    Hi! I'm a designer. I plan to start freelancing next month but I have no experience yet. Any ideas on how to start and what are the things that I need to focus on? Pls help me out, Thanks! FYI, I've been working FT for 5 years so i do have pretty solid work experience but in terms of freelancing, completely zero knowledge.
