Introvert? Here take this job where your success can literally depend on how well you interact with clients.

I'm sure it can be done, but as an introvert who has done a some freelance work, I have to say it was one of the worst working experiences of my life. I would not recommend it, at least to myself.

How to be a successful freelance introvert: (1) Spend 99% of your time on marketing (2) Don't be an introvert.

Thanks for more evidence to prove: (1) Tech has been usurped by extroverts. (2) Nerds are not welcome in tech. (3) Hacker News is not a tech site. (4) Hacker News is a marketing site.
