From Struggling Employee to In-Demand Freelancer in Just 90 Days
If you’ve ever dreamed of quitting your job and working for yourself, this is the roadmap you’ve been waiting for.

Step 1: I Discovered My Sellable Skills
I didn’t reinvent the wheel. I simply took what I was already good at — writing, design, and tech — and packaged it as services.
Pro tip: You don’t need to be a genius. You only need to be a few steps ahead of the client you’re helping.
Step 2: I Picked the Right Platforms
Instead of wasting time everywhere, I focused on two places:
Upwork for premium long-term clients.
LinkedIn for building authority and attracting leads.
