Looking for advice from experienced freelancers & founders 👋
I’m currently expanding my freelance work as a Full-Stack & AI Engineer and I’d love some practical advice from people who are already successfully getting clients.
I build:
AI-powered applications & RAG systems
SaaS platforms
Custom CRM / HRM / QMS systems
AI automation & agents
Full-stack web applications
Modern business & corporate websites
I’ve already built and shipped projects across AI, recruitment, manufacturing, real estate, property management, and business software.
I’d especially like feedback on:
How are you currently finding good freelance clients?
Which platforms/channels are actually working for you?
Does my portfolio communicate enough value to attract international clients?
What would you change or improve in my positioning?
Are there opportunities to collaborate on projects where you need an AI/full-stack developer?
I’m open to freelance projects, subcontracting, long-term collaboration, and working with agencies or other freelancers.
If you have experience getting clients or building a freelance business, I'd genuinely appreciate your advice.
The long service list makes it hard for a client to know what to hire you for first. I’d pick one kind of client and lead with one result they can picture, then let the broader stack sit behind that proof.
thank you eris, actually i am not alone i have a team who is working in different technology for which i have created multiple services
thank you for guide i will do focus on one service only
Designed and developed ClubTree, a SaaS platform that helps membership organizations manage their websites, members, events, and communications from one centralized system.
ClubTree combines a public-facing website with an administrative dashboard, giving organizations the tools to manage membership applications, member directories, attendance, newsletters, documents, and organizational workflows.
The platform was designed around real-world service club needs, with an emphasis on intuitive navigation, role-based access, and simplifying administrative tasks.
My role: Product strategy, user research, UI/UX design, full-stack development, testing, and launch.
Key features:
- Membership applications and directories
- Event and attendance management
- Website content management
- Newsletters and member communications
- Role-based access and administrative dashboards
- Integrated organizational workflows
Outcome: A functional membership management platform with a live implementation for the Rotary Club of Charlottesville.
Going live with one real club in Charlottesville and building around how they actually run is the right way to do it. Club admin tools usually feel stuck in 2010, so this looks like a big upgrade. How did you land them, through someone in the club?
