A centrepiece of workforce change over the past 20-30 years has been the rise of the independent contractor – the freelancer. It's no coincidence that this rise has occurred in parallel to the global expansion and adoption of the internet. The internet has enabled people to work together, and find one another, whether they are in the same city, or the other side of the world.

Creatives such as graphic designers have long been the poster child of this workforce revolution, but scratch the surface and you'll find an increasing variety of roles being performed within a freelancing framework - from consultant engineers, to article writing, video production and social media marketing.
