HOW TO BUILD YOUR MOST AMAZING FREELANCING CAREER AND STARTS YOUR LUXURIOUS LIFE
Freelancing career is a liberating and exciting task as well as a very difficult and daunting one.
You might be reluctant due to the fear of making such a huge jump with your career or you’ve already made that jump and thing isn’t going the way you expected them to.
It’s frustrating, right? You had known being successful as a freelancer can be made possible but the problem remains– HOW?
Who won’t like to decide his or her own hours, determine his or her own pay or even what work he or she would like to take on?
The thought of being a boss of your own is really attractive, but most people don’t make this jump because of it really scary. As a freelancer, you’re basically responsible for everything: finding clients, convincing the clients to hire you, as well as delivering quality work.
To some people, it takes them years to figure out what exactly they were doing but your case doesn’t have to be the same as theirs. You don’t really need to spend such an amount of years.
Without any delay, below is a well listed out step on how to build that dream freelancing career and live a luxurious life after.
WHY ARE YOU GOING INTO FREELANCING?
This is the number one question to ask you and provide an answer to. Mind you, you shouldn’t underestimate this question!
If you’re looking to go through the path of freelancing and become successful in it, you should be sure that you’re not going into it for the wrong reasons. You don’t become a freelancer because you see other people doing it or because you feel it is the easiest way to make money. You shouldn’t also do freelancing because of the wish to live a glamorous nomadic lifestyle nor because you wish to turn your passion into a business that yields profits.
You don’t have to jump into freelancing blindly. You should have at least 5 reasons why you want to go freelancing and understand what it will actually take to achieve those goals.
GET YOURSELF A DEDICATED HOME OFFICE
Being a freelancer means you’ll have to work from your home. It is then without a doubt that your home will be a place where it is really easy to get distracted…you might want to check that social media account, or answer the ringing phone, or thinking about that pop tart in the toaster. If you keep working in a place as distracting as your home, then becoming a successful freelancer will be a very tough one. You should look into setting up a home office that you’ll be dedicated to. Mind you, the fact that you’re at home doesn’t call for less efficiency or professionalism then you’d be in a “real” office.
CREATE YOUR FREELANCING PLANS AND REMAIN COMMITTED TO IT.
If you’re looking to be successful as a freelancer, then you need to have a 100% commitment.
No time is perfect! It’s going to take time so the sooner you start, the earlier you get established and jump on your road to success.
Mind you, it’s going to be a struggle at first and that is inevitable but then; you have to start somewhere.
Before you kick into it, here are the plans you need to take care of and remain committed to:
• My freelancing business plan
• My marketing plan
• My financial plan
• What is my freelance hourly rate?
WHERE DO I GET MY FIRST CLIENT
This question pops up most of the time and most people usually answer it wrongly in their first start.
To beginning a freelancing career, you need to know who your ideal clients are. At first, it will be difficult to get to them, but having an idea of your target is number one (1). This is so the decision you make on the particular type of clients and people you work for will help you gain momentum as you go down the path.
GROW
At this point, the foundation of your freelancing business should already be in place:
- You should understand the whole details of your freelancing business
- You should set achievable goals and work towards them
- You should get yourself an online presence where you can display your best works
- Be prepared to go out there and accept work from clients
- And lastly, you should be ready to tell people about your freelancing business
From this point, growing is up to you-you should decide how much time, patience and then the amount of dedication you’re ready to put in.
