How do you become a freelance consultant?
If you are in IT services, learning and reskilling is a never-ending process. However, as a freelancer, the market changes will hit you much earlier than if you were working in a salaried position. You also have to research to identify the "next" hot skill and also find time and resources to master the new skill. Many times if the new skill or product is proprietary you'll hit multiple challenges to get access to demos, trial servers and tools to try and experiment and learn. So plan and it may take more time as a freelancer.

How do you become a freelance consultant?
As a freelancer who is starting, you have to be not just good at your niche (if that is not marketing and sales), but you also have to be good at marketing your services and selling your services. For some who are not used to sales activities, it can sometimes become a bit uncomfortable. However, without putting yourself out there and making you and your services and the quality of your services out there you'll miss out on opportunities. Finally, when you get a good lead, you need to be read with the market data and price data to convert that lead into your next project, next opportunity.
