Landing Clients From Start To Finish - Part Two

Image
I'd go so far as to say that applying to jobs and landing new clients is part of freelancing which I get a kick out of the most. However I think it's interesting that there are so many blogs on writing a great proposal, deciding how much you should charge and finding suitable jobs to apply for - but not many on what comes next. Winning a job is a great start - but turning that job into a productive, long-term relationship with a client is the next step. Let's talk about what happens next! If you've just arrived be sure to check out Part One of this blog here , which focuses on finding suitable jobs and writing a great proposal! Time for the highly anticipated Part Two!! Asking the Right Questions Even if the job description for your clients project was incredibly detailed, chances are you still have questions about how to make the project a success.

Funding your Travels by Freelancing Abroad - My Experience

There are loads of blogs out there about working as a freelancer whilst you travel the world, but I haven't seen one yet which goes too deeply into the actual logistics of it - how much you need to earn, how many hours you need to work, etc. So I'm writing my own! Whilst I know this blog is focused on UpWork, I still think this will be useful - and as basically all of my income at the moment is from UpWork hopefully it is still relevant as well! Freelancing is an up-and-down way to make money. Some weeks are more lucrative than others - at the moment my schedule is packed for the next week, but it'll fund my travels, probably for the next month or so. It's not all glamorous - I'll be eating cheaply and working a lot. I dipped into freelance for a while about a year before I set off, so I had a decent portfolio of blogs which I could use as an example of my writing style. I'd recommend that anyone who wants to freelance from abroad do the same. ...
