Ask What is the difference between offering freelancing services locally versus globally?

[Brendan]

Working with local clients can mean easier communication, faster trust, and sometimes even face-to-face meetings, but the pool of clients is much smaller. Going global opens up more opportunities and often better pay, but it also means dealing with time zone differences, currency issues, and clients who have many other freelancers to choose from. Neither approach is perfect and many freelancers end up mixing both. Do you focus more on local clients or international ones, and which has worked better for your freelancing business?
