I’m considering doing some freelance work as a backend dev. I have around 8 years of experience as a full time employee, but I’m not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling as a freelancer.
What are some good platforms to find clients? The only one I know of is searching job postings on LinkedIn.
Are platforms like Upwork and Fiverr good? I’ve heard that they’re a bit of a rat race, and honestly looking at Fiverr ads it does seem that way.
How do you network with zero or close to zero initial “connections”?
Sure it’s easy to get jobs when you already have a dozen happy clients who recommend you to others. But how do you start initially? Through friends and their connections?
