If you have a skill that you can o er, the freelance business model may just be for you!
Let's take a look at how the freelancer business model works and if it could be the next
business you start.
First of all, a freelancer is someone who works for themselves and makes money per job
they complete for another person/company. They o er one or more services like writing,
editing, graphic design, di erent technical skills, project management, and the list goes on
and on. This is great for people who are looking for personal freedom while earning a nice
income. You have a skill that you can sell to others and you're your own boss. So, let's take
a look at the steps you need to accomplish to become a freelancer for yourself.
Getting Started:
To get yourself started I recommend that you

portfolio. You can nd di erent freelance sites by going over to Google and searching for

When you're just starting it can be hard to get anyone to hire you because you don't have
any proof of what you can actually do. You might have to do a few jobs for very little pay
just to build your reputation. Starting this way though will also allow you to see what
other skills you could easily develop to provide even more services as a freelancer. You'll
learn what you actually do and don't like to do, and what you're best at.

After you've spent a few months on the freelancing sites, and you want to go bigger and
not be at the mercy of the freelancing sites you can start o ering your services from your
own website.
Here are the stepsyouneedtotake todothis:
Step1:De ne What You'llO er
De ne what skills or services you will o er, and your rates. You can do a little research and
see what other freelancers are doing to help you decide what you will o er and for how
much.
Step2:De ne WhoYouWant ToWork With
Generally, when you o er speci c services, you know who you want to work with, but if
not this is a great time to sit down and de ne who you will want to provide your services
for.

For example,
if you're a writer do you want to do writing for anyone or for speci c
niches? If you're a graphic designer what kind of graphics and for what kind of
businesses?
When you get speci c with what and who you will work for you can create very speci c
o ers for your services and always pull in the right people to work with.
Step3:Show YourselfO
The next thing you will want to do is build a website positioning yourself as the best
person to hire for the services you provide and clearly spell out your services, pricing, and
how to get started with you. If you have multiple services, I recommend having a page on
your website for each of your services.
Your website also needs to include your portfolio. If you took my advice and started with
the freelancing site, you could do a small case study write up for each person you worked
for and the results you accomplished for them. Reach out to people you've done work for
and ask if they will give you a testimonial or endorsement that you can use on your
website.
Your portfolio is one of the most important parts of your website because people want to
see that you're good at what you do and that you'll be reliable in getting it done. Make
sure you put some serious time and e ort into creating your portfolio and constantly
update it.
Step4:Know The Legalities

As a freelancer there are di erent legalities you need to know about, and di erent
contracts you will need depending on what services you o er. I highly recommend you
hire a lawyer who can help you know the legalities and the contracts you'll need. A
consult with a lawyer may run you a few hundred dollars but could give you and your
clients the protection that you need and save you a lot of money in the end.
Step5:DevelopYourMarketingStrategy
At this point you have a great looking website that you o er your services from and that
shows you're the person who people need to hire. However, if no one knows your
website exists you won't be able to sell those services, so you're going to need to create a
marketing strategy.
When it comes to marketing, you have a lot of options. You could use content marketing
along with social media marketing, paid advertising, an a liate program, or a compilation
of multiple strategies. At this point hiring a to come in and help
you develop your marketing strategy could be the quickest way to getting clients coming
in. It will cost you money, but in the end could save you a lot of time.
marketing consultant
Marketing consultants are usually in need of di erent services that freelancers
o er. You might be able to barter with them and exchange their services for your services.

The important thing here is you develop your marketing strategy that works and keep
using it to sell your services as a freelancer. When you stop marketing you'll stop getting
clients, so being persistent and consistent is the key to success here.
