How to Become a Freelancer TODAY

Are you tired of being told what to do? Are you exhausted of working 8+ hours a day, 5+ days a week, 12 months a year? Do you want to say “Just F it and leave me alone” to everyone at work? I got you! That’s how millions of people feel right now along with you, and that’s how I felt 4 years ago when I finally said “Just F it, I quit” and I actually did it.
Of course, leaving everything and starting from scratch is easier said than done… Especially if you don’t have the financial security to do it… But is it worth it? One million percent!
IF that’s your passion.
It took me veeeery long time to reach the point I am right now, but for the last couple of years, I can finally say I’m not only trying, nor that I am making some extra cash on the side. Not only I’m able to make a living out of my freelancing but also earned some pretty cool opportunities along the way.
I am not guaranteeing it will be the same for you but who knows… it might be even better, right? How will you know if you don’t try?
Here are the first 3 things you really need to consider if you are planning to be, or you are a new and still struggling freelancer:
Financial Security
No one expects you to earn enough to live off from the first week or month you start, not even a year.
If you do, that’s great, let’s celebrate it and keep the hard work going! But even if you don’t, keep manifesting, keep trying, keep the hard work going!
And of course, if you have the financial security net, there’s nothing to lose really.
Pick a niche
I bet you are subscribed to tons of channels on YouTube, but you have a few favorites. How would you feel if the #1 channel you liked, let’s call it “Rock Music”, started uploading knitting lessons, cooking recipes, country music, and financial news? If not unfollowing, you would at least stop visiting this channel since you are actually looking for… rock music.
Same goes for freelancing. You can’t be a writer, a developer, a video editor, and a customer support agent all together.
Pick a niche and stick with it, be bold, and continue leveling up on this particular niche.
Set your rates
One of the hardest things to do when you begin outsourcing is choosing how to charge and bill clients. The worth of the work you give to the client expresses more than the quantity of hours it took you to finish the work. Usually, you set your rate, but there are also platforms in which the client sets up the amount of money they are willing to pay for the given project and you have to send your pitch/cover letter and hope for the best.
In such cases, don’t lower your standards too much. I know every beginning is hard but if you value your work better (not over though) future clients, potential visitors on your profile, and even yourself will be grateful for it.
In conclusion, being a successful freelancer does not happen overnight. Try your best, keep working on improving your skills, and pray (but also DO things) for the best outcome.
I wish you all the best in your new beginning, and I will be more than happy to get in touch or even help anyone who needs support in these first steps!
