Fullstack developers, security experts, data scientists, CTOs, etc earn more.

AI, ML, VR, gaming, headless CMS are some areas to focus on.

** To get a high-paying freelancing client **

standout in the crowd

  • One should be a true professional, with a good portfolio, delivering in time and get testimonials from clients to increase the social proof.

  • Freelance marketplaces are crowded, standout with portfolio, testimonials, solution-oriented and handcrafted cover letters.

  • Focus on a project at a time, so that you can deliver the good output and deploy it in time.

  • Build your personal brand through blogging, speaking in conferences, helping others, contributing to opensource projects, etc. This helps you to charge high since you have enough to show and convince a client.

These are in my observation, I am not a freelancing guru yet.
