Hello Alexandria,

It would be smart to have an online portfolio website where you show all your previous work.
Show this previous work to your client before you start the project, usually clients ask for your work or they hire you because they like your work.

If your client refuses to pay before starting a project, you're probably not dealing with the right person.
