Tips to starting a full-time freelance career – from Tia Meyers

The Webflow Freelancer course explores the diverse paths within the "Freelancer's Journey," emphasizing that while each freelancer's experience is unique, common challenges and questions persist. The course includes interviews with freelancers, such as Tia, who shares insights on transitioning to full-time freelancing, highlighting the importance of financial preparation and strategic client selection. Tia advises aspiring freelancers to save money to alleviate stress and to curate a portfolio that reflects their desired work and client types. She stresses that a portfolio should be concise and showcase the freelancer's personality, allowing potential clients to understand their capabilities and interests. By focusing on the type of work they want to pursue, freelancers can attract relevant clients, as demonstrated by an example of a friend shifting her portfolio to emphasize skills like calligraphy over her broader event planning experience.
