Ep 87: Tactical Tips to Break Into Freelancing in 2025


Listen Later

We’re breaking down everything you need to know to start freelancing, from:

  • Identifying your marketable skills
  • Landing your first clients
  • What you really need to get started

We start by demystifying what freelancing actually is and why more and more companies are hiring freelancers.

We share the honest reality of diving into freelance work and the genuine effort it takes to build it into a full-time role.

The episode covers practical steps for getting started, including how to identify your freelance-worthy skills (even if you think you don't have any), what you actually need to set up before pursuing clients (spoiler: way less than you think), and where to find your first opportunities.

We also get real about pricing, sharing why taking that first lower-paying gig isn't beneath you if you have no experience, and how to write proposals that actually get responses.

For those balancing freelancing with a full-time job, we discuss the reality of working intense hours for a short period to build momentum, and why your current energy levels are your greatest asset for making this transition.

If you've been curious about freelancing but didn't know where to start, or if you've been overthinking the setup process, this episode cuts through the noise to give you actionable steps you can take this week to begin building your freelance business.
