Break Free From 9-to-5: Launch Your Freelance Career Now
The freedom of being your own boss, deciding what projects you work on, and setting your own rates are just a few of the benefits of becoming a freelancer. But it takes more than just the ability to make your own schedule – you also need to know how to find and land clients, how to manage business finances, and much more. This is why we created Break Free from 9-to-5:
Launch Your Freelance Career Now, a comprehensive online course that will teach you everything you need to know about starting and growing your own freelance business.
First, decide what kind of freelancer you want to be. It’s important to determine this before you quit your job because it will help you get into the right mindset for freelance success. During this step, it’s also helpful to start brainstorming ideas for services you could offer. You should focus on one or two main areas that are both a strength and passion of yours, as well as the type of work that would be most profitable for you.
During this process, it’s important to remember that you’re taking a leap of faith and it will probably take time before you see results. It’s also a good idea to have a backup plan for when things don’t go as planned. Having a safety net will give you the peace of mind you need to move forward with your plans, even if it takes a little while longer than you originally expected.
Once you’ve determined what services you’re going to offer, it’s time to start searching for clients. While you can look for freelance work online, it’s also a good idea to reach out to established freelancers in your niche and see if they’re looking for any additional clients. If they are, you can either work out a subcontracting arrangement or simply have them refer their clients over to you.
When you’re ready to begin working with clients, be sure to have a portfolio of completed freelance work that you can show potential customers. Additionally, it’s a good idea to ask previous clients for a testimonial that you can include on your website or other marketing materials.
Once you’ve figured out the basics of running your freelance business, we recommend exploring our extensive library of business courses. From financial advice to copywriting tips, we have a wide range of resources that can teach you everything you need to know about succeeding in a new, freelance career.
