I’ve been freelancing for only 5 months and I just realised something about all my clients so far - they have all come from different sources.

These include:

• My first gig - personal contacts via LinkedIn
• Next - someone I met from a local user experience group
• Current contract - from one of the job boards
• Current mentoring client - from an article in Digital Web, then through my website
• One that I turned down - from a product demo I attended years ago, and kept loosely in touch with the vendor
• Next contract (not confirmed)- a previous speaking engagement, then keeping in touch on a professional level

That’s interesting, isn’t it. Shows that it is more about being out there and people knowing I’m available than any sort of direct marketing.
