So lets start this steps in brief...

1. Define Your Own Goals.

Without any clearly defined Goals, easily goals, you're going to have a very difficult time getting to where you want to go.

2. Find a Profitable ideas.

Let’s assume you’re a  photoshop designer by profession, or you've at least been building your skills with Adobe Photoshop in your free time.
Clearly, there are a lot of competitors in your companiews that'll be willing to charge much lower rates than you, no matter what you do with. There are people from all around the world with lower costs of living that'll always be willing to accept lesser-paid bids than you. Get over the idea of and trying to compete on price as a freelancer.

3. Find Your Target Clients.

Just as important as finding a profitable clients, is attracting the right types of clients for your freelancing business.
As you're just starting your freelancing business, it's fine to take a bit more of approach to landing a few clients. Make some initial assumptions about who you want to work with and, target them first, and after working with a few of them, you'll develop a very clear sense of whether or neveryou want to continue pursuing similar clients.
Since starting my freelancing  business, I have my target client profile over time to matching only two very specific types of businesses. High-growth tech startups and business influenecers with well-established personal brands.

4. Set Prices for Your works.

I have spoken a lot about setting the right prices for your freelancing business before you get started. I even architected  that walks you through the process of setting your freelance hourly rate.

 and yes Remember, you need to price yourself based on the value what you deliver - not based on what your competitors are charging in same.

5. Build a High-Quality Attractive Website

Your freelance profile needs to do the following, in order to be truly effective at selling your services and works:
  • Communicate your specialty & display examples of your sevvices.
  • List your contact information & show off your personality who you are.
  • Highlight your  high skills, education, and accomplishments.
  • Display testimonial.
  • Have regular updates that show your work on basis, new clients, and updated sample works.

With that in mind, one of the best ways to show you're in the know within your space, is by regularly publishing new content, images, or videos (depending upon the content medium you work in) that your target clients will be impressed with. Once you have an understanding of what your clients need, go out and create examples of that exact type of content - as if you had been hired to produce it - for your own website.

 6. Create Examples of What You Can show (on Your  web Site)

With that in self mind, one of the best ways to show you are in the know within your space, is by regularly publishing new contents, images, or videos that your target clients will be impressed with them. Once you have an understanding of what your clients need, go out and create examples of that exact type of content - as if you had been hired to produce it - for your own website.


 7. Choose Your First Clients


Because you have a so limited amount of time to source new clients and projects (and actually do the work for them too) as you start your freelancing business, you need to get the most out of the clients you do bring on.

Your limited number of clients and correlating profile pieces, will represent how you're perceived by other potential clients moving forward with.

8. Mention Clients in Your Content.

You're going to have a hard time making a name for yourself within your works, if nobody knows you exist.
That's why within every piece of content I create on my blog and, I regularly mention the brands, companies, and individuals I see myself potentially working with one day. Even if I'm not quite ready to take on new clients, or I'm not even qualified to go after such huge deals yet, it's never too early to start building good will and getting your name in front of the right people at your target companies.
here are the some points
  • Research the best point of contact to reaching to.
  • Perfect your interest line for the recipient.
  • Keep your que short.
  • Sell your strengths and services.

9. Don’t mess jup Your Day Job Priorities with Freelancing.


Above all else,but  it's important to remember that your job (and sole source of first income) is your number one priority.
Don't do anything to your full-time employment, as you still need it to sustain you while you grow your freelancing business on the side. when starting a side business is definitely worth a read as you get started with your freelancing career.
Now that you've got an understanding of how to start a freelance business, here's why I believe everyone  should be freelance on the side. It's been one of the best business decisions i have ever made, and it's been by far my most consistent side business to tilldate.
I strongly recommend that anyone considering starting a freelancing business, begin first with freelancing on the side while still working full-time work.
