Create More Intense Freelance Relationships, So You Are Harder To Fire

It’s essential to create a stronger relationship with your clients. The more work you do with a single client, the more money you can make with them.

Make Sure Your Clients Know All The Things You Can Do For Them

If you are multi-talented, your freelance clients need to know everything you can do for them. Be sure to let your clients know about your full service plan so they can work with you more this year.

Don’t Lie To Your Clients

Trust is essential. You don’t want to lie to your clients to get a potential job. Don’t lie, but if you know you can learn how to do something, do that.

Figure Out How To Do It

The internet is a powerful place. If you want to learn how to do something, there is a class for it.

  • Do your research.

  • Learn from the client.

  • Take courses.

  • Listen to podcasts.

Connect Your Clients With Other Freelancers

If you don’t feel comfortable taking on a job, consider connecting your clients with someone you know who can do that job.

Don’t Let Fear Win

Ask yourself why you are saying no. Are you saying no because you are scared or because you genuinely can’t do the job? We have to rise above fear and do more things than we ever thought possible.
