Freelance Playbook
At the beginning of my freelancing career, I took any projects I could get – from simple logos to building fully-fledged websites. I worked 80 hours a week, mostly without weekends, to please my clients and deliver the best possible results.
Something had to change, so I transitioned into UI/UX design. This allowed me to focus on a much narrower variety of projects. One-off jobs turned into monthly contracts. Simple logos and business cards turned into more complex apps and websites.
After making a decision to start working with international clients, in a couple of months, I was making a full-time income.
This journey taught me various lessons, and I’m giving all of them to you in this guide. I went in the wrong direction and had to change my approach repeatedly. I didn’t go from A to B in a strain line. Instead, I started and stopped multiple times.
