Ask. For. Introductions.
I’ve stayed employed for years on end as a freelancer and 99% of that work has come from introductions.
Brilliant how have I never thought of this?!
Take absolutely everything you are offered in the beginning. Keep in steady contact with every person you’ve ever met in the industry.
Ty!
If you can, save up 4-6 months worth of living expenses. Use it for dry spells and always replenish
Start a contact list. First reach out to ex coworkers and people you know, then to recruiters at agency’s you like, and then to agencies you don’t haha. Reach out every month or two… try to stay on radar but not be annoying. Just short intros and short reminders when you’re available
Find a tax professional and maybe consider LLC or S Corp if you’re planning on freelancing long term
If you’re totally new to it look up the book “Freelancers Guide to Freelancing” on Amazon
Great tips. Thank you
Your network is the job tree. Shake the tree to make jobs fall out of it.
Will do 🌳
Don’t take the first, lowest rate they offer you and check your ego.
Ty!
Find the toughest freelancer in the yard. On your first day, punch him in the face. Gain every other freelancers respect.
In the same position. Absolutely reach out to anyone you’ve ever worked with who might be able to help. Don’t be shy. You’ll be surprised who will help (and maybe surprised at those who don’t). Ask them to put in a good word with the recruiters at their agency. 100% of responses I have got have been referrals. Not one response from emailing someone cold. Even so, still email every recruiter you can. January is really quiet this year, so don’t let that throw you into a spin. I’ve emailed people I’ve worked with 10 years ago and not spoken to since. Play the game. Write nice things on people LinkedIn posts. It might help, it might not but it won’t do any harm.
Truth. Thank you
Best advice? Take 2-3 days and read every post here in this bowl to get an idea on how to price, when to charge, who to talk to, etc
