How to Start Freelancing with No Experience



The freelance economy is booming. In fact, it is predicted that by 2027, freelancers will make the majority of the US workforce. But how do you create a profitable freelance career with zero experience?



While breaking into freelancing is not an easy task, it can be done, even with no experience. The hardest part about becoming freelance is landing that the first client. But once you cross that hurdle, you are good to go.

In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about becoming a freelancer with zero experience.

How much can you make from freelancing?

The amount of money you make as a freelancer majorly depends on your field and level of skills. However, on average, you can make anywhere between $25 to $75 per hour.

Which freelancing site is best for beginners?

There are many different platforms for beginners to get freelancing jobs, whether you are a graphic designer, article writer or even a web designer. These sights include:

Fiverr: This is one of the best freelancing sites for beginners with no experience. Here, you can create gigs based on your skill or service and offer it to the market for willing buyers to see and place orders for the service you are offering.

Upwork: This is one of the biggest freelancing sites globally where businesses and independent professionals come together for online work services. This site offers more than 3 million jobs each year, making it ideal for freelancers to earn some money.

Other beginner friendly freelance sites include:

  • Guru
  • Freelancer
  • Total
  • PeoplePerHour

To get your first job on these sites, you need to give clients some reasons why they should hire you. This is best done through creating a stellar proposal and sending it to clients looking for the services you are offering.

Remember that there are hundreds of other people looking for the same jobs on these sites. Therefore, your proposal needs to stand out from the crowd and prove that you can do the task to the client's satisfaction.

OK, but what are the easiest jobs to get with no experience? - after a small research, I found out that Writing is one of the easiest freelancing jobs. With time, and once you figure out what the client needs, you will get really good at it. Other easy jobs with no experience include:

  • Survey jobs
  • Transcription
  • Customer service
  • Ridesharing among others

But if you don't want to write and earn more money, take a look at some of the best freelance paying jobs:

  • Web developer
  • Programmer
  • Digital Marketer
  • Translation
  • Writing
  • Security specialist

Manage freelance work, time and multiple clients

Ask any freelancer, be it a writer, designer or web developer, and they will tell you that it is difficult to effectively manage your freelancing without proper time management.
