about freelance tv

Now on TNT I saw in the “Moscow instructions for use” a report on what freelancing is.
They started with the fact that if problems get to the office, then think about working at home.
And they began to talk about how to work well at home, and about the fact that almost all IT specialists work on themselves while working in the office.
Tips on how to start were like this:
1) Sign up for three or four freelance portals
2) Put there your mega cool portfolio \ work
3) Start working with good uncles who have come running for your work.
And most importantly, do not forget about the rating \ reputation, ask for good reviews and td
And only a few seconds was shown to someone from the owners of free lance ru,
reminded that at home you do not do anything for yourself for free.
In general, the whole report is filled with the meaning of how good it is to be a freelancer.
Why would this TV become interested in freelancing? Whether to wait for the increasing popularity of this type of work?
ps messy somehow happened, do not judge strictly. But I did not like the report, somehow one-sided and not professional.
