Topic:Freelance
Answer:
Junior — tough. Clients want cases. Better 6–12 months in-house, then take 1–2 small freelance clients in parallel, then full freelance.
PPC freelance is popular, but a junior without cases isn't competitive: clients trust budgets only to those who can show cases with ROAS. This gives you an alternative path to your first money in IT. Strategy: first get 6–12 months of in-house experience with real campaigns, build cases (numbers, charts, results), then take freelance clients in parallel. After 1.5–2 years — you can switch to full freelance at $1500–3000/month with 3–5 clients. The alternative — an execution role at an agency running many clients. Not sure?
