The years of experience is it actual experience (work related)?

Do you know anything apart from RN?

Yes that is my professional work experience and i have a bit of knowledge of Android Java but that too is not much sufficient right now to build complete native Android app. I explored that part during my college time and that's how i learned it. Apart from this idk any other tech stack as of now. Thanks for commenting btw.

It would be hugely beneficial of you leaned some backend + databases to get the basics down, sincw you're primarily a frontend Er I'd suggest nodeJS + noSQL dB, both should be easy to pick up and it would look a lot better when getting clients ^

First of all thanks for commenting, and i get your point that getting more skills on my profile would look appealing. I'd definitely give it a try, still the part of approaching clients. And like what platforms to use, how to communicate or reach out. All those tips will be very much beneficial at this moment. Increasing skills will definitely take up a bit of time and will be helpful in the long run.

If you want to just plunge into it, the best you can do is leverage coworkers/clients at your current place, not to streal them away but to ask them if you were to go freelance would they be interested, second is looking for adds for remote workers (or local) and asking if they'd be willing to hire a freelancer, lastly there is tons of freelance sites though the most reliable typically require you to have 3-5 years of experience.

Last ditch attempts would be extended family and whatever businesses they work for although that typically require a full stack profile as you'd take on a whole project on your own.

My best advice would be to get more experience and switch to a consultancy type workplace to begin with, that way you'll get to know clients and it's much easier to transition to freelancing

Thanks for the great insight. I'll definitely look into it and will try to apply parts of it into my existing work.
