I asked some days ago already but I hope to get some more advices. How do I become a freelancer? I'm tired of being a wageslave and spending 8h in an office with my boss looking at my screen all the time. Would like to be my own boss at my pace. I know however, that being a freelancer can be tough too.

Are there any sources, books, etc. that you can recommend? My field is UI/UX design and I have a strong portfolio. But I don't know how I can get my first clients. Should I just mail thousand companies and introducing myself? I would rather stay away from those many freelance platforms as the competition is high and there are tons of people who do the job for 10% of the fair payment.

My idea is also to make an PDF file with an introduction, my skills, my recent work and then some pricing options. Like 3 days of work as a cheapest package and 7 days of work for a high price to get a fully working prototype of their app/software. Of course flexible, so that it depends on what the client could need and pay.

I just can't really figure out where to start and get my first jobs. Do you also have some general advices about this? Also is 500 Euro per day a good rate to start with?
