So glad to have put that one out!
Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing ;D

Good top level advice. It is handy to have a standard, very short agreement template with a separate exhibit for client specifics. For each section of the template, have a separate, canned, simple explanation as to why it is necessary AND how it protects the client. Being able to say “hey, this is me looking out for you” gives a very good impression.

Great post! I agree, starting with friends and local businesses is the best way to get your first few clients.
Another good strategy is to develop a niche and then be active in the forums for those specific tech stacks or tools. I’ve gotten tons of work from clients finding my tutorials and forum posts.

This is a great post describing how one should take care of stuffs when freelancing. Thank you for the time you have spent to write this.
