Ask What are the most common reasons freelancers fail in their first year?

[Edward22]

A lot of people start freelancing with high energy but give up before they even find their rhythm. Some blame the market, others say the competition is too strong, but many times the real problem is something the freelancer could have controlled. Things like pricing too low, not following up with clients, or spending too much time on the wrong platforms can quietly drain progress. What do you think causes most new freelancers to quit before they really get started?
