Hello Freelancers! Here's Something for You
If you think freelancing is being jobless or ill-paid, you might not be entirely wrong, taking into account many amateur freelancers who fail to sustain a long-lasting well-paying project. However, once a person gets a knack of the market, freelancing could pay you much more than a regular 9 to 5 job. On the plus side, it also gives you a lot of flexibility. It is the main reason why many people resort to freelancing.
However,
that flexibility to work at your own time and the ability to chose which
projects you are willing to work on comes at a price. And here are many woes of
every freelancer face from time to time. But worry not, we have a perfect
solution to make all your problems disappear too.
Scoring a Client
How
do freelancers get clients? That's a question even freelancers struggle with
from time to time. Usually, a freelancer gets a client through a family or a
friend. Sometimes it's someone who the freelancers know that needs some work
done. Many times, it's because someone
you know referred you to some other person who needs your service. While many
make accounts on freelancing websites, not everyone gets their project on those
sites. It is a constant hunt until you have built your reputation in the market
and have a steady flow of clients.
Low Pay
With
so much struggle that goes into score a client, many amateur freelancers make a
grave mistake of accepting work at minimal rates. It not only makes you
underpaid but also decreases the average market rate for the work that you do.
Taking such projects will not only disadvantage you but other freelancers too.
It is always advisable to up your skills than lower your rates.
Ghosting Clients
Ghosting
clients are the worst. They are the horrors of every freelancer. If you don't
know what they are, they are clients who get the work done but disappears at
the time of payment. These sorts of clients only want their project completed,
but don't want to pay. While you can do a background check and draw up a contract,
it is always very possible for clients to disappear.
Getting
the payment in advance may help, but it might not always work, because more and
more scam artists are posing as freelancers. These scam artists and ghosting
clients who are no less than a scam artist have created a grave problem in the
freelance industry.
Undisclosed works and
repeated edits
It
is always wise to discuss all the work and number of times you are willing to
rework on a project. Sometimes clients describe a project in a very generic way
that may seem reasonable and later pile up more work as an extension of the
same project. You may also meet clients who keep asking you to make changes for
ages only to revert to the first option.
To
avoid such unexpected and tiring work, it is essential to go through all the
details before accepting the project. However, it is always possible for minor
things to slip that could later be huge.
