You surely can. In fact, according to a report by Ziprecruiter, the average freelancer earned $63,488 in 2019 - which is better than even the median salary of a full-time worker in the US. Of course, your earnings will depend on your skillset, experience, and the type of work you're doing. But it is worth noting that even entry-level freelancers can make a good income if they play their cards right.
