Freelancing: How I Went From $10 to $45/hr?

In 2019, I had my first job as an ice cream scooper! Now, 5 years later, I run my own business and I am completely self-employed. Here are the career moves I made to get where I am today!

✺ | 2019 - $10/hr as an ice cream scooper

✺ | 2020 - $0/hr Government Relations Intern

✺ | 2021 - $12/hr Creative Marketing Intern

✺ | 2022 - $20/hr Product Management Intern

✺ | 2023 - $20-30/hr Freelancer in Marketing / Social Media / Design

✺ | 2024 - $45/hr Freelancer in Graphic Design

I did all of this without a marketing or graphic design degree. In freelancing, no one ever asked me for a degree or if I was in school. So, do not let that stop you from trying! I never paid anyone for a course to learn, I watched a lot of YouTube videos + learned as I went along my freelance career.
