I'm curious to hear how people here actually got started with freelancing.
What was the first skill you used to get a freelance client or make money online?
More importantly, how did you learn the skill?
Did you teach yourself through YouTube and free resources, take an online course, learn from someone who was already doing it, or simply learn by practicing and working on real projects?
If you're already freelancing, how long did it take you to feel confident enough to start looking for clients?
And if you're still learning, what skill are you currently working on?
It would be interesting to see the different paths people in this community have taken to get started.
