How To Get Started Freelancing…

Published: Sun, 01/03/16

Hi

The more I talk to members around BlackFreelance, the more I realize that there are a LOT of us out here who have a problem--We’re really interested in the living the freelance lifestyle, but at the same time aren’t really sure how to get started.

That’s completely understandable. The freedom that freelancing offers is great, but it’s also what can make it very difficult to decide how to start your freelance career.

It can take time to find the balance between what you’re good at, what you enjoy, and what you can get paid well for. That’s why this week’s tip is…

Pick a skill, any skill…today.

Our focus this month at BlackFreelance is refining your skills…which can be really difficult if you haven’t decided exactly what you want to do yet. That’s why I want to ask you, if you haven’t done it already, to check out this list of possible freelancing fields. If you already know what you want to do? Work through these 5, simple questions to find your specialization.

Remember, focusing on offering your clients one freelance skill that you’ve taken the time to refine is almost certainly the most effective way to build your freelancer brand.
