What is a freelancer?

A freelancer is someone who earns money by offering a skill—like design, writing, tutoring, video editing, building websites, or bookkeeping—directly to clients. You’re not tied to one company. You’re your own boss. You decide what you sell, when you work, and who you help. Book a desk in our coworking space to start your entrepreneurial journey with us, and meet other entrepreneurs and startups like you at SyncHub.

SyncHub “Record in Green — Earn in Greenbacks” FAQ

A wall-to-wall 4 K greenscreen, dual Sony 4 K cameras, teleprompter, LED key lighting, broadcast-grade mics, and an edit bay loaded with Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects.
