I work for clients at 6-12 months stretches as an independent contractor. Sometimes longer. And when I part with them I usually stay around on a monthly retainer. The retainer then keeps me in the loop with them, and I often get billed for smaller tasks their team can't address, or needs extra capacity on.
Through a lot of trial and error, coming up from sites like Upwork, Fiverr, etc. That's the only way I feel that "freelancing" works for me. Where I am deeply networked and have already build rapport with the clients.
- v1l 3y agoThat's great that you've built a deep roster of clients. Can't disagree that it's the best source of work.
- sawadees 3y agoIt takes time, and it can be rough starting out. But its worth it. The one thing which I disliked most about freelancing platforms is that you can not take clients off platform or even network with them without putting your account at risk.
