Our Freelancers are Getting New Clients - Are You?

Everyday we hear from freelancers letting us know they are getting calls from potential clients who found them on FreelanceLocalTech.com.

What does it take to get new clients?

1. Make sure your name is out there. Don't be shy. Listing on FreelanceLocalTech is a good start and it's free.
2. Develop relevant content. Prospective clients are scanning through tons of information, make sure your skills and industry expertise stand out.
3. Don't waste space on information that isn't important. Your marketing materials shouldn't look like your resume. Stay away from chronological lists.
4. Be search friendly. Use terms clients are likely to use in their search.
5. Make your ad stand out. Be bold. Check out options to make your ad rank higher, be shown in more cities and stand out.

Finding freelance work is all about marketing. You can't be shy, your name and skill sets need to be out there. For a general discussion on freelance marketing visit the The Blog at FreelanceLocalTech.

Applying for projects is free and remember, what makes us different from other freelancer websites is that we don’t take a cut and we don't get in the middle of your relationship with your client.

5 Surefire Ways to Screw Up as a Freelancer

Ok, there are likely more than 5 ways, but here are some really time-tested methods for screwing up as a freelancer.
1. Be disorganized.  Ever lose a timesheet with 50 billable hours on it?  Lose notes from a customer phone call or a design session?  Clients want you to be more organized than they are.  Don’t let your inner slob out.
2. Annoy the customer.  Customers can be completely infuriating sometimes with unreasonable requirements, curt e-mails, idiotic support requests, and such.  You feel completely justified yelling at them.  Don’t.  You’re getting yourself caught up in your personal feelings instead of focusing on being helpful to the customer.  Want to keep customers for a long time?  Learn to play on the same team all the time.
