I'm planning to start freelancing as a full-stack developer, but I'm not sure where to begin.
I know the basics, but I want to understand how people actually get clients and build a freelance career.
Some questions I have:
What skills should I focus on before applying for projects?
Which tech stack is most in demand for freelance work?
What kind of portfolio should I build?
Which platforms are worth using (Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal, etc.)?
How did you get your first client?
What mistakes should beginners avoid?
I'd really appreciate any advice from experienced freelancers. Thanks!
