I won’t lie to you…if you’ve got education or experience in a field, it really does make kicking your freelance career off easier. If you don’t though, don’t despair! That just means you have a lot of options.

Some people learned to make very good money starting with very basic skills and some digging on bidding sites. Others (like this guy) look through bidding sites to see where the most demand (and money) is, and start building their skills and freelance careers from there. If you feel like you don’t have enough education, or maybe chose a degree that’s not working out for you, know that freelancing has room for you, just remember to…

Freelancing is hard on the ego and it’s easy to underestimate everything you’re capable of, even when you’re rolling in education and experience. Know that there are people out there starting freelance careers from scratch every…single…day, some with very few skills.
