When starting out in freelancing, choosing the kind of work to focus on can feel confusing. Ongoing work means the client keeps giving you tasks regularly, while one-time projects end after a single job. Both have their good and bad sides. One gives stability, while the other can help you gain different experiences quickly. As a beginner trying to grow and learn, which option do you think makes more sense, and why?
