Do you want to become a freelancer?

Everyone wants to do that now

But no one knows how to begin and how to do it the right way

There are a lot of things I wish I knew earlier when I first started my journey

Here are 7 tips for the newbie freelancers

1. Get a mentor

This is key when you’re just starting out

Having a good mentor can save you 6 months of research if used the right way

The goal is to find someone who is just a few steps ahead of you and learn from them

When looking for a mentor, create a connection first

Don’t DM someone and ask them to be your mentor right away

This is not how you get a mentor

And be willing to spend money on this

2. Outreach

This is the action that gets your clients

And this at the same time the most important action in the beginning

If you don’t do outreach you don’t get clients
