So you have a job and you want to freelance? I'd not take the risks. You'll probably burnout and loose money. If you want to earn more, you can either ask your boss for a promotion or find a better job. You can, of course, go completely freelance.
I'd not mix a regular job with the freelance workflow.
Scaling back my full-time job is not an option, unfortunately.
In fact I'm mostly looking for a way to make money on my free time, that's why I thought about freelancing. The alternative would be to try to make money with my own side projects (eventually) but I believe they're not the right kind of projects for that.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm aware of that risk of course, that's why I try to gather opinions about it.
The goal is indeed to earn more and asking for a promotion isn't an option. Finding a better job isn't that easy either.
I've done a bit of stuff like this, and yeah, pushing too hard is a huge risk.
Could you scale back your full-time job? Ask to be part-time?
Thanks for the reply, Ben!
