Talk:The Online Freelance Artist: How Freelance Artists Benefit in the Digital Community/@comment-27052246-20151101224753

Great topic! When considering freelance artists emotional benefit, perhaps you can consider the "type" of work they are doing such as it being artistic, work from home, contractual, and therefore can be more "fulfilling" than repetitive clerical work. You'd probably want to back that up with some research about "The Creative Class" - a key term for defining this type of work.

Also, maybe check out elance.com and behance.net as platforms where freelancers try to get clients and think about how this process of acquiring customers factors into their work experience (financially and emotionally because it is time consuming).
