Hi my name is Muhammad Ali I am a MERN stack devloper I am learning more about MERN stack deeply. My Goals for 2025: To start freelancing. I want to get these 3 things from the community: 1.  Crystal clear guide for how to find clients . 2.  Improve my mind set 3. start steady income For fun I like to do these 3 things: 1.  exploring different Operating systems. mostly debian or arch based with hyprland setup 2.  gaming

As-salaam-u-alaikum everyone I am a full-stack MERN developer. I know React, Node, Express, MongoDB, REST APIs, authentication, and I can build small full-stack applications on my own. I’m not a beginner in learning — my problem is direction and earning. I have never earned my first dollar online, and that’s where I feel stuck and confused. My questions are simple: - Based on my current skills, am I ready to start working with clients? - If yes, what should I focus on first: freelancing platforms, outreach, or improving specific skills? - What kind of projects or positioning actually help land the first client? Any Experienced Devloper please guide me
