> Thanks for sharing your story, but I think it would be a lot more beneficial if you added the part of how you get clients and how did you market for yourself without a website ...

> For me, the biggest value of being a freelancer is to have a better work-life balance. I find myself not worrying about work, when the clock ain't ticking. And for me this was a major upgrade from previous jobs, where often I lay awake almost all night, thinking about a problem, I wasn't able to solve. Now, I only think about work, when I get paid for it.
