freelance projects
Bidding and begging for projects won’t take you any where.
They want you to bid because they want your membership fees.
Would you agree?
Here is what you must do:
Do you have a portfolio?
Don’t say you don’t have it.
No body is going hire you or trust you if you don’t have a portfolio.
You must start making your portfolio right now if you really want some real money from freelancing.
How many FIVE STAR feedbacks do you have?
If you have some, that’s not enough.
If your clients give feedback like “Get freelancer”, “Nice job”… that’s not enough.
You must ask your clients to give a long feedback at least 2, 3 line feedback ending with “Will hire again”.
How do you pitch?
“Please give me the project.” Like this?
You must pitch the direct plan. How much time will it take you. What is your master plan for the project. Take interest.
If you are new:
Do a project for free.
Ask like “Can I do it for free in exchange of a good feedback?”
No body gives you a single penny until you have social proof.
Why would they?
If you are participating in a contest just tell the client “I will finish your project within a day if you choose me the winner.”
Ask questions “How is my work? Can I have a feedback? What can I do more to make it perfect?”
Engage with the client. Keep him busy so he can have his focus on your work.
After asking for many edits, do you think he will choose someone else?
I told “Don’t bid”. Then what is the alternative?
Play contests.
If you are new, bidding is just waste of time.
Be confident.
Compete with the world’s best freelancers.
Beat them and win the contest.
After winning the contest, stay in touch with the client for more projects.
Stay connected with WhatsApp, Skype, social media etc.
Everybody wants to work with the freelancers with who they worked before. No body wants to go to a freelancing platform and recruit again.
Freelancing can get you thousands of dollars sitting at home if you do it right.
