Ask How do you know when a slow start in freelancing is normal and when something is actually wrong?

[Edward22]

Starting out in freelancing usually comes with a quiet period where work is hard to find and responses are few. Most people expect that, but it gets harder to stay patient when weeks turn into months and nothing seems to move. There is a real difference between a normal slow start and a sign that something needs to change in your approach. How do you personally tell the difference, and at what point did you decide to make changes?
