Start freelancing with skills outside your job description

When you're thinking about your previous jobs, don't limit yourself to the job description or main responsibilities.

In most full time jobs, employees find themselves doing things that weren't originally in their job description.

For example, if you were responsible for running a company's social media accounts, you probably picked up some writing skills too.

So instead of only thinking about your social media skills, you may also be suited for copywriting or marketing work.

Add every specific skill to the list – the more skills you can name, the better.

Start freelancing using your hobbies and self-taught skills

Your skills aren't limited to just what you've been paid to do. Go beyond the things you've already gotten paid for to things you've taught yourself, or even your hobbies.

What do you spend time doing just because you like doing it? Think about everything.

For example, if you collect stamps, you're probably a strong researcher, organized, and you may even be good at negotiating!

If you've taught yourself how to design graphics in Canva, that counts too.

Again, at this stage, the more skills you can list, the better.

Narrow down your list of skills

Once you have a list of all the skills you've been paid to use, taught yourself, and use as a hobby, now we can start to narrow down that list.

First, prioritize the list by which skills you WANT to get paid for the most.

You can create a new column in your spreadsheet and rank them in order, starting with number one.
