Hello, sorry but this might be long. I would like to ask for my case. I graduated in year 2020, I've been jumping from one job to another but none of them are related to what I want to do as a freelancer. I had three local clients but the 1st one ran away as soon as I delivered the job while the other two were very "old-time"?, they don't even know how to use a computer. So, I've got no real review or testimonials. I only could rely on my college's and university's projects. Does people like me need to find a testimony 1st before actually started the freelancing? I feel like I need to know because I'm really afraid if I fail.... ✏️🐰
I would go to anyone you can to find testimonials, even if it's friends or family who have seen your work, it doesn't need to be from a paying client, it just needs to be a real person who can defend the work you're doing. What type of freelancing are you trying to get into?
