Are You a Freelancer?

Hi,

Would you like some free help with your freelance design business? I am putting together a course on how to help freelancers like you build your business. It's based on my experiences freelancing for the past 12 years and I want to share with you what I have learnt.

Starting out from scratch was hard work, I had to learn skills whilst doing a job and I struggled to find clients. When I was invited to quote, potential clients would choose people with more experience over me as I had no portfolio, so I reduced my prices – but this only made things worse. With reduced prices I was picking up pieces of work from clients who wanted the world in return for a small fee! If I argued with them they refused to pay, it was a desperate situation…

I tried everything
> Registering with the freelancing directories like oDesk
> Attending those awful networking events
> Cold calling companies in my area
> Speaking to web design agencies to see if they could sub contract any work to me
> Sending leaflets to local businesses
> Asking friends for referral’s

But nothing much came of it… after months of struggling; I was almost ready to give up.

But as luck would have it, I happened to have a meeting with a friend who was a very successful business owner. He wasn’t in the web design business but he was a very good marketer. He explained to me that his strategy was to get clients to come to him rather than him going out and chasing clients. I liked his style and whilst I didn’t think it would work for my business, I felt it would be worth a try, after all I had nothing to lose…

So the next day I put it to the test, and to my delight and utter amazement, I got a lead! Now I knew I was onto something, and after several attempts at refining the process I have been able to create a simple process that gets clients coming to me on a regular basis.

So now I want to share this with you. I want to share how I can help you do the following:
> Raise your prices
> Choose who you want to work with
> Find reliable clients
> Get clients to pay up front
> Create ongoing maintenance agreements to produce security in your business
> Beat competitors in pitches by knowing key triggers that potential clients can’t say no to
> Create outsourcing strategies that will allowed you to reduce your workload and the hours you work
