How to start freelancing?
Here are some of our top tips to help you get started as a freelancer:

• ➤Choose a craft that’s in demand. Not only should you find something you enjoy (and are good at), you should also do your research to make sure your skill is marketable.

• ➤Build a reputable brand. Even though you’re going it alone, you still have to sell yourself as a brand – meaning an impressive online presence (e.g. through blogs and social media) is key.
• ➤Put together a portfolio. Employers are primarily concerned with your previous experience – so choose your jobs wisely to gain the best reputation, even if it means working for free when you first start out.
• ➤Pitch properly. Similar to job applications, employers don’t like it when you don’t tailor your proposal to their job. Focus on how your skills could meet their needs, and you’re far more likely to impress.
