New to freelancing?

Finding it overwhelming?

All the information, advice, strategies, and tips can be a bit too much for the budding freelancer. You end up flooded with all this information and then become paralyzed.

Fear and anxiety sets in, and you start to doubt your ability to actually DO this.

That was me when I first became a freelancer. I’m just a mom, not a writer! Or, I don’t have a degree in journalism, there’s no way someone’s going to pay me to write.

This fear can literally stop you in your tracks. It almost made me quit.

So, what separates successful freelancers from every other freelancer out there?

It’s having confidence in your abilities…and being able to fake it ‘till you make it!

This is exactly what I did and it worked.

Even though I had NO clients, NO experience, NO business knowledge, I was still able to get clients and gain experience and business knowledge.

Here’s how you can fake it too when you’re a complete newb.

1. Build a Strong Network

New freelancers have to start building their support network.
