Why I stopped focusing on just one type of freelance job
A lot of folks in this community say you should pick a single skill and stick to it, but I don't agree. Last week, I had only been booking logo design gigs, and then my pipeline dried up completely. So I started saying yes to other stuff, like helping with email newsletters and even basic SEO fixes. That move saved me when two design clients backed out at the same time. I ended up with more steady income by not putting all my eggs in one basket. Now I tell people starting out to keep their skills broad. It might not be the popular choice, but it's what got me through a rough patch. Trusting my ability to pivot has made freelance life less stressful for me.
