This is the first installment of a 4-part tutorial series I'm doing, Freelancing 101: A Dead Simple Method to Get Your First Freelance Work. In this series, I'm walking you through the exact process I used to get my first freelance clients. The nice thing about this method is you get to start slow and simple, get your feet wet and grow at your own pace. Instead of trying to land and then deliver on $3,ooo or $5,ooo or $15,000 projects right off the bat.

That can be scary as hell.

What I'm going to show you isn't. Yet, you can still make damn good money doing it.

But, with that said, lets jump into Part 1: How to Find Problems People Will Pay You to Solve. And, the key here is finding urgent problems you can solve for clients. The more urgent the problem, the easier it will be to get clients. So, here's what to do...

I got this YouTube comment from Raul:"I cant thank you enough for this video. I've been a long time listener for your show on and off for around 3 years now, and I've been learning web development during that time. Back then It was struggle just to get to grips with CSS let alone JS or PHP, but I've always loved the idea of being a freelancer and I watched a lot of your early videos that gave basic principal tips on freelancing that I should have been applying . I've spent hundreds of dollars on online courses over the years because I fell into a shiny object [syndrome] and I became convinced that "If i buy just one more course" then I'll be good to go. I never touched most of those courses. I got to the point where I burned myself out trying to learn a lot of things that really had no relevance to what I should have been learning which was my full stack. As a result I had to take a year break from coding just to see if my efforts in a different field would work out better for me. Things didn't work out there, but at the beginning of this year I saw your is php dead video and that video gave me the jump start I needed to get back into coding. I already had rob Percivals web dev course so I told myself F*** it let me give this course a shot, but I knew I had to do things different this time so now I'm doing my best to apply the "slow is smooth smooth is fast" approach you described to coding and its been night and day. Now im in the PHP section and while its by no means easy, it doesn't feel as hard as it did years ago. Thank you for all that you do John, I would not be where I am now without your videos."This is my response.Show notes: https://www.johnmorrisshow.com/317Support the show: https://www.johnmorrisonline.com/patreonFree tutorials: https://johnsfreetuts.com

I got this response from Sir Joelsuf on EP314 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQCjYAn5wMs):"I would actually say that might put someone at a disadvantage, especially since the temptation of giving up location independent income for returning to the 9-5 is really REALLY great. If you are committed to something like running your own business, I say that things will improve way quicker if you just burn the boats, quit that 9-5 and just get obsessed with it.""Freelancing/self employment is a lifestyle change not just a career change and that is why most just abandon it and go back to the 9-5 after a year or so instead of taking the 2-3 years of full dedication to actually become established. They aren't patient or mentally tough enough."This is my response.Show notes: https://www.johnmorrisshow.com/316Support on Patreon: https://www.johnmorrisonline.com/patreonFree tutorials at: https://johnsfreetuts.com
