I freelanced for a few years and 90% of the freelance work came from former employers who knew they could rely on me because I had worked for them before as an employee. The rest of the work came from networking. The workload was enough that I never had to publicly advertise.
The most successful freelancers in my area have a specialty or two like specification writing, interior finishes, furniture/equipment, historic building research, etc. Things that many architects aren't comfortable with, or not interested in, and are happy to subcontract out to someone.

Working remotely / Freelance
Hi, I'm wondering how people manage to be a freelancer in the architectural field. I'm looking to venture into this.
What is your main source of work? referals? any webpage?
I know all the work will be either as a draftsman in autocad, revit, etc but I'm ok with this and I'm super interested!
Thanks.
I go to stripclubs. Good talent
