How To Give Yourself A Promotion As A Freelancers?

Do you deserve a promotion in your freelance design business? If so, how are you doing it? This week I was approached by a client to build a them a Wordpress website and redesigning of the logo. After, meeting with them and talking about deadlines and prices. I thought to myself am I charging to them too much then I thought about all the hard, sweat, and tears that I will be putting into the project. Also, remember reading an article saying how to give yourself a promotion as a freelance designer. This article gives you three tips on how to give yourself a promotion as a freelancer.

1. Promote yourself to a management position

Bring on more clients and increase your income while still remaining small. Promote yourself from "freelance designer" to "freelance creative director". Hiring other freelancers to do some of the work that beings drudgery to your freelance lifestyle can breathe new life into your work, your attitude, and your outlook on your business.

2. Promote yourself to work on your "top accounts"

Typically in an design agency the most talented person works with the best client. As a freelancer you should do the same. In order to that you will need to outsource your difficult clients.

3. Increase your paycheck and reduce your weekly work hours

Find design jobs that allow to make money multiple times on the same project. Whether your designing Wordpress themes and sell them over and over again on sites like MojoThemes, sell stock design, desing and sell products like apparel, or any other of the thousands of options, passive income can be one of the most gratifying parts of running a business.
