Now here are my five tips to get into Freelancing:

1. Select your niche: 

So guys don't be the jack of all trades! Start by learning one or two skills, specialize in them,   try to master those skills. Now if you are a specialist in one or two skills,   you will get more opportunities as you will be known for that niche.

2. Create an Online Portfolio:

Now creating an online portfolio   is like your online resume for the clients! So you can create an online portfolio on your   website. Now if you do not have a website, you can post it on your social media or you can create   a portfolio on any freelancer website. So your online portfolio will help you get more clients.

3. Freelancing Websites: 

Now there are so many freelancing websites which are available from where you can get   work. So you can register yourself on sites like Fiverr, Upwork, digitalmarketer.com,   Freelancer. So you can write on these websites, and you have to do bidding to get the work. Now these websites will help you get the work from across the globe and you don't need to   worry about the payment part because these platforms are authentic and they assure you   of your payment after deducting their commission as their business is dependent on your business.

4. Reach out to your contacts:

Now guys once you start your freelancing work,   it's better to take free or small projects from known individuals. So it will help you create   your own portfolio, and later on, you can pitch that work to clients for new business   or you can start your work at a lesser price initially.
