I’m putting together a concise explainer that answers, in plain language, “What exactly is a freelancer?” The piece should outline how freelancers differ from full-time employees, typical project-based engagement models, and the practical benefits for both clients and independent professionals. Please write in an engaging, reader-friendly style that someone with no prior knowledge of the topic can grasp quickly. Accuracy, clear structure, and smooth flow are more important than word count, but the final draft should feel thorough without rambling. Deliverables • Polished, proof-read article delivered in an editable Google Doc or Word file • A short meta description (150–160 characters) that could accompany the piece online I’ll review for clarity, factual soundness, and overall readability before sign-off.
