One of the hardest things about freelancing is finding clients, right? I mean... what do you even look for? Just... work?
If you know exactly what you want to do with your career, then this post probably won't help much. You're probably already prepared with a list of places you want to work and what you want to do for them.
But if you're like me, you're armed with nothing more than a hobby, some good AP exam and SAT scores, and the hope that you're somehow going to make enough money to eat this year.
So what's a good solution here? Freelancing sites! They match up clients and freelancers for a cut of the profits. It's a fantastic way to gets started. I can't vouch for many sites, so be wary of scams. I can however, vouch for the website that got me started:
ELance
It's a fantastic resource for beginning freelancers. They give you a profile, a spot to upload portfolio, and a bunch of other stuff. You get a certain number of credits, which you use to bid on jobs posted by clients. It will help you get a feel for what kinds of work are out there, and what you want to do in particular. Check it out!
