A freelancer is a person who undertakes tasks and contracts from businesses and organisations but who is ultimately hired by themselves. You may do so and make money while sitting at home.

And if you are a data analyst, which is an in-demand profession and will grow many folds in the future, then the situation for you will be more lucrative and positive.

Data analysts require excellent computer skills as well as analytical capabilities that enable them to make sense of data points without having any prior understanding of their significance. They also need to be able to evaluate the findings and offer ideas for how to make operations better.

Step 5: Make sure you respond on time, deliver projects on time and maintain a good connection with clients. Once the project ends, take testimonials from clients and put them on your website/ freelancer accounts to attract more clients.

Step 6: Try to work for free for local charities and not-for-profit organisations; this is also the best way to learn and have experience
