best tip: narrow down your specialization as much as you can, and do a lot of projects on that to boast your skillsets. if doing graphic design stick to it and dig deeper. if it's writing stick to writing , Don't think I ll grasp programming too. it's important because that's the only way to impress any potential client. my belief is "Jack of all trades can't survive in freelancing world unless they are veterans"

online freelancing -- tough world out there, so much cheaper IT work force from third world countries that beginners have to struggle a lot (in 3rd world countries too) so what i heard when I was sending applications and bids in odesk(now Upwork) was to keep on reading job requirements writing customised response letter and your bid, just don't quit to soon, And after you have some good (3R's) reviews, recommendations and references, your job hunting will get easier eventually. not an expert opinion, I personally quit after getting tired of writing letters after letters, and realized study some more and go after bigger fish

there are tons of other tips I would love to share, but they would be baseless because I myself am looking for a good job and learning from my mistakes in interviews & technical tests.
