Freelancing: How to Get Your First Global Client

Freelancing gives you the freedom to work on what you love, but finding that first client is often the hardest part. ### 1. Build a 'Proof-of-Skill' Portfolio Don't just list technologies. Show results. Build full-stack clones of popular apps or solve a real-world problem for a local business. ### 2. Craft a Niche Instead of being a 'Full-Stack Developer', be the 'Next.js Performance Specialist'. Specialization allows you to charge higher rates and attract more specific clients. ### 3. Professional Communication Your English doesn't have to be perfect, but your clarity does. Respond quickly, ask deep questions about the business problem, and always under-promise and over-deliver.
