How To Start A Freelance Business On The Side
The first step is to decide on the type of work you would like to concentrate on—whether it's small ad-hoc gigs, short-term projects or long-term engagements. For example, if you build company websites, that may be a longer-term project than assisting with a one-off marketing campaign. Making this determination early on will allow you to plan your time accordingly and remain focused so that you can prepare for a steady flow of projects (and ultimately income).
Determine your pricing and business strategy. Once you set a price, it will be difficult to make changes for repeat clients, so make sure you know your worth. Don't undervalue yourself. If you're unsure how to set your pricing, do your research. Ask people in your network, connect with other freelancers or even ask friends what their companies have paid freelancers. This data-driven approach will give you a reliable starting point.
