Lot of freelancers struggle to get their first job and that is not because freelancing is hard, its just because they don’t know the process of how to get started as a freelancer.Here are the Steps
On a piece of paper, list out the skills which you have currently. You don’t have to be an expert at it but you should be decent at those skills
List Down Your Skills
Once you are done with the list, just visit any site like Feedcoyote and search for projects which match your skills listed above.
Read the project description and figure out if you can really take-on this project. Analyse for yourselves if you have proper skills to handle the project.
Check your skills
Once you have identified which skills you lack, its better to master them first before you proceed ahead working on projects.
Fill the Gaps
Test yourselves to see if you have really filled the skill gap which existed before. This will make you confident and also add a project in your portfolio
Working on a dummy project
Once you have the skills and confidence, applying on projects would be quite easy and your chances of acquiring a project would be much higher.
