🔵 Top freelancing tips for beginners: Join an online freelancer community
#Freelancetips

One of the mistakes we see new freelancers make is not reaching out to fellow freelancers in their industry. While it can be easy to fall into the trap of seeing them as competition, or being hesitant to engage because it triggers your imposter syndrome, the fact is that these people are your people. No one else will be able to understand the highs and lows of freelancing like your fellow solos.

And while the community aspect is invaluable in itself, it's super common for freelancers to share jobs that they're either too busy to take on or not right for. And as a member of the community, you'll be in a great position to leap on these juicy opportunities!

🔵 Top freelancing tips for beginners: Never stop upskilling as a freelancer
#Freelancetips

No matter how confident you are in your skills, the reality is that way the world works is evolving at lightning speed —  with a 0% chance of slowing down anytime soon. What does it mean? It means that taking a single Hubspot course about Introduction to SEO back in the Spring of 2010 (or 2019, for that matter) isn't gonna cut it by today's standards. Especially if you're claiming to be an SEO expert.

By choosing to earn a living as a freelancer in today's competitive landscape, you're committing to life as a forever student of your chosen craft. And while courses can be a great way of staying up-to-date, it comes down to retaining your sense of curiosity.

Commit to reading just one article a day and watch how quickly you pick up the "industry lingo." Listen to podcasts. Watch tutorials on YouTube. Attend webinars. Follow other industry professionals on their chosen medium and keep an eye on what they're up to. Join a community, as suggested above. As long as you remain engaged in your craft, remaining on the cutting edge becomes a lot easier.

🔵 Top freelancing tips for beginners: Learn the subtle art of client pitching
#Freelancetips

New freelancers often make the mistake of setting up a website and creating expensive business cards, expecting clients to come to them. To maintain a steady flow of leads, it’s essential for freelancers to learn how to effectively pitch their services.

This might involve reaching out to local businesses that need help, such as improving their social media strategies, and sending proposals that highlight the benefits of their services. Initially, freelancers may face many rejections, but by refining their approach, they will start receiving more positive responses. Ultimately, with persistence, they can secure clients well in advance, reducing the need for constant pitching.

🔵 Top freelancing tips for beginners: Learn how to take feedback as a freelancer
#Freelancetips

When feedback burns your fragile freelancer ego, it can be easy to come up with excuses to help distance yourself from shouldering that shame. "They have no idea what they're talking about?" or, "They're just trying to devalue my work so they don't have to pay."

And yes, sometimes that is the case. But by choosing to shoulder the responsibility (even just momentarily to see if it truly belongs to you) — you put yourself in a place to actually do something about it. Just like any other relationship, honest, open communication is key when freelancers and clients work together. So take that negative feedback, hold it up to see if anything can be gained or learned from it — and then let it go. Once the lesson is learned, there's no need to continue carrying that shame along with you.

🔵 Top freelancing tips for beginners: Protect your health as a freelancer (physical and mental)
#Freelancetips

There’s a lot to like about being a freelancer. You set your own hours. You choose your own clients. You work independently, control your workload, and vacation whenever you like. Who wouldn’t want a job with all those perks?

But just like any other career, being a solopreneur — especially if you work remotely from home — has its downsides. There are occupational hazards just like with any other job. And if you're not aware of the dark side of freelancing, your physical and mental health will suffer the consequences

🔵 Top freelancing tips for beginners: Ask for that referral
#Freelancetips

We all know that having a client referred to you is the most cost-effective way to grow your business. But many new freelancers still struggle to ask for referrals, which can usually be traced back to every freelancer's frienemy, imposter syndrome. 

Did you know that 89% of freelancers name "referrals" as the best way to get new projects? For comparison, less than 25% rely on "cold pitching" or "job boards." Another study of independent workers found that 84% of solo business owners who earn more than $100,000 per year get most of their work through word-of-mouth recommendations. TL;DR: If you're going to thrive as a freelancer, you need to ask for that referral

🔵 Common mistakes beginner freelancers make: Working without a signed contract 
#Freelancetips

Never ever start delivering a service before you put things in writing. Period. A work contract is a mutual agreement on the scope of work, payment terms, and obligations of both parties. It should be ironed out in advance to avoid any unsavory questions like “What happens if the work gets delayed from your end or the client’s side?”, “How many revisions are allowed?”, “When will I get my money?”. 

If the engagement goes awry, you have a legal document, which protects your right to getting paid. Plus, it’s a document you can always point toward when the client makes unreasonable demands.

🔵 Common mistakes beginner freelancers make: Charging too low 
#Freelancetips

As a new freelancer, you may be tempted to lowball your offers. That’s a rookie mistake 60% of beginners make. But being new to freelancing doesn’t mean you’re new to the job market. Don’t undervalue your skillset and past work experiences. Likewise, don’t go with the recommended hourly rate for your profession, since such employee hourly rates don’t factor in self-employment taxes and business operating expenses. 

If you’re unsure what to charge for this or that, browse recommended rate guides or post a question in a freelancing community to get some peer feedback.

🔵 Common mistakes beginner freelancers make: Commingling personal and business finances 
#Freelancetips

Freelancers may want to avoid the hassle of opening a new bank account when they start out, and rather channel funds to a personal account. 

If you’re registered as self-employed, this is legally allowed. But commingling business and personal funds will likely make the end of a financial year a nightmare. You’ll have to sort through countless transactions to highlight client payments and business expenses, then do a painful tally of those.
