After passionately working over 10 years in the hospitality industry, I would like to spend more time with my family. I've joined Upwork and Elance but need some help in developing my brand as a freelancer.
The great difficulty with bidding sites like that is that, often, it's a race to the bottom. Many people buy based on price alone, so if you want to get a decent income, it's *hard*.
Getting your own clients, rather than working through a bidding site, tends to be a much more reliable way of getting a good income through freelancing and doing more of the work you actually want to do.
