Jenni, great article. Some of the details you highlighted are very interesting and insightful. Freelancing is challenging and many people struggle with it. But there's an opportunity for everyone to acquire, improve or monetize their skills. I tried to compile several of those "open doors" here - https://medium.com/the-innovation/23-platforms-to-monetize-your-skills-by-solving-problems-d9be203cca5f.

Hope this helps who's looking for freelancing opportunities.
