Analyze Your Competitors
To determine your position in the freelance market, research
your competitors. You can start with a few small steps; Create a spreadsheet
with information about your service, competitors, and other aspects you'd like
to compare, then add the overall capabilities, target market, marketing and
selling avenues, and strengths and weaknesses of all parties.
Join industry-related groups, attend events, and find ways
to socialize. You can also collect information about your competitors by
contacting them. You will learn a lot from them and develop valuable
professional relationships in your field, which may also open doors for
fruitful collaborations in the future.
Finally, access your competitors' reviews on the freelance
platforms to determine how you can outperform them all most easily.
Get to Know Your Client
Buyer personality is significant in selling services because
it provides insights into your potential clients' needs, priorities, concerns,
and common buying decision factors.
Understanding the client helps you understand the keys to
his personality to reach him most shortly and convince him with your services
to deal with you immediately.
If you are a content writer, for example, understanding the
personality of your target audience will help you determine the reasons why
they read your content? What are their favorite forms of content? And how can
you add value to them when reading your text? And other points that help you
sell your content "your service" to as many clients as possible.
Write A Clear Job Title That Shows Your Experience
Imagine if a freelancer wrote his job title "writer,"
and another wrote it "content writer for websites and blogs" with
whom would you prefer to start work if you were a website owner and needed
someone to create its content?
Of course, the one who you understood from his job title
that he knows how to get your tasks done. Although the first freelancer may
have had higher skills and experience, he lost the client because he failed to
explain his services comprehensively in some words.
To write the best job title, you can do the following:
- Browse freelance websites,
search for freelancers with the highest ratings, read their job titles, and
copy them!
- Search for keywords in your
field and put them in your job title!
- Avoid unprofessional
exaggerated words such as "marketing ninja!"
Write A Clear Summary of Your Services
After writing a professional job title that attracts employers
to browse your account, you should explain your services in short, direct
terms. Here it is necessary to mention the services you provide and the
achievements you have made in your field, and some numbers to confirm those
achievements.
For example, you could write: "achieved through an
article on the site "X" the highest number of visits with a rate of
"Y. "
Use High-quality Relevant Images with Your Service
The third side of the success triangle is using high-quality
photos with the previous two points. You should choose relevant, high-quality, precise,
and royalty-free images.
The images in your account play an essential role as your
image comes to attract the client's attention to browse your account. The
clearer and more professional it is, the more you show professionalism.
In addition, your portfolio photos demonstrate your
attention to detail as you make sure you look your best.
You can rely on sites such as Pexels, Flickr, Pixabay, and
Unsplash to get high-quality royalty-free photos and add them to your Dr. Job
account.
Stick to The Correct (Arabic-English) Language
We all write, but not all write a sound language with proper
grammar. So, you need to know how to stand out with the correct account
content.
Write in a formal language (Arabic or English). To be sure
what you write is correct, you can consult a proofreader, search online, or use
automated proofreading tools such as The Language Tool for Arabic and Grammarly
for English.
These tools will also help you review your work to ensure it
is delivered without grammatical or spelling errors.
Add Your Portfolio
A portfolio is the freelancer's CV. So, ignoring is like
applying for a job without a resume.. is it reasonable?
Add your portfolio in PDF format, or add a link to your portfolio
on Dr. Job to increase your chances of getting projects and increase your
income.
Spread The Word On All Your Social Media Accounts
Imagine that someone decided to sell clothes and tell those
around them without putting in more effort for marketing and spreading the news
through Facebook groups, among co-workers and others. Will it work?
This is the case with the freelancer when he is satisfied
with working on one platform only. Write a post on "LinkedIn," for
example, telling your story with the freelance work to encourage people to deal
with you, and mention at the end that you are now providing your services on
the Dr. Job platform so that the more people know about your services, the more
news spreads and more projects awarded to you.
Take Advantage of Platforms like Quora and Reddit
These platforms have millions of people who ask and answer specific
topics. You can search in groups related to your field of those who need your
services and put the link to your account on Dr. Job under their questions,
adding a brief explanation in two or three lines explaining how your services
can solve their problems.
And don't forget to add value by sharing your own
experiences on specific issues and answering questions in which you can offer
your expertise.
Always Be Helpful
To gain the trust of your clients when you first sell your
service, you need to show that your goal is to help the client first. You can
achieve this by:
- Determine how your services
can help the client
- Discover problems, pain
points, or challenges that you can solve with your services
- Set clear expectations
- Provide value in all your
emails and calls
- Stick to what you say
- Be transparent in every
communication
- Share your experience
Connect With Current Clients for Referrals
Most freelancers neglect to ask for referrals, and some may
think that they won't work. But referrals are an effective way to find new
clients, especially freelancing platforms.
Ask your former clients to recommend your services to others
interested or who need your services. You can submit your request via email or
when a client leaves a good review about your services.
You can encourage clients to refer you to others by offering
a financial reward for each new client that comes from their side or offering a
discount on your rates for their next project.
Don't Stop at Selling Services
Sure, selling the service pays off both professionally and
financially, but you'll only be doing it for a few hours a day.
So, try to invest all your daily achievements to earn
through it; If you are creating presentations for your client to explain an
idea, you can make some of these presentations for those who need to use them
for research purposes, for example.
This is what you should always do if freelancing is your
full-time job. Always take proactive steps and look for ways to grow your
business with and without clients.
