One of the most common misconceptions we see with new freelancers goes like this:
“I can’t get clients because I don’t have a portfolio. And I can’t build a portfolio because I don’t have clients.”
Most new freelancers think of this as a chicken-or-egg kind of problem stopping them from ever really starting…
But you don’t actually need client work to get hired →
You need proof that you can solve a problem.
Those are not the same thing…
The problem:
You’re new to freelancing, or getting into a new field, and don’t have any previous client projects to use as examples in your portfolio.
