Most In-Demand Freelance Skills in 2024
These are the most popular and fastest-growing skills of 2024
Every year Upwork releases a report on the top most in-demand skills of the freelance marketplace.
This report contains the top 10 most popular skills on the platform in different categories. These are the skills that most clients search for on one of the biggest freelance marketplaces available.
While I encourage freelancers to avoid big marketplaces like Upwork, these reports are well worth looking into as they provide you with stats and details about the trending skills and industries that are growing fast.
If you're planning on getting into freelancing or even thinking of switching careers, these are the skills you should be learning right now!

Some of these skills are new while others have been on these lists for many years. The key is to find a skill that will stand the test of time.
But what's even more important is finding a skill that you're truly interested in. Something you're passionate enough to get up every day and grind without losing interest.
Here’s the Upwork report if you want to see more. It’s been out for a while but I thought you’d be interested in learning about it.
Until next time,
