3 Steps To Become a Freelance Project Manager

When I decided to go out on my own, I had no idea how to secure my first project management gig.

But I knew one thing.

I needed to find a way to stand out in a crowded market.

I didn’t have a massive portfolio or a brand backing me.

Just my skills and the drive to prove myself.

Here’s how I did it.

1. I focused on one industry.

I didn’t try to appeal to every potential client. I chose tech startups because I knew their pain points.

2. I crafted one offer.

Instead of listing everything I could do, I created a package specifically for product launches. Simple, clear, and exactly what they needed.

3. I used one channel.

LinkedIn was my battlefield. I optimized my profile, engaged with relevant posts, and reached out to decision-makers directly.

I remember thinking:

“Why would they hire me over someone with more experience?”

But then it happened.

A founder reached out.

He was launching a new product and needed someone who understood both tech and timelines.

That first job wasn’t huge, but it was my foot in the door.

And from there, things snowballed.

So, if you’re struggling with this, my advice is this:

1. Pick one industry.

2. Create one killer offer.

3. Go all in on one channel.

You don’t need a huge portfolio.

You just need the right approach.
