From Fiverr Freelancing to Freedom: My Journey as a Full-Time Freelancer (with a Day Job!)
Remember that feeling of endless “submit” buttons and crickets chirping back?
Yep, those were my early days of freelancing.
Stuck in a loop of crafting proposals and hitting send, I felt like I was throwing my work into a black hole.
Six whole months flew by, and my inbox remained stubbornly empty.
Self-doubt started to gnaw at me.
Was I good enough? Did I choose the wrong path? But then, a glimmer of hope.
A notification popped up on Fiverr, my first-ever order!
It was a tiny $5 gig, a simple writing task, but to me, it was a golden ticket.
Finally, someone believed in my skills!
That first project might not have led to a waterfall of clients, but it was a spark that ignited my freelance journey.
From there, it was a slow and steady climb.
I kept putting myself out there, sending proposals, and connecting with other freelancers.
Slowly but surely, the orders started trickling in.
