Exploring Freelancing for iOS Developers

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 X/Twitter?
• How long should my contracts be?
• Monthly or hourly? What's the best way to charge?

Join me as I take you through my freelancing journey, which began in May 2020 and continues through 2025. This guide is built from real-world experience, navigating the path of contract work to pay the bills while traveling the world.

I share what I learned the hard way. The mistakes, the wins, and everything in between. So you do not have to figure it out from scratch like I did!
