A freelancer is someone who provides his/her services at a fee and usually without a permanent single client's, even though the working arrangement may be ongoing. It's a kind of self-employment, similar to running a home vs telecommuting company. Having that said, as opposed to a home business a freelancer should work as a contractor.
