Tips on how to get clients as a freelancer?
(programming.dev)
I'm considering doing some freelance work as a backend dev. I have around 8 years of experience as a full time employee, but I'm not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling as a freelancer.
What are some good platforms to find clients? The only one I know of is searching job postings on LinkedIn.
Are platforms like Upwork and Fiverr good? I've heard that they're a bit of a rat race, and honestly looking at Fiverr ads it does seem that way.
Stay off of Fivr or equivalent if you want to make real money and get a real business off the ground.
As for clients: networking. You just have to be a smooth talker to make it in business.
