Thanks for this really helpful information. Great post!

What an inspiring story! I understand, that this article's intention is more educative and experience sharing, but I wonder how you treat to no-code workflow automation tools, such as Fluix , that enables enterprises (small and big) streamline performance without involving outsourcers in the working process?

Brilliant article - bookmarked!

I really should just do what you said Leon Noel suggested and try to ply for some freelance work.

Wow, thanks for putting a lot of really good info together. I'm also a freelance web developer and you mentioned some things I didn't even think about yet. Thanks for taking the time!

The biggest thing I found helpful was the part about the emailing of clients, I've been prone to doing the same thing: not really being clear about a call to action.

Something I would recommend (if you're interested in doing this as well), is to rather rent your own server space (I use Fastcomet) and then just build and deploy your websites on it. So what I do is when I talk to/invoice the clients I add hosting/maintenance to the mix as well. Because websites need updates and maintenance anyways, so every client I get I then also automatically turn into a monthly-paying client.

Thanks again for your post!
