Enter response:You typically can't just go "cold turkey" freelance if you don't have some experience and a plan. It's best to work in the industry first to learn the in and outs and establish your name as well as some connections to both vendors and clients.
What's your experience? I see you don't have a website in your profile. Do you have examples of your work?
The best way to get clients is through word of mouth. That means you have to be good at what you do and allow time for it to happen. Try working a part-time job to have some steadier income while you work on your client base. Talk to people you know, but don't fall into the "do it for free and I'll promote you" type deals.
