Experienced Professional Seeks Guidance on Transitioning to Freelancing

An individual with 15 years of corporate experience and 10 years as a business owner/self-employed is looking to enter freelancing. This extensive background is a significant asset, providing a strong foundation for independent work. The opportunity lies in leveraging their professional network, business acumen, and specialized skills to offer services as a freelancer. To succeed, they should identify their most marketable skills (e.g., project management, consulting, specialized technical skills), define their target niche, set competitive rates, build a professional online presence (website, LinkedIn, portfolio), and actively seek clients through platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or through direct outreach and networking. Focus on building a strong portfolio and collecting testimonials.
