Dallas, United States, 10/17/2021 / Venture X Dallas Park Cities at Campbell Centre /
In 2021, more and more of the workforce are freelancing full-time or as a supplement to their income. At the same time, the popularity of coworking spaces is on the rise. While freelancing has its advantages, there are many difficulties associated with this form of employment. Continue reading to find out how coworking helps to solve many of the biggest hurdles that freelancers face.
Coworking Helps Freelancers Maintain a Healthy Work-Life Balance.
One of the most challenging aspects of being a freelance worker in any industry is that the line between your personal and professional lives becomes increasingly blurred. As a freelancer, there is no paid time off and your income must be enough to cover benefits that a traditional employer would usually help you cover, such as maternity and paternity leave or health insurance.
For freelancers who work remotely, using your home as your office means that you never truly stop working. According to Forbes (1), a healthy work-life balance reduces burnout in the workplace and increases job satisfaction, therefore leading to increased productivity, higher quality work, and overall improved happiness.
By working in a flexible coworking space, freelancers have a distinct location for working that stays separate from their home life.
Coworking Spaces Make a Better Impression on Clients, Boosting Freelancers’ Professional Reputation.
As a freelancer, your professional reputation is always crucial to whether or not you’ll be able to get a paycheck. Particularly if your work involves consultations or meetings with clients, bringing your client to your home is unlikely to make a favorable impression.
Boutique-style Dallas coworking spaces offer a prestigious location that will impress potential clients in a variety of ways:
-
Having a professional business address in a prestigious Dallas location adds prestige and improves a freelancer’s professional image.
-
Access to state-of-the-art conference rooms allows even last-minute video calls to be polished and professional.
-
Showing clients a high-end office space with access to a variety of amenities will communicate that you are serious about your work.
Coworking Is More Affordable than Renting a Traditional Office
As a freelancer, you are responsible for footing all of your own bills. While traditional employers generally provide their employees with any equipment they may need as well as a workspace with limited amenities, freelancers have to cover everything they need on their own.
The last thing a freelancer needs is to be stuck in an overpriced commercial real estate contract on top of that. Because of the nature of freelance work, income is likely to wax and wane, making long, inflexible leasing contracts impractical. Additionally, the cost of rent is only one piece of the total overhead cost of renting a traditional office; you will also have to pay for electricity, WiFi, furniture, cleaning services, and more.
The idea of a coworking space is that all members share the costs of rent and amenities, leading to reduced overall costs for everyone. Venture X provides flexible contracts, allowing you to choose the membership that works best for you.

Coworking Spaces Are Designed to Facilitate Networking.
Another challenge that freelancers frequently face is that they have to be proactive in their search for new work. This is especially true for those who are just starting out as freelancers and do not yet have regular clients or clients who will pass their details onto contacts in need of similar services.
Because coworking spaces are home to a range of professionals looking to harness their benefits, networking made easy through:
-
Common areas
-
Cafes and lounges
-
Networking events
By networking at a coworking space, you will be able to find people in need of your services as well as people who offer services that you might be in need of. This is also a great way to find mentors and people who can answer business questions that you need the answers to.
