A Freelancer Pro Tip: Update Your Website Today

This is a big topic, but one that doesn’t need too much elaboration. So I’ll be brief.

The better your website, the better your chances at scoring high-paying clients.

Your website is how you introduce yourself to the world. A sloppy or out-of-date site is going to paint you as an amateurish contender in the freelancing world.

So take my advice:

  • Update the content on your website.
  • Add your expanded list of offerings.
  • Test your contact form to ensure that you’re receiving those submissions.
  • Add a high-res photo of yourself (or add a more recent photo of yourself).
  • If necessary, pay someone else to clean up all of the tiny design and technical details that turn your website from a “cobbler’s children have no shoes” excuse factory into a selling tool. You could even hire a freelancer like yourself and start a professional relationship.

And then there’s this…

If you’re ready start growing your freelance business right, then you should check out my guide, “Get Better Freelance Clients.”

It’s got a 29-day action plan that will tell you exactly what to do, step by step.

I gathered up all of the strategies and tactics that helped me ramp up my freelance business and consistently earn $100,000+.

→ Then, I organized them all in roughly chronological order.

→ Then, I added clear instructions for each step.

→ Then, I added templates and other resources so that there’s zero guesswork.

When life is crazy — my wife and I have three kids, so yeah — you may realistically only be able to work on your business, not in your business, about 15 minutes per day.

You must make the most of that business development and marketing time!

So the key is focusing on what you can do (not on what you can’t) and finishing one small, specific action each day.

Today, that one specific action is getting Get Better Freelance Clients — 29-Day Action Plan.
