Welcome to the first Freelance Newbie podcast! In this podcast we’re talking all about freelancing. If you’ve got tech skills, you’ve got a way to make money. It doesn’t matter if you’ve just started learning HTML & CSS or you’re a senior developer at a large company –– the things we talk about apply to all abilities. Episode 1: Your First 3 Months Freelancing
The first couple of months of any business are the most exciting, but also the most stressful. How are you going to get your name out there as a freelance web developer? Where will the clients come from? Why am I not getting calls or emails? What if this was a bad idea? HALPPPP!! In this episode we’re exploring the good, the bad and the ugly of not only starting a freelance web development business, but *participating* in it. Buckle up!
