These are just few points,. Actually the fear of failure is most common roadblock keeping freelance from living a Rich Life — preventing them from being able to enjoy themselves and the money they have or they can earn.

“Hey,. Honestly I tell you there’s no limit to how much extra money you can earn –be your boss.”

Many people don’t visualize on big canvas neither understand this — how freelancing is the open windows in the room from air can come in, the earning potential is limitless, I am eye-witness of graphic designer who started as freelancer from Up, India, now he is running a small software-house in city with monthly earning is more than 1million dollars. Wow.

Listen his short story.

Perkash, When he was studding in some IT-university he started to develop Static pages for his friends, nearby shops, business owner, he charged nominal amount but- ask them to make a deal for at least 12 months. This is more appropriate for both parties, during this period he gains the trust of customer and asks them to make some changes in system/page. “Building Relation Ship”. When he was passing out from university he had only few clients in city or two of them belong to other city.

It was very difficult to hook new clients and get new projects, life is getting difficult for him, No new projects no Extra income. He tried to promote his services, did marketing, bulk email, visit many offices unfortunately –results was not comes in his favor.

He was wanted to earn more money on the side, even if he had regular income, so he join Freelance plat forums start doing tiny jobs, 1, 3, or more at a time,.

A time has come that he had enough work to share within his circle friends, eventually he hired some developers / Graphic designers and deliver the projects. 1 , 2, 3 ..

How could he manage everything, find fish hole where he got business,. How did he portrait his skills.. How did he focus on the 20% work and gain the 80% results…

That why, it is important for you to learn how to get out of Fear of uncertainty as fast as possible so that you can focus your energy on earning and success. — Whatever is your trade/ profession or services you have the skill and ability to heal or fulfill the requirements of buyer. This is enough for me and buyer worrying about whether or not you can solve issues for business.

Like Perkash, there are groups of motivated hustlers who do actually earn more, you get the best peace of the meat, when you pick an area to excel where winners get disproportionate winnings.

Your Freelancing could be your fall back plan too, if you lost your job tomorrow, or you don’t belongs to Famous Gandhi family who have stronger “family support structure” money in bank account. This could be your Risk management technique, you are going to create your emergency fund,…

There are plenty of ways to make more money — but on of the easiest, most effective way to begin extra income is by STARTING A FREELANCING.

Simply arrange your expertise, energize it, showcase your skills in right manners — start getting extra money.

  • Whatever!!

Craigslist Penis Effect

“in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.” Stand out from crowd, in freelancing world everyone else is so horrible that, by being even half-decent, you can lead everyone else and win.

Ok; I give you example, everyone else is so terrible that you can dominate by your competent skills …

Do-….

  • Quality of works –always Quality, a Value added service.
  • Pep talk — Practice your negotiating pitch before accept offer.
  • Do only what you have agreed — No more or less

How Perkash did craft his profile?

In short or long — you can write better and perfect pitch paragraph –

The foot-in-the-door technique is when a small request is initially made in order to get a person to later agree to a bigger request. You need to enter a business or organization at a low level, but with a chance of being more successful in the future.

05 The call to action

A call to action (CTA) is YOUR statement designed to get an Immediate Response from the person reading it. Be clearly ask them, if they would like to proceed — in this technique normally user cannot resist most of the time.

In above example you have seen the combination of your introduction + Skills + Pricing, which trigger the buyer action into lead. Now we will look to PRICING what you are asking for …

Normally I use web sites for treasuring English words and sentence. As you can use to judge you heading effectiveness etc.

PRICING (Verticals)

People always avoid Heart-stopping, jolting and surprising vertical in pricing is not allowed for success, I often listen buzz like.

  • How much amount should I charge for that?
  • Is XXX amount is much for that job or too less for this job?
  • Should I charge Lump sum or per hour?

Its depend upon your selected Freelancing Platform, Some platforms offer per/hour basis service only whereas other platform support Lump sum or FIXED price concept. If you know the right formula then it should not be matter of thinking or stress — set rules for rates for your work.

For deciding your rates & prices you have to truly analyze & access your worth.

Where do you fall >> Beginner >> Intermediate User >> or Subject matter Expert.

Pricing Rule #1

There is nothing FREE of charge, whatever you do — You Add VALUE to customer product and they pay you for this… You must and always charge against your services…

Pricing Rule #2

Control your vertical Rates “Be realistic” you must know! Your relative domain Salary /wages

Ask yourself: what’s the lowest rate you will work — “I can work for 18$/ hour” this is my-least bearing point. Then just add some % percentage as Fixed Reward for you, this reward amount you can easily forget if some buyer wants more discount. So the formula is (least amount + “%”percentage)

So; you can convert your salary from Month to Week or Hours. No-science in it :0

Pricing Rule #3

The pain full but effective practice is You can start charging your client lower, after a while you can start to take on more or less work until you earn the amount you want. It is very lengthy and slow cycle but it works many times,.

Try to make a deal to charge them for every month, in this way client didn’t bother to pay you less amount for long term. And you will get regular amount in your account.

There is no hard and solid rule or 2+2 formula HOW SOULD YOU CHARGE? You have to just start and start start.

Listen my experience, I am bad, bad at negotiations pricing. Rather I accept the issue, I done research on how to negotiate, comparable salaries in my area, etc., and practiced presenting my case, and it was basically met with “this is what we’re offering, take it or leave it.” Maybe I could have done something differently, but then, my clients realize this is my bearing point, so they start paying me at as I demand.

Re invest what you earned

I have to tell you a story, “hidden empire” the king of stores AMAZON.

Amazon reinvested what they earned in their business — they developed targeted marketing with technology and spin a wheel of fortune. Similarly YOU can take initiative…

Find the fish-holes where buyer visits, sit on street where buyer comes for entertainment, visit blogs, twitter and every social media source where your targeted buyer could be exist.

Hey totally wrong concept…

This is the most easy way to burn out your freelancing energy,. Mind you,. You goal in not to write a Blog or Facebook post, you have to find the buyer who pay you.

Begin reinvestment on yourself! — This is the best way to index your self be in good ranking freelancer. Rather than to create or visit blogs or Facebook likes. Your freelancing is your business — your bread and butter, you should have to treat is like your full time business instead of part time work.

Re-invest Rule # 1

Avoid social media for publicity- “As new bee to many from us will get overwhelmed thinkg that we need to do everything “perfectly” In fact, many people try to focus many thing and lost their FOCUD from CORE-element.”

get more skill sets in your field. I was leak to Negotiate the things, So I took a online sessions and improved my Negotiation skill which give me help to negotiate initial talk with baby buyer and if incase dispute arise –help me a lot.

Let’s move ahead towards why would anyone listen to YOU?

“Your showcase is beautiful, it has talent, skill select, timeline, and fair-price”

Fear of failure!, NO , No no

Listen. When you paint your vivid picture, use clear skill sets, compelling words and offer them your undivided focus, demonstrate professionally to fix their issues.

Uhh,

“You deserve to be heard” Even if you have created nice profile but don’t always mean you will he heard.” If it happened recheck or change the strategy, PDCA (plan, do, check act)

Now it is time to think what you have learned here,.! Tell me 2 points from above,….

Good,,. Still you are not ready to make extra money and launch your freelance business [Issue]

Ummmm,. I don’t think that I can make it or work as freelancer,. I don’t have enough skill to catch 1st customer,.

You must stop your Negative thinking,. It is just your mental barrier… nothing eles.. useless blood boiling statements,.

Now you have materialized the stuff, it’s a time to choose your platform for cook your first project. Well there are 100 of comparison b/w freelancing site available on internet,.

I cannot discuss Pros & Cons for each remote-job site,. but I have my own preference like worksiddah.com, because it has lowest charges rate with quickest and easiest payment mechanism. They don’t hold my money for 14 days. The other site which I like to works its fiverr.com — I believe it is full of resource that can work for you.

You can ask question on Quera.com like “How to start working as freelancer?”

Honestly, I can write thousands of words, — don’t ready lengthy articles — you have to focus on real things that actually works. I suggest you to make your profile on available platforms. It should not COST you, but give you chance to get project.

Try to avail services which offer.

  • Quick fund transfer
  • Lowest service charges
  • Strong Dispute management system
  • Secure payment method
  • Choose a platform -Where do Freelancers will Find Work …

My top 3 list

  • com
  • com
