Why freelancing?
Freelancing is the easiest and cheapest business to start. The
only real investment up front is your time. You don’t have to
pay for a website. You don’t have to spend years growing an
instagram following or email list. You don’t have to invest in
inventory or equipment. All you need is you, your
determination, and a willingness to learn and put in the work.

ideas of what service you’d like to offer. The end result here
is to be crystal clear on what that is, so you can stay focused.
Focus is the only way you’ll make money, and enjoy what
you’re doing. If you try to do too much at once, you’ll stress
yourself out and give up.

The good news is you don’t have to be the best of the best at
your skill. You just have to be a little better than whoever
you’re selling it to. We started selling our skill before we even
entered the beginner stage. We just knew we had the drive to
learn, and become great. Don’t wait to be great, you need a
version 1 of your skill first, then keep refining and getting
better from there.

For example, general admin skills will go for around $10 - $25
/ hr while design skills can go for $50 - $100 / hr. Don’t let
this hang you up, we started off with $15/hr skills, got the
hang of freelancing and worked our way up. The biggest thing
you need to do is START.
Again, don’t let that hang you up, just get started making
some money, feel the confidence from that, and then work
your way up!
