My freelancing story: Worked in digital agencies. Met a lot of contacts. Started taking on side projects. Produced good work. Kept on getting referrals. Quit my full time job and freelanced for 5+ years. Wasn’t always easy but I kept my costs low and steadily increased my rates. Easiest way to start? Freelance for an agency or a consultancy. They always need someone, like right now, to work on a project.
