Saw a couple of Freelance AD posts in the last month. That’s about it. Most of gigs are on LI, FB Freelance groups or here. WNW continues to be useless.

I get jobs from WNW a bunch but not through the site. It’s how people find me and then they reach out to me over email. It makes sense to stay on there and update your status a lot so your profile goes to the top of the list :)

I revamped my portfolio, tightened up the messaging across my profiles/resume.. focused on a niche, increased my rate, and it’s been going very well.

Also, so many people are playing musical chairs right now... It’s the perfect opportunity to pivot, if needed.

In short: I positioned myself as an expert. I still hunt for prospects every other day, but I’m noticing that my leads turn into lucrative clients more often. I think now more than ever, clients don’t want to take a chance on a junior. They want to see a portfolio/resume/profile that speaks for itself... by itself. Focus on that first. Make yourself findable, and stand out with your work.
