Long gone are the days of the “starving artist” and struggling to know how to make money with your art.
With the internet providing so many possibilities when it comes to marketing a skill and making money from it, artists can profit just as much from the opportunity as other freelancers.
Therefore, if you are someone whose passion lies in visual creation, a.k.a. an artist, there is no reason you can’t channel your creativity into an income!
With so many choices of where to find freelancing work, it can be difficult to choose which platform you should dedicate your time to.

How often during your workday do you find yourself saying, “I hate my boss”?
If it’s a lot, you’re not alone.

If you have any kind of freelance clients that don’t pay you in advance of your services, you are going to run into a time where your invoices go unpaid and your clients end up with past due invoices or, worse yet, not paying you at all.
The first question on every new freelancer’s mind is: “how to get clients?”
While getting your first client might seem a bit overwhelming, there are many effective strategies that all freelancers can use to land their first client and subsequent clients thereafter.
But with so many options, where does one even begin?
Freelancing is an amazing opportunity to do what you love and get paid to do it.
However, a freelancer’s success lies in the hands of those who are willing to hire them.
Many freelancers do well making money on a project-to-project basis, taking on small jobs from a variety of clients.
Yet stability in freelancing depends on building strong relationships with clients.
Are you handy with web design? Site platforms? Coding? Website management?
Back in the day, delving into web development at home was more of a hobby than an actual job.
