Freelancing, for me, rarely involves working from home. If and when you can work remotely depends on the type of work, not your employment classification. This article was written from a very narrow perspective. Even the 100$/hour dream is misplaced. 100$ is nothing for many freelance contractors. I make more. That said, I spend 2/3 of my time on non-paid tasks such as proposals and giving talks at conferences.<p>Fyi, most lawyers (or their firms) operate under some form of "freelance" as an outside contractor charging by the hour. Recent surveys show that even at "big law" firms only 25% of lawyer time is actually billable hours. The rest, like me, is spent doing all the other things you must to bring in work while maintaining your freelance status.
