How to Start Freelancing with no Experience

We are in tough times. Unemployment is at massive highs and yep, me and my entrepreneur friends are crushing it. Everybody that I know that is paying attention right now is doing very, very well. The people that are hiding in their bedrooms and not experiencing the outside world are doing poorly. And why is that? It's because the macroeconomics of the world's don't actually influence individuals. Just because all your friends are unemployed doesn't mean that you have to be unemployed. 

One of the easiest ways to start making money right now with no experience is through freelancing. Finding people that will pay you for a skill and charging those people for that skill. That is one of the easiest ways to break into entrepreneurship. 

The first thing you want to do is list out your current skills that you can do remotely. That's the way you get started freelancing. We're not coming up with the next Google. We are coming up with things that people pay for? 

Here's an example. Have you written a blog post? Do you have a portfolio of photos? Look through what you have and list out your skills. Now, once you have that list of skills, we want to pick the right Niche. What I mean is you want to get hyper specific. What's your specialization? Do you build eCommerce sites for rapidly growing companies? Do you build websites for restaurants that are not online yet? So that's the kind of thing if you're trying to really get started, that's the way to go. Go for companies that are easy to sell to and have money. 

We talk about specifically how to do this, step by step by step, including how to get more case studies which if you're just getting started with no experience might be worth learning how to borrow other people's case. You can skip the line and once you have a service and you have an itch to sell to, they want to pitch that Niche. So how do you pitch that Niche? What does that look like? Create a list of companies that follow the criteria that you mesh. You can use Google for this. Then you want to write a cold email to them. Ideally, when you're just starting out, you've got no experience. You want to try to find the biggest low-hanging fruit possible. Meaning you want a niche, that's easy to sell to and a service that sells itself. 

So while your time is cheap, spend it on finding something that's going to work. So you go through the whole testing process and I would do all of this without even starting a website. Don't have a website. You don't need a domain name. I started my first business with just a free Gmail account, you know? Need to go through and buy a bunch of these tools. You can, if you want. Just get started.
