My First Data Science Contracting Side-Gig (How I Did It)
In this video I talk about how I landed my first data science contracting side-gig. It is hard to land your first client, and I think my story could help you get started with data science freelancing.
I personally didn't use a website like upwork or fiver to get my first data science contract. I used good old-fashioned networking.
key takeaways for landing a data science contract
1) Play the long game, these relationships are built incrementally
2) Network and meet people
3) Build a track record
4) Seek to understand the other person's view of data science and analytics. What are their pain points? What are their goals?
5) Give free advice and work. Become a trusted advisor.
6) Follow up and make it as easy as possible for them to hire you.
