[Yusra]

1. The first step to becoming a successful freelancer is to find the niches that interest you the most. Even if you have no idea what that means yet, it's still important. because it will help guide you on where to look for opportunities and clients.

You should also consider whether or not your skills are something other people are willing to pay for. If they aren't, then you'll have to make sure your work is good enough to compete with other freelancers in those fields.

2. Once you've settled on a specific niche and figured out how much time each project takes, it's time to start figuring out how much time it'll take per client. This includes scheduling time for meetings, researching competitors before submitting proposals, etc.

3. Research companies that hire freelancers like you and who have similar clients as yours. Check out their websites and social media pages, read up on what they do, and see if they hire freelancers in your area.

4. Figure out how much money those companies pay their freelance employees and how much they'd pay for someone just like you! You can ask your friends and colleagues for advice on this one; many people are willing to help out fellow entrepreneurs by sharing their experience so other people can learn from it too!

I have been working as a freelancer for almost 3 years, about 70 percent of my income comes through freelancing, the remaining from blogging, content creation, and side hustle. If you want to become a successful freelancer, here are my tips:
Choose high-paying multiple niches: You need to build skills in multiple niches and the niches you have chosen should be able to make you a lot of money. You can make money as a graphic designer, however, you will make more money as a web designer.
Work on multiple platforms: if you want to work as a freelancer, join multiple platforms, do not depend only on one platform.
