Steps to Becoming a Freelancer

The real questions are: what do you want to do, what are your skill sets, and what is it you have a passion for. For me, it's writing. Writing is alchemy, magic, and life-changing. Some may choose to create fine art, others to make videos, or still, others to code, design graphics, or engage in clairvoyance.

Your attitude and starting point are everything. The mindset should be 'what can I do to bring my dream to life and earn good money at the same time,' rather than 'what do I have to do.'

Exploring Freelance Profiles and Platforms

My first passion is writing fantasy magical fiction, so I started my journey with Patreon by writing a letter and sending it via cosmic post to St Francis de Sale, the patron saint of writers, and creating a magical story of an alta ego who sets up a freelance writing business using chaos magic, Catholic saints, and visualization.

The point I'm trying to make is to be creative, use your imagination, and bring your success into reality. Freelancing can be an excellent vehicle for that experience.
