Getting started as a freelancer depends on what kind of freelancing you want to do. But whether it’s freelance writing, freelance photography, or something else, you’ll likely need to have some experience first. Unless it’s an entry-level role, employers want to see that you know how to do what the job requires. Your work, such as photos or writing examples, can be showcased in an easily accessible online portfolio. This helps recruiters see what you’re capable of when you’re applying for different positions.
