I cannot share an experience because I am not interested on freelancing job. Why don't you apply as a visual assistant? There's always hiring.

As a freelance writer I always find it depends on luck. I got a lot of work for 15 years and earned well but was cheated as well.

I have really looked after those kinds of jobs in vain. Most of them require candidates that are skilled and experienced.

Remember to constantly upgrade your skills to increase your job prospects. Also, consider demonstrating your skills through a personal website or blog, especially if you want to become a content writer.

I have been working as a freelancer for almost 8 years. When I first started, I relied on referrals from business associates. As I become more popular, word of mouth is good to get new clients. I seldom work for freelance sites because the competition is fierce, and the pay is low.

To get freelance work you must have a good portfolio and also have a good profile reputation then client will come hiring you often
