A freelancer is not someone who does not have more than one skill. People who say that experts should be in only in one field are not using their common sense.
A person can be an expert in multiple skills so don't take what such people say to heart.
Poor people don't have much knowledge about multiple skills of a multi-talented expert.
I have more than 100 skills and I have worked with a lot of clients from various fields and industries.
And I satisfied them with my work and results.

I get asked a lot how I get beauty and skincare clients, so here is what has helped me most:
📚 A portfolio that shows the work you want to get hired for. No real clients yet? Make passion projects for dream brands.
🎯 Apply only when your portfolio matches the job. Clients are very visual, and a product design portfolio won’t win a packaging project.
🔍 Research a lot. Follow the brands, learn how they talk and who they speak to.
💬 Apply to jobs that resonate with your skills and share related projects to potential clients.
🧴 Buy the products and analyze the packaging. Typography, finish, weight, how the label sits. You’ll notice things you can talk about in your pitch ✨
What would you add?
a portfolio that shows the work you want to get hired for is the best advice here. passion projects for dream brands really work
$400K+ earned on Upwork. Now I'm starting from zero on Contra.
For years I worked almost only on Upwork. But lately, in my experience, it keeps adding new features that make life harder for freelancers instead of easier.
So I decided to try something new.
Honest status: no clients on Contra yet. I'm staying disciplined: showing up here every day and delivering for my current clients.
Attached is my Upwork profile, so you know where I'm coming from.
Which platform has brought you your best clients?
