How Copilot can help start or boost your freelance career

Aspiring freelancers can leverage Copilot’s generative AI capabilities to start or bolster their freelance careers. Let’s look at the ways Copilot can help freelancers find and hopefully land work.

Find your niche

If you don’t already have a niche established, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a freelance career for you. Use Copilot as a research assistant to help identify market trends and see which services are currently in demand and which fields may be oversaturated.

To find your niche, try prompts like these:

• What is the current demand for freelance UX designers in North America?
• I want to become a web developer. What current niches in e-commerce are the most profitable?

Build a portfolio

Before you start searching for projects, you may need a portfolio to show your existing work to prospective clients. Your portfolio might be a social media account, PDF, or website. Copilot can help with many aspects of building a portfolio, including helping you draft a bio, get layout ideas, create content, and even develop a basic website.
