After completing a course on a remote profession, the next step is to start earning money from freelancing. The first step to this is to create a quality portfolio. It should showcase your best work and confirm your expertise in your chosen field. If you don't have any real projects, start with test assignments or volunteer projects. Such examples can be a great start to attracting your first clients.
The next stage is finding clients. For this, use freelance platforms such as Upwork, Freelancer, or Russian analogs such as Kwork. Create a profile that clearly reflects your skills and experience. Be prepared that your first orders may be small, but they will give you the opportunity to earn a reputation and build trust with clients. Don't forget about active networking on social media and professional groups such as LinkedIn or themed forums where potential customers can search for specialists.
In addition, it is important to set the right prices for your services. At first, you can offer competitive rates to attract customers, but gradually increase the cost as you gain experience and confidence. It is important to learn how to negotiate with clients and form contracts that protect your interests. By constantly working to improve the quality of your services and develop your professional skills, you will be able to move from small projects to large orders and long-term cooperation.
