What are some specializations this career path can lead to?
People who are working in freelance roles can be as specialized as they want to be, but they can be quite broadly scaled, you know? So, I do know people who are still doing design and coding of their own sites, and doing all of that you know, as a one person shop. But I certainly know people who are very niche. So there's people who just focus on the content strategy and they might have a team of other people who they bring on on bigger projects to even just develop the content. So there might be people who are specifically developing WordPress modules for example, you know, they get used by other developers. There's all kinds of different niches you can get into. So I do recommend that people, you know, follow their hearts and dig right into what matters most to them. because there's plenty of work to go around.
