Freelancers’ quotes on how freelancing changes their lives at isahit!

At isahit, we're tackling the digital divide and believe that the future of work is freelancing. This form of work offers autonomy and freedom, allowing freelancers to focus on life projects and complement their income. Remote data annotation is an ideal job for freelancers. In this summer edition of the newsletter, discover the testimonials of our labelers who have taken advantage of their experience at isahit to succeed in their projects, finance their goals, develop new skills and gain self-confidence as freelancers.

??♂??FLEXIBILITY OF FREELANCING / AUTONOMY

Freelancing offers great flexibility for everyone: short contracts, flexible working hours, no major skills required, no commuting or hidden costs (transport, childcare, etc.). Here's how the HITeuses have capitalized on this work organization:?

• Conceptia, Benin?????: “Freelancing is relevant to me because it gives me a break from the daily routine, allows me to work at my own pace, work anywhere in the world and to leverage my skills and ambitions, while developing my organizational skills.“
• Débora Sandrine, Benin?????: “Freelancing allows me to work from home and earn a decent living, without forgetting my family, as long as I can organize myself well. This flexibility is very important, especially when you're a woman with young children.”

???A COMPLEMENTARY INCOME

We see freelancing as an opportunity to build up a complementary income, in order to finance a fulfilling life project: entrepreneurship, financing studies (in 2022, 42% of labelers working with isahit were students). Two young women from our community testify:?

• Augustine, Nigeria?????: ”As a single mother, isahit offered me the opportunity to earn money while taking care of my child. My goal was to leave isahit having achieved something significant, and now I have! In February, I opened a grocery store!”
• Bernadette, France ????: ”I joined isahit in order to finance a training course in proofreading. I was able to earn a few hundred euros a month, which enabled me to start this ?training course in 2024. With isahit, I've appreciated the flexibility of being able to work when I'm available, once my first skill test have been validated.”

?????NEW SKILLS AND SELF-CONFIDENCE

Isahit isn't just a platform for freelance projects. Our ambition is to create a complete ecosystem enabling people to train for tomorrow's professions, while gaining self-confidence and autonomy…

• Christiane, Benin?????: ”Isahit encourages people to learn through the “Isahit Digital Academy”, our partnership with OpenClassrooms and the various projects in which we participate. These courses have enabled me to develop skills in a different field from my basic training, enhancing my resume and fueling new career ambitions!”
• Hamy, Madagascar?????: ”Isahit is also a community in which I've been able to grow and develop my skills and professional relationships. I've learned a lot and I'm sure I'll always learn from it."

???THE POWER OF A COMMUNITY

To address the loneliness of freelancing, isahit offers regular community meetings, both online and in person, as well as events to enable women to meet and discuss their respective professional projects. The strength of the collective is crucial!

• Pamela, Cameroon?????: "The networking reflects the dynamics of the isahit community in Cameroon. Monthly forums and meetings provide an opportunity to share experiences and advice, strengthening professional and personal relationships."
• Meva, isahit Ambassador, Madagascar?????: "Our monthly online and face-to-face activities focus on personal development and experience sharing, with a high level of activity and mutual support on the isahit exchange platform."
