Freelancing is the best way to earn money for students as well as for professionals. Freelancing makes you self-employed without working in another company. But to become a successful freelancer, you must have good skill sets in a particular domain like if you want to develop the app, then you need to have excellent hands-on experience in app development.
Well, guys, in this article, I will share some best freelancing tips for beginners.
02. Send them a monthly newsletter - Send your clients a newsletter of your successful work, discounts, and you can also tell them that you are providing a few more services in this domain. By doing this, you can be in touch with your clients.
03. Alway use the word "we" - By using "we", the clients will think that you have the team and you are not alone working on projects. They think that whole team members are working together. And the chances of getting work will become high.
04. Develop new skills and learn new technologies - As new technologies come into the market, people will stop using old technologies, for example, a few years back, PHP was used in the back-end, but now currently people are using python for the back-end. So, for continuous work, you need to upgrade your skills.
05. Don't lower your rate - If you reduce your price that your brand value will decrease, instead of lowering your rates, convince them that you will provide excellent service. And make sure that you provide good service to them. Keep in mind, set price as per market stands and never reduce it for your clients.
06. Always use promise word & deliver over - Promise your client that you will complete work before the deadline and try to deliver as early as possible with 100% quality.
08. Be connected with the freelancing agencies - By being close with the freelancing agencies they will help you by connecting you with clients but they will charge money from you. But you will get work and you can make money.
