how to get into freelancing

Ohhh dude i wanna know about it too.

hey! i started with doing designs for friends and worked on a couple music event posters for fun for my portfolio.. my niche was doing event posters so i started out with fiverrr and thats where i got my clients :) the shitty thing about that platform is how much money it ~eats~ from you because they charge a service/platform fee and youve got to wait like 2 weeks for the payment to be cleared and because i use paypal to withdraw to my bank theres another fee :/ what i like to do is after i complete a proj for them on fiverr ill get them to contact me on email for future works so then the $$ comes straight to me but the downside to this is that if you dont protect yourself well (contracts, payment terms etc) they can ghost you and not pay (happened to me when i was starting out lol) 

theres alot of things to take into consideration when freelancing yea.. anyways feel free to reach out im not a pro but ill be happy to help out
