Take a look at how you can build, and finally enter the world of
successful freelancers!
Your Brand, Your Business
When we think of
"branding", what comes to our mind is T.V commercials where their logos are repeatedly splashed across the screen. right ? But when it comes to building a brand online
as a freelance writer, we don't often have the funds needed for a mass scale
campaign designed to highlight our skills and saturate the marketplaces with
advertisements of our services.So, we need
to take a different approach;
a grassroots approach.
When building brand you always want to focus on quality, not just in the actual projects you
create, but in the way we handle every transaction. You want to keep in contact with the people
you are writing for, you want to meet deadlines (even on free offers), and you
want to use your offers as the foundation for building your online brand.
You also
want to start building a reputation for value and integrity.
Every post you make on
marketplaces or open communities should be written as though you are speaking
directly to clients and careful that you don't give off the wrong
impression and by retaining consistency in both the work you
are paid to do and in your public writing styles.
A common mistake is that many new
freelance writers do.
They aren't
particular about their writing style unless they are being paid. They don’t go the extra mile in satisfying
clients, and they aren’t careful to accept only as many projects as they can
actually complete on time. It’s easy to
get carried away when clients are anxious to outsource their projects to you,
but if you aren’t realistic about the work you can do within a specific
timeframe, you’ll risk credibility and ultimately destroy any chance you had
that the client will hire you again.
For many freelancers, our
work comes from only a small segment of our client base who consistently hire
us again and again. This means it’s
critical that we work towards establishing a long-term relationship with our
clients, and that everything can to go above and beyond with every
order.
If we participate on freelance
forums, it's likely that anyone considering hiring is going to browse
through our past posts and threads to get a feel for writing style, personality and of course, previous feedback and comments posted.
You want to make sure that when these people do a
search on you that the only thing they find is consistent quality - experienced
- personable and professionalism.
