6 Lessons I Wish I Learned 12 Months Ago as a Freelancer
Decrease stress and headaches with these 6 freelancing lessons
Freelancing is no easy task. It takes time to perfect your craft, pick a niche, excel in that niche, and then try to sell your skills to clients. Not only do you need to be a salesman, but you need some actual skill in order to complete the work the client gives you.
