If you don’t know where to even start when it comes to finding freelance jobs online, you’re not alone! In fact, the number one question I get from readers and students is “where can I find clients?!”.

It’s a great question.

The internet is a huge place, after all, and there are so many potential clients lurking behind every click.

At the start of my freelance career, I spent an unhealthy amount of hours getting lost down the rabbit hole of Google searches for things like “freelance jobs online”, “freelance writing jobs”, “jobs looking for freelance writers”.

There are literally so many sites out there claiming to have a hotbed of clients ready and waiting to snap you up. But when you actually start digging, it’s harder than you think to find high-quality clients that are willing to pay you what you’re worth.

So, without further ado, here are the most successful ways I’ve found freelance jobs online:

1. Twitter (In What I Call The “Active Approach”)

Millions of people use Twitter and pretty much every brand imaginable has some kind of presence on this mammoth social media site. This means it is a great place to find freelance jobs online — if you know how to do it.
