Hi,
Getting your first freelance client is exciting.
But what happens next is where most beginners get stuck.
So I wrote two new blog posts based on this:
The first one is about what to do right after you get your first freelance client.
→ What to prepare
→ What to clarify
→ How to actually start properly
The second one is about what to do after you finish your first freelance project.
→ How to handle feedback
→ What to do after submission
→ How to turn one client into momentum
You can read them by clicking the button below.
If you’re starting freelancing or figuring things out as you go, these will help you avoid common beginner mistakes.

A simple tool to help you track your freelance hours
I wanted to share a simple but helpful tool I created for freelancers.
It’s a Notion Shift Tracker designed to help you keep track of your working hours, especially those unexpected tasks, revisions, or late-night requests that often get missed.
If you’ve ever struggled to log your time accurately or make sure everything gets included in your invoices, this can help you stay organised and get paid properly.
Here’s how it works:
This Notion Shift Tracker helps you track those unexpected working hours and get paid properly by including them in your invoices and payments.
You can get it for £5
After getting your first client and finishing your first project, what matters most is how you handle everything in between and after.
The small steps, like clarifying details, communicating properly, and learning from each project, are what turn one opportunity into real progress.
You don’t need to do everything perfectly. You just need to do the right things consistently so you can keep moving forward instead of starting over again.
Post to you soon
