Can I ask, what was your first step into freelance exactly? Was it working with a past client, or something else entirely?

For me, it’s been almost completely personal relationships. Either people I know from school, previous work, or made acquaintance after presenting at a meetup. All of these environments allowed me to demonstrate that I can get shit done.

Part of the freelancer’s job is to maintain those relationships, and often these are people that I want to go get a drink with anyway, so it’s not just opportunistic.
