#5: Where do freelance clients actually come from?

from I had plans Hosted by Smaragda Vavakaris

Everyone thinks freelancing is instant freedom, flexible days, and clients magically appearing. Spoiler: it doesn’t work like that. In this episode of I Had Plans, I share the real ways freelancers find work — networking, platforms, referrals, and yes, even a bit of awkward pitching. If you’ve ever wondered where your first client comes from, or how to start building your freelance life, this episode is short, honest, and sprinkled with a little sarcasm… and maybe a snack.
