Since starting out becoming a freelancer myself. one of the biggest challenges that I faced was getting orders in the first place. If you are new to the freelancing scene, it can be difficult to get even your first order, this is why I chose to offer a service where people could order a smaller service for a smaller fee to see my work and then if they liked my work, they had the option to then order more when they wished.

Another challenge I faced was competition, with so many freelancers on the internet especially now, you can face a lot of competition, this may mean you may have to offer your services at a smaller price to get any gigs.

One of the biggest challenges new freelancers face is finding and securing work. Many freelancers have to build up a reputation in order to get clients to trust them and hire them for jobs. Freelancers also need to manage their own finances, find ways to market themselves, and learn how to set their own rates.

I think that many new freelancers always have a harder time finding new clients and since they do not have any experience, their work could also get rejected in the end.

Actually communication is one of the major challenges that some of us are really facing as been freelancer.
