    Has brexit affected you as a freelancer?

    I am sure that if you have watched the news recently, then you would have heard of Brexit. On the 23rd of June, the United Kingdom held a referendum to vote on whether they should leave or remain in the European Union. The results came out that 52% of the people voted to leave the EU. Brexit means Britain exits which is a phrase short for saying Britain is leaving the EU.

    Has Brexit affected you in any way as a freelancer?

    After the referendum, the pound has dropped significantly and I sell services online for US dollars due to marketplaces and customers using it. Since the pound dropped, I managed to get more money when I convert the money back into pounds so I benefited from that.

    Actually i'm not affected by Brexit so far, and hope my freelancing career will stay stable as is now. Maybe in the future we will see some changes, and hope to see only good changes.

    I can't say that I've noticed a slight bit of difference to be honest. Things are about the same as they used to be or always have been before the leave. I think that applies to the general working family as well and I've said that from the start that people wont notice a difference in things like the prices of things or the exchange rate. I ain't going to lie, I've never really fully understood it anyway and I think the majority of people who voted to leave didn't really fully understand what the implications of leaving would be either they just wanted to leave because they thought that's what we should do. But the way I see it, but I think we should have just stayed in. David Cameron wanted to stay in and he knew about it better than anyone else and had a good reason for that and knew what the implications of leaving would be. Yet the majority voted out even though it was extremely close. Just because the majority voted to leave doesn't mean that it was the right thing to do. The majority can still be wrong. But maybe it was the right thing to do. As of yet, I think it's still too early to say whether we should or shouldn't have left the EU. In time we'll find out.

    I haven't seen much differences yet. Everything is going quite the same as it was going before Brexit took place. I think we need to wait for some time to see the actual effect of Brexit for freelancer and outsourcing market.

    No it has not affected me, and I hope it won't. I cannot understand the reasoning behind their decision to leave the EU to be honest and what worries me is that other countries may be interested to do the same. That would be problematic maybe, as it will lead to a much bigger effect. I am not much into economics but I guess it will lead to various issues if a number of countries decide to leave the EU.

    It may be a bit too early to detect if it actually effects the country where you live in. As an online income earner, or freelancer, or whatever type of label you want to use, I can honestly say that it hasn't effected me yet. This could change in the future, as with anything else. I always say, don't put all of your eggs in one basket. That means basically to look for other opportunities, invest, and strive to be better.

    It seems the internet will create an independent business area, even if major political decisions are created by countries...
