I'm choosing between business models but analyze: is freelancing the fastest path to online income? Map freelancing vs. other online income: speed to first dollar, income ceiling, time investment. Calculate: freelancing = money this week vs. building passive income = money in 2 years. Show me the speed advantage: sell skills immediately, no audience required. Give me the freelancing strategy: these platforms, these skills, this pricing. Include: why freelancing beats passive income for speed, what skills are in demand, and whether I should freelance first then build passive.
