Describe Yourself
Now that you’re on board, it’s important that others know how great you are. An important way to attract clients and make sure they trust you is by fully detailing your skills, background, experience, and services listed on your profile.
Whether you work in Graphic Design, Website Design, Writing, Programming, or something else – it’s important that the words used to outline your services do you justice. A lot of the time, this means checking for grammar and creating a readable layout with a clever use of spacing, emojis 🙌, bold text, italics, and – bullet points!
Make It Look Good
It’s often said that the first bite of a meal is taken with your eyes, well the same is often true for other things, and freelancer profiles are no exception! For those of you that work in the visual arts, this part will be nice and simple, but it’s important that all of us put some effort into getting it right.
The baseline requirements will be a high quality profile picture, a nicely scaled cover image, and portfolio images that do your work justice. Try not to use too much text in your images, as this won’t look too appealing when placed against the rest of the marketplace. For writers, or those whose services aren’t too visual, try to attach high quality accompanying images that encompass what you do.
Portfolios
Adding portfolio images is also an important aspect of building a fully furnished, high-level profile. Following the guidelines above, ensure any and all images you select are truly representative of your work. Particularly for those of you creating visual media.
Post Your Services
So, you’ve signed up and verified your account, your profile looks good, you’ve got detailed descriptions, strong portfolio images, and you’re well on your way to commission-free selling. Now it’s time to stand out to clients on the marketplace.
We recommend you post at least 5 service listings, but you may have as many as you like. This way, you can cater to a larger range of budgets, niches, and needs. Similarly to your personal profile, it’s important to use quality images and detailed descriptions in your service listings. Additionally, being transparent and fair in your pricing is a sure-fire way to gain the trust of clients.
Building a Reputation
If you’ve taken some care to get everything else right, this step is merely a matter of time. Once you’ve delivered enough great work for your clients (which we know you will), you’ll start to receive ratings, testimonials, and build a visual ranking on the site.
To boost your chances of receiving positive feedback, be sure to remain communicative with your clients, complete projects on time, and deliver against the standard of your previous work. A great way to gain active work is by bidding on live project requests. These are custom jobs delivered for clients that are actively seeking the right professional for their project.
