You are the Marketing Department

Most freelancers work alone, but even if you have a partner, you still need to build a network of clients. And this requires promoting your services using adequate channels, such as:

  • Job boards (such as Fiverr, Frelancer.com, Upwork, and more);
  • Freelancing groups on various social media platforms
  • Forums (such as the Warrior Forum)
  • Cold pitching possible leads
  • Professional networks such as LinkedIn, Jobcase, and others

You may end up building a site to promote your services, which can be challenging when you're not a tech person.

Freelancing will teach you a lot about the business process, but it will also show you how little you know. Luckily, nowadays it's rather easy to enroll in an online business course and more. E-learning platforms will become one of your most treasured resources on this road to success!
