I tweet a lot about freelancing and it may appear that this is “easy”, it’s not.

When i first started I was broke, I mean literally broke - I thought $45 would be enough for a week of groceries for 2

We did everything in my power to find a way

1/5

We cold called businesses, I emailed businesses in my town, I told everyone back home what I offer

I told my aunt who’s an attorney, she wouldnt even hire me

We had little support and it was hard finding a career with no professional background

We tried fiverr

2/5

Upwork, everything, I tried finding work through Reddit, nothing.

It took me about 2 years to get constant work

Finally, we were able to find a client

Finally all the hard work paid off, but it took years

3/5

I write this today in hopes that when you start your journey, you never give up

You think of every creative corner you have to find a client and give results

Offer free work, begin network, just by starting it you’re already one step closer

I wrote this guide to help you, if you’re starting from scratch, or have a bit of experience

The truth is, you can become a full time freelancer - it will take time, trial and error but it is possible https://twitter.com/blakiecodes/status/1305590925708554240">https://twitter.com/blakiecod...
