How I started:
- Called up past employers and let them know what I was up to. Asked if they "needed any help"
- Reached out to local startups and asked if they "needed any help"
- Trolled craigslist for projects, built POCs quickly, then responded to the ad with a link to the proof of concept.
My first three clients were an ex employer, 2 local startups (reaching out to startups), and a real estate company (craigslist)
- yolesaber 14y agoHow is being a consultant different than being a freelance developer? Is it just nominal?
