At the start of my freelance career, I harmed my business by overpromising to win clients, offering the fastest, cheapest, and best-quality work. This approach led to unrealistic expectations and a lack of repeat business since I was seen as the "cheap and fast" option. I've learned to guarantee repeat business by setting realistic expectations and then exceeding them, educating clients on what's needed for project success. #Freelance #Freelancing #SelfEmployed #TalkToClients #Business

Struggling to stand out among other freelancers? How about trying this bold strategy - be the most expensive option! I know, sounds crazy, right? But hear me out! When you price yourself considerably higher, clients start wondering why. This curiosity sparks a conversation, giving you a chance to showcase your skills and explain your worth. Just make sure your services match the high price tag! Remember, every client is different and values different things, so tweak your pitch to fit their specific needs. #FreelancingTips #MarketingStrategy #Freelancing #SelfEmployed #PricingStrategy

Yesterday I shared a question from The Freelancing Program's community about budget. Building on that theme, I'd like share an important tip about pricing. Remember, your rate is your floor, not your ceiling. Discuss value & scope before talking money. The same task can vary in price depending on the client. #Freelance #Freelancing #SelfEmployed #Business #Pricing #FreelancingProgram #Community
