Freelance: Where to start?

Where to start? That is the big question that I keep asking myself. Of course, there are obvious answers to this question.

• Determine services.
• Set pricing.
• Organize project samples.
• Create a portfolio website.

But once that is completed then what? This is the question that I’m working on answering now. It’s one thing to claim you’re a freelance graphic designer but it’s another thing to actually be working as one. So, this is what I’m working on now.

• Getting involved in the community.
• Looking for places to advertise.
• Working on social media.
• Continuously creating more samples.

I’ll let you know how it’s going. Any suggestions?
