How to start your freelancing career
Why are you freelancing in a first place?
Many people want to change their life, especially in career. Many of us want to expand skills and talent, but in the first place they ask the biggest question WHY they want to change there life? WHY they want to excel? and WHY they want to be a freelancer, not a office worker or ordinary employee. Maybe some of us want to live a better life, avoid the stressful life of an office worker and many more. But the best important in your biggest WHY is you do it you keep hustle on your choosing career maybe it an freelancer or not and you do it for your self and your family.
Where do I find my first clients?
To start you know who and where you can find your ideal clients. You cannot get your ideal client right away and this is the most critical in the part of an no experience 1st time in the world of freelancing career. but you have to clear in your mind that what ever happen you will get your ideal client right away. You can find ideal clients in Upwork, Onlinejobs.ph, FreeUp, Fiverr and many more. There's a lot of clients there and you can choose what will be your focus niche to applied where you can focus yourself and improve you skills and knowledge. Give your best shot in your first client, don't be so demanding in the first place because you don't have enough experience yet, but do the job not like below the belt condition.Take the experience and make your portfolio update every time you have a client.
Should I work for free to get exposure and experience?
For me, in this kind of question you cannot do work for free because you have a family to feed, you have to feed yourself you pay your bills too and the thing is you will not do a free work for your client to get your experience. The best thing is invest in online freelancing course like the FVA Freelancing Course.
