Exploring Freelancing

Note: If you are from India and are not able to use your card, please let me know for UPI on Twitter.

"Completed Exploring Freelancing, I absolutely loved it. All the chapters after From Twitter Friends to Playing Clients onwards were so so well written and gripping."

I started my freelancing journey in May 2020 and decided to step on the pathless path in May 2023 to become an independent writer and developer while doing freelance work part-time to pay the bills while I experiment with my curiosity.

• Where to find clients on Twitter?
• What should be the duration of the contract?
• Should I charge monthly or hourly?
• What if the clients don't pay?

You're at the right place if you can relate to these questions that wander in your mind. Every chapter is accompanied by lessons learned, so you don't waste your time making them and learn to make better choices yourselves.

I hope my efforts provide value to you and help you land your first client successfully!
