How to Start Freelancing (& Get Your FIRST Client!)

If you're looking to make money and start a business, I recommend learning about how to start freelancing first so that you can get your first client and start making money soon! As a freelancer, although it's not smart passive income, it's definitely active income that you can earn that is likely to lead to several more business opportunities down the road, including more passive opportunities such as selling products and affiliate recommendations, or even hiring a team and creating an agency. The start is often the hardest part, so to help out today I invited my good friend Charli Marie from CharliMarieTV to chat with us today. I highly recommend checking out and subscribing to her channel here: https://www.youtube.com/charlimarieTV Charli is a freelance designer who is also a designer at ConvertKit, an email service provider that I use and recommend, and am also an advisor for. She does amazing work! http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/convertkit (affiliate link) I brought her in the studio today to help us all understand how to get started as a freelancer so that you can have the best chance to land your first client.

Before you go, make sure you leave a comment below sharing your skill that you could hiring out for as a freelancer so that we can get to know you better!
