Ask How do you decide whether to focus on one type of client or work across different industries?

[Edward22]

Some freelancers work with the same kind of client repeatedly, while others take projects from many different industries. There is an argument that focusing on one industry makes you easier to recommend and more trusted in that space. At the same time, working across different areas can feel more stable when one sector slows down. The choice seems to affect everything from how you market yourself to the type of work you end up doing long term. How do you decide whether to build your freelance work around one specific industry or keep it open across different types of clients?
