"Completed Exploring Freelancing, I absolutely loved it. All the chapters after From Twitter Friends to Playing Clients onwards were so so well written and gripping."

If you've found yourself wondering:

• Where do I even start looking for clients on Twitter?
• How long should my contracts be?
• Monthly or hourly? What's the best way to charge?
• And the big one... what if a client doesn't pay?

Then you've come to the right place.

Join me as I share my freelancing journey, which began in May 2020 and led to me becoming an independent writer and developer in May 2023. This guide is built from real-world experience, navigating the path of part-time freelancing to pay the bills while pursuing creative endeavors.

Each chapter unpacks crucial lessons learned, designed to help you sidestep common pitfalls and make informed decisions as you build your own freelance career. My goal is to provide genuine value and help you confidently land that first client.
