💙“First, I want to feed my family delicious meals”──My first step as a freelancer, starting from zero skills

Good evening. I am Nanami Gigi.
In this article, I will write about “First, I want to feed my family delicious meals”──My first step as a freelancer, starting from zero skills. Please note that the following is strictly my personal opinion.
※This article was written with the help of ChatGPT to articulate my thoughts.

“I want to work freely,” “I want to live a life not tied to a specific place.”
Those words started to feel a little more realistic when
**“I want to feed my family delicious food”**,
a quiet but strong desire, began to sprout within me.

The first step: The day I registered for CrowdWorks

I want to start something as a freelancer. But I have no skills or qualifications.
Even so, I decided to start with what I could do, and I registered for a site called
CrowdWorks.

What I challenged myself with first was,

• Writing (blog posts and reviews)

• Experimental cooperation (simple surveys and verification tasks)

• Providing testimonials for matching apps, etc.

The reward wasenough money to buy lunch for one person.
But I still haven't forgotten the sense of accomplishment I felt at that time.

Motivation: Who are you working for, and what are you working for?

The first face that came to mind wasn't my own, but my “family's”.
“I want to feed them delicious meals.”
That desire is what drove me toward my “first job”.

Of course,I also had the desire to acquire skills for myself.
However, I feel that the desire to do something for others is even the starting point of working as a freelancer.

Looking ahead

From here on out, there will surely be failures and anxieties.
But I want to be someone whocan earn money with my own strength and turn my gratitude into something tangible.
I want to earn a lot of money and give back a lot.

I may not be able to call myself a “full-fledged freelancer” yet,
but I believe that because I took this first step, I will surely be able to see the next view.

Conclusion: What I want to tell you

You, who are reading this note,
might also be feeling anxious, wondering, “Can I do it?”

But it's okay.
If you take that first step, the world will truly change.
And the desire to “earn for someone else's sake” will surely keep you moving forward.
