Hey folks, I want to dip my hand in freelancing. My job is quite laid back and i have a lot of free time.
I have been grinding leetcode in my free time but I'm bored of it. So, I decided why not use this to expand my real working knowledge and earn some side income too.
Any experienced freelance person, please guide on how to start and where to. I know it takes a serious hustle to break the first client. But starting itself seems daunting to me.
Thanks for your time
you can start with upwork, DONT tell your employer, make sure that the resume you are floating on upwork doesn't have current company, same goes with LinkedIn avoid it as much as possible, upwork will charge your 1% tds which will reflect in your income tax, just pay as per bracket and be happy. P.S: I freelanced for 6 months then left it as my workload increased, general upwork advice: avoid jobs in which you have to support some dumb h1b indian, not worth it, do some certs and add it, it usually helps, again be wary of clients esp indian, who will try to pay outside upwork, try working and establishing a repo and then take payments via wise to avoid income tax.
Bro taking payment through wise & leaving it out of income from other sources when filing ITR is ok?
it doesn't show up in income tax and govt is happy as it gets $, but i have not done transactions above $1000, but have seen people on reddit doing huge sums without it being an issue
