Should You Use AI or Stay Out of Business as a Freelancer?

Hola, Unfxcked Freelancer👋🏼!

Welcome to another week of getting unstuck, taking control, and going pro as a freelancer. In case you missed my last newsletter, see the full archive of previous issues here.

In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly growing, businesses must adapt or risk being left behind.

There is no other option.

With McKinsey & Company predicting that 70% of businesses will embrace artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030, it’s not just a trend; it’s the future we’re stepping into.

And to be honest, I can’t help but be excited about what lies ahead, especially for freelance businesses.

This is why I’ve come up with something I call ‘Vision 2030′, where freelancers flourish by utilizing AI, not just for the sake of using technology, but to:

• simplify tasks,
• save precious time,
• solve more problems, and of course,
• make more Dollars.

I strongly believe that there will be two kinds of freelancers at the end of this decade; those that are fully utilizing artificial intelligence and those that are out of business.

But the big question is:

By 2030, which of these kinds of freelancers would you be?

If you ask me, I will tell you to be one of the freelancers who integrate AI into their work, and here’s why.

Firstly, AI is not just the future; it is now and the future. Currently, there are several user-friendly tools available and designed for people like you and me. New tools are being released every day. Futurepedia alone has over 5000 AI tools in over 50 categories like copywriting, image generation, and video editing. This shows that artificial intelligence is here, now. And it will only continue to advance in the future.

Secondly, with the advancement of artificial intelligence work has become more efficient. Simple repetitive tasks that consume your time can now be automated, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional results to your clients. For instance, as a Graphic Designer, you can easily resize images to fit various social media platforms using a tool like Canva Pro. This way, you will be able to save valuable time and focus on results.

Thirdly, AI makes it possible to solve problems easily. Clients come with complex problems sometimes, but with AI, you can easily find some answers to these problems. For Instance, as a Data Analyst, you can use Tableau AI to understand data, break down data, analyze data, and act on data. In this way, you will have the proper tools to make well-informed decisions for your clients.

Lastly, AI helps you make more money. Elon Musk once said, “You get paid in direct proportion to the difficulty of problems you solve.” This means that the more problems you solve using AI, the more dollars you make. By speeding up your work processes, boosting your efficiency, and delivering exceptional results, your earning potential goes up. And this way, you remain in business.

I’m sure you don’t want to be left behind just because you are not utilizing AI.

Big companies are already adapting. Why won’t you adapt?

In the end, it’s not just about using AI; it’s about integrating technology meaningfully into your clients’ projects, ensuring it aligns with your clients’ values and produces excellent results.

That’s a wrap, Unfxcked Freelancer!
