6 min read A Guide To Action For Freelance Newbies In IT.

Freelancing has many advantages, but there is a nuance. You need time, a clear plan of your actions and a search for customers. Then the possibilities are limitless, and the income is high. 

Let's talk about how an IT specialist has to freelance.
 

At first, you can take orders that are not too expensive. 
The main thing is that it is interesting, and they help you develop. Even with a small payment, it is worth trying to write high-quality code. You will be able to upload these works to your portfolio and show what a cool specialist you are.
 

In fact, there are quite a lot of freelance IT specialists now. It is confirmed by economic institutions. Someone is busy with graphics, someone is developing and maintaining websites, and someone is coding. You will not be left without customers. It is cheaper for businesses to work with freelancers. No taxes are paid on you. There are no bureaucratic difficulties.

The situation in relation to freelance programmers is changing a lot. And very quickly.
 

At the same time, freelancing, as we have already written, is possible to earn more than in the state. In the beginning, it is quite possible that you will be able to charge about 48,000 rubles for orders. And then – how will you get settled. And then. No one prevents you from combining freelance and main work.
 

One of the pitfalls is that you can't rush into the profession. Well, or it will be very difficult. Experienced freelancers with a high rating collect the cream. Unequal competition. Think about the design of the profile. The main thing is not to overdo it with information. There is no need to write that according to the sign of the horoscope you are an ophiuchus. Assemble a portfolio. Take even small projects if you don't have any others. Or educational. If it's completely empty, make out some examples specifically for the portfolio. Just promise on your little fingers that you will not post other people's work. The deception will be revealed anyway.
 

Customers need not only those specialists who know how to do something complex. Perhaps, to begin with, it is worth taking a part from large-scale works. If you only own the layout, team up with colleagues who will be busy with the rest. So you will not miss customers.
 

Earnings will come as experience. First you will need to take a lot of orders and work non-stop. But this is the norm for freelancing in any field. Just don't expect that if you are an IT specialist, 300 thousand bucks will instantly fall on you. Exaggerated, but demonstrative and honest. Do not forget that your diligence will pay off in any case. 

So don't go limp. Everything is in your hands, as always.
