I have written as a freelancer for over seven months now, and within this period I made more than $20,000 only by writing for others. I continue to get new customer requests each month and because of an agreement with my customers and key customers, I rejected almost ten customers in the last six months.
I also noticed in the blogosphere and in the world of freelancing, less than 20% people get 99% of the results, so I decided to write an article on the use of blogs to get more customers to your business.
Before continuing I want you to know that the tips in this article help "cheap clients" who really care about the quality of your work. I'll be you tips that can help you get the high paying, recurring that you can choose among customers.
I would also like you to know that all aspects of this article are essential. Do not think that you can ignore my first point go to the next and then to expect future results. It is certainly not the ultimate guide on getting customers - I am not someone to write an ultimate guide on the subject. The advice in this article can also be modified to give you better results than I get, but some like to ignore the main parts and trying to rush towards it for the money, and then to expect future results. It just won't happen!
Okay, let's get to the end.
Try to get into the skin of your client first. Let's say that you are a small business with a tight budget and want to get out the word about your business. You think that the best thing to do is to hire a consultant in marketing for you advice based on your business model and you decide to go looking for a.
You came across two people - the first is someone who is really ready to make money and advertising therefore the title of "marketing consultant", because it means that others with this name are great. The other, however, is a dedicated consultant who lives, eats and breathes marketing and marketing that has helped many people with their marketing activities. Which of the two will go you with?
You can try to play smart and think that customers can see through you, but as someone who hardly Announces my service but keeps on getting client requests regularly, I will tell you that the best thing to do is to focus on what you are better. Doing so increases not only your chances of getting a large number of clients, it will ensure that you are paid double what you are and it will also ensure that your customers keep you for a very long time.
After all, the only thing your customers want is results, and once you can give a lot of people, they will happily stay with you forever.
I'm not trying to tell you to start writing blog displays each day inviting clients, or to be written aggressive blog posts for the sole purpose to get clients. I take to be specific to the topic of what you speak and let potential customers you see as an expert on your topic.
Watch Darren Rowse, for example. If a large customer is looking for someone to give the best advice on the successful creation of blogs, you can be sure that they will hire Darren. Not only Darren has three very popular blogs in different niches, there also the blog more success in the niche of blogging (which was the most successful for several years). Only who speaks much to show that this guy knows what he is talking about.
If you want clients to hire you to their Web site for design work, you must be a blog about the design of web sites and case studies that help to analyze patterns of blog of others for best results. You can show someone that you know your stuff, you will be more chances of employment.
I'm trying to find out how my clients found me, and I noticed that each of them I discovered through my blog on guest blogging, providing that I know my stuff that regards writing.
If you are a web designer who wants tributary after you, having a Web design very poor clients help to go far. The best way to get customers is to let them know that you know your stuff - and what better way to do this than to use your services yourself?
Why people never will hire to write for them when you do not even have a blog? Why people hire you help design their Web sites when you've never designed for someone else and that the Web site template that you use is one of the worst that they have never seen? Why are people hire you for SEO when you get almost any visit to your blogs by search engines? Why people will hire to write their copy when you can not convince them to use your service?
Since I am human, like you, I would like to say that my number one concern is not my mother, it is not my brothers and sisters, it you. It's me, and since each humans think, I would like to believe that it is the same for everyone. Our main concerns are ourselves, and we believe in ourselves before others. Anyone do hire you if you cannot prove that you are an example of what you have to offer and who hires you will be the wisest decision.
Here, you'll notice that I do not really say that you need to market your services.
I am not against quite your marketing department, but my point is that being a living example of what you have to provide enough marketing your service itself. To spread the good news you will leave many people see you and will result in asking them to buy your services.
Locate the best tactics that use those who obtain the results in your industry and start to make use of their yourself. Does point just after guest blogging because people in the niche of IM, said he works for them. Facebook is perhaps what works in your niche. Search engines could be the best friend for most of the results in your niche.
Then instead of following the general approach to marketing, try to look at how some people for most of the results in your domain are marketing themselves. Then, start your own by using the same approach to marketing.
How customers flock after you is not as difficult that most people think. It is not joining a freelancing site or the other. Blogging is the most powerful tool available to everyone, and you can easily make the best use of it to your own advantage. Use the tips above to obtain tributary clients after you - and tell us how you are going in the comments.
