Start working before you have the job :

Develop a portfolio, that is, a collection of your works, even if explicitly invented. Your goal must be to show off your skills, nothing more.
The best way to get a job is to anticipate a company's problem and solve it. Because when a resume isn't enough, what you need is to show the entrepreneur that you can improve what he's spending money on.
Take advantage of freelancers and agencies with too much food on their plate : You have two options… go hunting or befriend the hunter. In your case, the hunters are other freelancers or agencies, those who already have plenty of work. As intermediaries, they will have the right to take a percentage of your work, but partnering with them can be a wise move to create your first steady stream of clients.
Think 5 years ahead : At the beginning you will think about those 500€ that you lost with that client you worked for for free and you will be jealous. Trust me, it is wasted energy. What matters is the experience you gained in exchange for those 500€. Because 5 years from now you will not care about anything, when that experience has transformed into 5 clients knocking on your door.
Diversify for safety and novelty : Like the best investment portfolio, diversification for a freelancer is key. In your case, it won't protect your money from inflation, but your creativity from monotony. Balance clients who pay you periodically for long-term work, interesting one-off projects, and inspiring work (even free) that aligns with your values. Strategies to quickly reach YOUR finish line (and fulfill yourself as a freelancer)
How much do you want to earn per month? This is a question you list of telegram users in israel should ask yourself as soon as possible. Be careful with the answer, though. It must refer to an ideal figure that you would like to reach in the shortest possible time. Be realistic and write it down on a sheet of paper. Let's take one for example, like €15,000 per month. At this point there are two ways to get there.
15 clients paying you €1000 per month : These may seem like easier deals to close, but there's a downside. That's a lot of clients to find, a lot to manage, presumably with different projects and therefore requiring a lot of mental switches per day. That adds up to a lot of chaos in your work process. And more chaos = more chances to screw up.
3 clients who pay you €5000 per month : Few but good. Those few to find, few to manage, for which you must become indispensable. Here you cannot afford to sell at a low price, consequently you will need an aura between the artisan freelancer and the rockstar one to enlighten you.
The easy way is messy, the hard way is heaven : We tend to overestimate the number of clients we can get, while we tend to underestimate how much a single client can pay us. We strongly recommend the second way. It should be your goal.
You are in the relationship business : You are not in the copywriting business, or the design business, or the video making business, etc. It doesn’t matter what industry you are in, or what you do… if you are a freelancer, the truth is that you are in the relationship business. They are what make you grow more than anything else.
Don't productize your service : You are not Coca-Cola or McDonald's. You do not sell the same products all over the world. Avoid standardization, even if it is the path to scalability. You are not interested in being quantitatively scalable. You are interested in scaling your work qualitatively, in the relationship with your few customers.
