Top 6 YouTube Channels For Aspiring Freelancers

The more you learn, the more you earn.

Freelancing is very similar to business.

The secret to accelerating your freelance business is upgrading your skills regarding your services from time to time. Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished freelancer, it’s highly recommended.

However, within a sea of paid courses, e-books, podcasts promising to teach you freelancing it can be hard to navigate, especially for a newbie freelancer, which resource is the best.

In the past few years, YouTube has emerged as one of the best platforms to master almost any skill. This educational platform is a hub of knowledge where learning meets fun. Now whether you want to learn from zero or brush up on your freelance skills, I believe, without a doubt, that YouTube has to be the most reliable resource out there.

You will agree that click baits are pretty common on YouTube. A downside for keen learners finding authentic content. Therefore, I took out some time to find the best YouTube channels that offer the most authentic freelance content. And guess what? I did come across some awesome channels.

In this post, I will help you find the top 6 YouTube channels that make freelance learning easy and fun. Let’s get started!

YouTube vs Other Tools

Since the past few years, people have shown a higher preference for visual learning over other educational resources like print books. I, too, personally prefer content available on YouTube as it is straightforward and easily digestible.

Moreover, visual learning brings an element of engagement that I believe reading doesn’t offer when it comes to freelancing content.

Lastly, it’s free! Do I need to say more?

However, it’s my personal opinion. If you think that YouTube is not for you then you can go for other education tools. There are pros and cons to every learning tool, what matters is that you stick to one that fits your requirements.

Bonus Tip

Save up your time and energy with the playlist feature that YouTube offers. Every YouTuber I’ve mentioned has playlists to categorize videos based on the topic.

You can also set up your personalized playlist. Just search for your service or a particular topic regarding it, select the videos that best explain that topic, put them in your personalized playlist, and you’re good to go.

Next time you want to watch a video, it’s just one click away. Thank me later!

Finishing Up

Acquiring knowledge from the right resource is very important. Freelancing content on YouTube is gold. Why? Because it’s easily accessible and free. So why not take its full advantage?

I hope this post was helpful for all aspiring freelancers.
