Working freelance is all about who you know, who knows you and who will give you a recommendation. Focus on delivering results to your clients that go above what they expect. Develop a strong working/professional relationship with your clients so they want to work with you in the future and give your name to their friends. Always deliver more than you promised, be on time and stay on budget. Get your social media channels current and do some in-person networking. Get your name and face in front of actual people. Once you find work, treat those new clients like gold. Rinse and repeat. In time you’ll build a portfolio of repeat clients that earn you more than $1k per month.
