I'm sorry tos ay, but there is no easy way to becomeing a succsessfull freelancer. theres alot of dedication, and time we put in. aswell as the money we need to fork out to buy our programs. which run over 500 bucks a pop. theres no confirmed "steps" to becomeing a freelancer.. . BUT you need to have the nessisary tools and talent. you need to be creative and inovative, and you also need to be able to communicate with the client in a profeshional and relaxed manner to make them feel safe. theres alot more than that, because its diferent for every freelancer.
EDIT: and becomeing a freelancer dose NOT guerrente that youll have a fararri, and own a 400,000 dollar home. alot of freelancers are like everyone elce. and most freelancers sometimes struggle. theres no guerrentee or fixed pay, so you need to put money away for next month..etc.
cheers
