Here are some strategic Google searches to find better freelance clients.

When you need more great freelance clients, you don’t have to just sit around and wait for them to ping you.

One of the easiest—yet most effective—methods is a simple Google search.

You can try things like this:

  • “freelance [your skill/specialization] jobs”
  • “[your skill] for us.”

(Remember: don’t forget the quote marks for precise results.)

Granted, a lot of freelancers may be typing in the same searches, but you may as well work every angle while you’re trying to drum up new work.

You can use a prospecting template to reach out to people who have legitimate opportunities. By “legitimate” I mean they don’t ask for “spec” work — that is, free work — and they offer to pay a set rate or project fee, instead of a percentage of advertising revenues.

So here’s what you do:

Are you ready? It’s a tough challenge!

…Head to Google and start searching.

Okay, so maybe it’s not that hard. But it does work.

Best of luck! Go get ’em, tiger.

Don’t miss this, either…

If you’re highly motivated right now to grow your freelance business, then you should get 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.
