Starting out in freelance is almost like anything you do for the first time (ahem…). For a freelancer, it is finding the first project. I’m sure other freelancers can attest to the fact that projects get much easier to find after the first one is out of the way.

The problem is that even after completing that first project and getting paid whatever, the “How am I going to make money?” thought still haunts every second.
