RE: How To Become A Freelancer In 3 Simple Steps

Freelancing was once my gig before the pandemic but since majority of my clients are students and classes has been suspended, my freelancing also comes to a halt.

I market my skill through referrals. It is just one person (a casual friend) at first and then became 2, 3, 4 and so on. I don't have much skill back at that time so I accepted very low fees as I am learning at the same time.

Once I have gathered experience and skill, I tried freelancer, upwork and even fiver. But as you have said, the competition is very tough. I sent numerous applications but those who are old in the platform are usually the ones being hired.

Freelancing has its own difficulties but it is rewarding too at the same time. One of the attractive benefits of freelancing that I've experience is that I can work whenever I want as long as I will finish the work on time.
