Can one make a decent living from freelancing ?
dpnewman: the long term relationships and connections you develop from existing clients are the most essential things.gettig your first clients is the hardest part.2 things that can help you get some initial clients:1) create a blog that shows your knowledge, skills and expertise.2) side project(s) that demonstrate what you can do.if your blog and projects look impressive it can be a way around that initial hurdle of getting your first clients who will be the ones to refer you or repeat hire you.don't use price point as a way to lure clients unless the context is right for that. most of the time people are looking for someone good ahead of cheap. someone good does it right, and efficiently.
