Take projects that you like even if they offer a low rate. I was able to get started by taking on clients and projects that I found interesting or that could expand my portfolio, even if the rate was less than desirable. Doing this gave me loads of experience, and I made a little cash on the side. While volunteering can help, consider offering your services at a lower rate.

Every successful relationship you build can lead to another open door regardless of how much they paid or didn't pay for your services.
