I'm in my first month freelancing. The last time I wasn't in a full-time job was when I was running a small web design company in the 90s (it still exists and is run by @prawn).

Finding work was not difficult – I was lucky enough to book all of my capacity from day one. The biggest challenge I've had so far is managing my time across clients, and adjusting to not having a team.

How did you get your customers, through your network? Do you do mostly frontend or something else?

I do E-commerce consultancy, CRO and Facebook advertising (still figuring how much to specialise).

I was fairly fortunate to bring by previous employer on as first client, the rest of the leads have come through my personal network. The nice thing about prioritising lifestyle over growth is I don't need many clients.
