- Define your goals for your freelancing gig. Is this going to be a side business forever or do you intend to make it your full-time job? How much income do you need to be making? What are your current skills?
- Niche down. You will find much more success if you narrow down your area of expertise to suit a specific client.
- Think about who your ideal client would be. Write it all down on a piece of paper. How can you help them solve their problems?
- Do research into the going rates for your specific type of freelance work. This will vary based on where you live, the kind of work you do, who your clients are, etc. Don’t undervalue yourself.
- In order to stand out online, you need to create a website and portfolio to showcase your work to prospective clients.
