Which skills are important to start freelancing?
To start freelancing any business in any field needs communication skills because it’s very important and backbone to sell any services. If you have very good skills in your field but do have not good communication skills you cannot sell them because first of all your clients don’t know about your skills and expertise they just judge you on your communication skills.
