by Startacus Admin

If you're thinking about self-employment and working for yourself, here are a few of the sectors that might be worth considering
There are some people out there who are just not made for working in an office for other people. If you think that you will want to be your own boss, there are several industries that you can ultimately aim for. Here are some of the areas that you should think about.

Accounting
Every business will need to have an accountant. This is a crucial job that must be done correctly so people know exactly how their business’s finances are. While big corporations have in-house accountants, smaller businesses often outsource to self-employed accountants. Working smart and with relevant accounting programs like BTC accounting software and Receipt Bank for the likes of recording clients expenses, it is possible to create a reasonably lean but very effective accountancy operation.

Writing
Freelance copywriting and journalism are two massive industries with a lot of crossover. If you have a way with words, you might want to look into some of the opportunities out there for writers. Many websites allow you to submit articles to them and if they are published you might get a small fee. This is a great way to build up a good portfolio of work that could land you higher clientele and even more work. Whether you wish to aim more towards journalism and creating think-pieces with the potential to go viral, or you want to lean towards copywriting and working alongside top brands, there are plenty of avenues to explore.
Fitness

These are just five industries that you should look into if you are aiming to become self-employed. If you feel like you work best on your own and not under someone else, it could prove to be one of the best career moves you could make.
