Work from home and get profit

STAY ACTIVE ONLINE

During the early stages of becoming a freelance writer, you have to be online frequently (say every two hours) although because a good number of clients give jobs to only available ones, in as much as the person meets the criteria.

Do not be surprised if your client invites you to negotiation or a quick update. Try and find out when bidders are few online as this increases your odds, some beginners who got jobs in the first week after registering had it that way.

CUSTOMER SERVICE RELATIONSHIP

Always appreciate each one of your clients with a thank you whenever you are given a job and never get angry whenever a client hits you hard with specific questions. Keep calm and give convincing answers so you can get the job since that brought you his way.

ALWAYS ASK FOR A REVIEW

Most clients will willingly give you a review if you did a nice job for them but if he or she doesn’t you can ask for it. A faster way to get reviews is to reduce the price quote for an excellent review especially for 5-star ratings.

However, if you did a bad job, avoid getting a bad review which can negatively affect your ability to get more jobs. Beg the client not to give a negative review and don’t receive any payments for that particular job as well. See it as compensation for time waste.

For every successfully completed project, you receive a +1 feedback from clients and freelancer rewards you with a star. Popular employers will check the number of projects you have completed before giving you jobs. Now you understand that having a lot of reviews will put you in a better position to be hired.

BE ON POINT WITH YOUR BIDDING

Keep your bids, simple and short; no long stories! You are not the only one bidding, for your proposal to be read and treated differently you have to make it short and straight to the point because the client may or may not have the patience to read a long letter. Why take the risk of getting disapproved at first glance?

After you are done with this, you can then follow-up with a PM (private message) by using the private message board to provide more information to the client. You can also add relevant information which you couldn’t provide in your bid letter. Sometimes it helps in getting you the job.

BE COMPETITIVE WITH YOUR PRICING

Before you bid for a gig, you must first find out how much other bidders are putting as price and put your own within that range either a little higher or lower. If you decide to make it higher, make sure you provide a top quality service that is worth the client every penny
