Tips for your freelance Business
- Be Positive, we believe the hard days are there to make you rise up and enhance your skills and capabilities as a company benefiting our economy. You have a skill whose demand is growing now. Thats your major positive.
- You can not mention the projects you have done during a job as your own, but you can mention them as your projects while working for your employer, People do understand this. So mentioning them is fine, but you can not show them as demo.
- Build a demo/portfolio of your own, a small one that shows at least some basic skills, you can give demos to your potential clients.
- We recommend putting together a webpage, simply listing your skills, mentioning your projects and providing link to download your self made demo/portfolio, you can call it your portfolio page, just make it simple html page, you can gradually update it later with time, Just remember every journey starts with first step. So take the first step with positive thinking.
- On different freelancing sites, keep on searching for projects and post low bids, and in your bids encourage buyers to visit your profile page and check the demo/portfolio you made. + for initial projects offer comparatively low price, once you win couple of projects, you can update your rates.
- Also remember to do not prepare a general bid response, but write your bids/proposal based on project requirements, and always be honest.
- Remember creation of profile is not a one day activity, you put it together once, but you keep on updating it regularly, at least once a month.
