Freelancer Guide Part 2

Good Morning Designers!

I am back again to give you a couple of more steps on how to become a successful Freelance Designer and how to be great at it.

4. Networking is the key

 Networking is key on how to build your clientele. As a freelancer you should attend as many design conferences as possible. Secondly, you go to conferences that your client are attending, maybe they can introduce you to people who can use your services. Also, do some pro-bono work for charities and non-profits because that can lead to people who need your services.

5. Don't Ignore the Little Things

Do you have an signature in your email? You should have a signature in your email linking to your portfolio. I know it may sounds crazy but that is free marketing. Every time you are sending out or responding to emails they will see the link to your portfolio. Also, ask your friends and family can they spread the word to anybody that could use your services.

6.  Treat Your Clients Like Kings and Queens

You should treat your clients with the most respect and care when designing work for them. You never know who they are going to refer you, so go the extra mile to take care of them. Also, be mindful that because you are taking care of them doesn't mean they can take advantage of you.
