Tips to be a high-selling freelancer

Good day everyone. Its yet another day of survival, we the survivor of this pandemic should continue to thank our God.

Today am going to br giving a little tips on how to move your business successfully as a freelancer. First of all,

Who is a freelancer;

A freelancer is someone who manages and runs his business on his or her own. Not working for someone but working for yourself. You make the decisions, you take the risks and you own the business and everything in it. That is a freelancer.

Most of you are very good book writers, content writers, graphic designers, fashion designers, web developers, UI/UX designers etc but you don't know how to draw the attention of your customers or how to even reach out to customers round the world. Here are some little tips on how to go about it.

1. Social media:

Most of you use social media like Facebook, Instagram, twitter, Whatsapp, etc to chat with friends and family everyday without knowing that you can earn millions with these social media platforms. Facebook most especially has given us the opportunity to publish and create good advert contents right on it. You can create a Facebook group or page for your business, invite friends and ask them to invite and share your page to everyone they know on Facebook. You would be so surprised to see someone from even Asia in your page requesting for your service within a matter of days and thanks to platforms like email, gmail, and lots more, we can now offer online services meaning you don't need to even know or meet the person that is requesting for your service. You can just seat at home and send your work to anybody round the world. Even social platforms like Linkedin has also given us the opportunity to get good business connections round the world.

1. Freelance platforms like Fiverr, Freelancer, 99designs and lots more:

Apart from social media platforms, we can also create and sell our works on freelance platforms like fiverr and the rest. I am currently selling on fiverr for my works and to be honest I am making good cash from that site. You can create a seller account on Fiverr, post your great eye-catching works and when customers come onto the site, they can view your work and request for your service instantly and the best thing about it is that it is online, you don't need to meet or know any customer. I bet if you make good use of a platform like Fiverr, you would be making nothing less than $100 in a week. You could even get contracts worth up to $500 from companies round the world in this platform. Give it a try and I bet you would be a high class earner within few months.

1. Youtube:

Most of you here might already have a You tube channel but you aren't making even a dollar from it which is very bad. Have you thought of using that channel to your own advantage? Using it to publicize your work? YouTube doesn't even charge you for posting anything on it, you can make a billion dollar advert on YouTube and you won't even be charged 1cent. Isn't that great!. Now all you need to do is open a YouTube channel for your business, put up a good eye-catching logo on it and make very good advert videos and post it up. You could even make a tutorial video of how you make most of your works or designs and people view it and learn alot from it. One advantage of YouTube is that your video is being watched round the world and now that there is lockdown, people spend most of their time watching YouTube videos which is a very great advantage to you. Take this up and start making this videos while you have the chance. You mustn't even create a video, you can also sponsor some high viewing channels on YouTube and in exchange they advertise your products on their videos, this could increase your chances of gaining much recognition on YouTube within few days.

1. Friends:

Till now most of you don't know the great advantage of close friends to you. Friends can actually make you become the billionaire of tomorrow. You might be shocked to know that your friends might have that great connections of business that you have been searching for all year. I am a fashion designer and my friend's mother is a high class cloth selling. I took that advantage and asked her for support and partnership. I make beautiful cloths, she sells it and we share the profit 70/30 percent. This has made my business move from grass to grace. I sometimes see people in another country wearing my cloth design and i am soo proud of myself. Now, that my friend is the bridge to this success. She helped me to talk her mother into helping me sell my products on her shops and platforms for free and we share the profit at the end of the day. Thats a great start as a freelancer. Ask your friends for support, they could help you advertise and share your business adverts on their own social media platforms. That is what friends are for. Make good use of your friends and you both would smile a great smile at the end of the day.
