You do not need a complicated tech stack to run a reliable freelance business. Start with three jobs: store client files, remove repeat admin and follow up with the right people.
1. Keep client files in one place
Use a consistent folder structure for briefs, working files, approvals and final handovers. This makes every project easier to find and share.
