Branding is key. Freelancers with strong online presence, thought leadership, and consistent content can command higher fees. As LinkedIn reports, 81% of hiring managers look for evidence of expertise before hiring freelance talent. By shaping demand, freelancers act like their own marketing departments — positioning themselves strategically in the market.
