The scariest and most exciting moment in your freelance career is when you get your first client.

Sites like Upwork and Contently help get you past the challenge of finding clients, creating contracts, and getting paid. Once you understand the demand for your freelance skill, pick a niche, and create a profile you’re on your way to getting your first few clients and seeing what it feels like to earn as a freelancer.

If you haven’t tried this yet, what do you think might be slowing you down?
