Do you know what character traits are needed to beat the competition and succeed in freelancing?

What is more in demand?
How much pay?
I will answer all your questions.

To become a successful freelance web designer, you need to balance design and business marketing skills.

Let us handle design first
UI(User Interface) & UX (User Experience)
While UI deals with graphic look or style of the website, UX refers to user experience or how people feel (calm, frustrated, etc.) when they use a website. To do this, you research your users and create “images” (profiles of imaginary ideal users).

Graphic design and web design software.
You need to know how to use tools like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Sketch.

Html & CSS
HTML and CSS are essential for design work. HTML (the Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are two of the core technologies for building Web pages. HTML provides the structure of the page, CSS the (visual and aural) layout, for a variety of devices.

JavaScript.
If you can program using JavaScript, you will have a huge advantage over the competition. JavaScript allows you to take static elements into your site and make them interactive. With JavaScript, you can create Twitter feeds that update automatically, image sliders, and more!

Business Marketing Skills skills every web designer needs

Now that you have the design and technical details, you only need to add some soft skills to stay organized and effective in your web design.

Digital Marketing Skills
It is not enough to have the skills. You need to let people who can pay you for the skill you have find you.
Digital marketing deals with making yourself visible online through search engines, websites, social media, email, and mobile apps.

As a Freelancer, you would need to possess skills highlighted below;

- being stress-resistant: clients will stress you sometimes on small project

- self-motivated: sometimes you would get bad reviews, don't feel discouraged.

- good financial record monitoring/keeping of spendings: you need to have savings. You cannot just spent every money you make.

How much do freelancers make?

The amount of money a freelancer make per month is not constant.
In freelancing, sometimes, you will be making a lot of money and other times making none. So you need to save during the rainy days. Your being successful depends on how you are able to save and invest when you are making the money.
