suggested to a friend of mine to do freelancing as well, and he refused because he claims them to be unstable. Yet he found himself a job, which barely pays him, keeps him up for 12 hours working. And also, he already managed to get accused of theft/lack of budget (he is working in a shop). So basically the guard won't even let him leave the shop to go home. How terrible is that?

I believe freelance jobs will appreciate. More people are using the internet every day and more people are becoming aware that they can have jobs done at very low rates by freelancers online. The convenience of getting a job done with just a few keystrokes on the computer is a great selling point and the assurance that they can get a refund if they are not satisfied with the job submitted will ensure that more freelance jobs are available in 2019

Freelancing jobs would really increase in the coming years as long as the problem in traffic is not being address and given a solution by our government. People would surely divert their attention in working as a freelancer as it saves time and money instead of traveling and be stuck in the heavy traffic from going to our respective works. As a freelancer they can work at their own convenience without the need of going out for their respective houses and most especially they can have time for their kids and family after doing their freelancing works which is really great to have.

For me, the biggest attraction of freelance jobs would be the flexibility of time and the fact that you won't suffer traffic. These two are definitely part of the reason why people would go for this. If you are good with your craft or skill then, your income would be much better than most regular jobs.

I feel really guilty sometimes whenever I am not able to cater my freelancing sites even though there are some time that I am available to do it. I think it is about time to make some changes and focus on things that makes my interest and benefits me most. I am hoping that I could gain a favorable earnings on my freelancing sites as I would try to indulge more time and effort from working on it.

The internet is exploding and the growth is continuous so what we are having now will be more next year. For the freelancers I guess the jobs will also multiply but the opportunity will depend also on the growth of the number of freelancers. But I guess freelancing is here to stay because the more business there is in the internet, the more work there will be and freelancers will fill in the gap.

I am thinking to work as a full time freelancer during my day off mode in my offline work because I really enjoyed it very much.

I believe freelancing jobs will appreciate in 2019. More people are becoming more open now to freelancing and working online because they realized that it can give them a more balanced life. They can be able to earn money at the comfort of their own homes with their family and children. Some are even earning more than they were receiving before in employment. Freelancing might be difficult at the beginning but when you get to be more exposed and learn more about freelancing, that’s the time that you will be earning good and be able to benefit more from it. It also takes patience and a load of effort and time. Patience is the key.

I think freelance jobs will be appreciated in 2019. More people have discovered the freelancing world, some may still stay at their office job and work as part-timer in freelancing, some even quit the office job and concentrate in freelancing jobs. There are more opportunities out there as companies are outsourcing the projects more than before. There are also many small companies or businesses coming up, and they would prefer to look for freelancers to help them with some jobs. So, I think there will be more online jobs coming up.

The appreciation or depreciation of freelance work depends on the individual freelancer. I have several friends who are successful freelancers. Once they got the taste of working from home and being their own boss and realizing they could earn consistently from that type of work, they didn't want to stop. 2019 is no different from any other year. As long as there are work opportunities for freelancers and the freelancer finds those job opps, it is very likely many doors will be opened for them.
