I've been freelancing on and off for over a year now and I've found it both enjoyable, profitable, and challenging. There aren't many tips around for free as to how to break into the business or where to go once you've successfully started, so I made an article about it. Hopefully it can help a few curious or confused people on what to do and not do and how to start a rewarding, do-it-yourself career.
