Hi all,
I am SOOO pleased to have stumbled across this site and look forward to gleaning much needed info as I bop around the boards
I've written stuff pretty much forever and have finally made the decision to try my hand at earning from it.
My first Question:
When you first start out doing the freelance thing - well... how do you first start out doing the freelance thing? I mean, if you bid for a project or advertise your services how do you get "cred" when you haven't previously written professionally? Once a few jobs are under your belt and your portfolio starts to grow I understand - but what about before those first few jobs?
I'd really appreciate your input.
Cheers
