Hello everyone, Great to see that you guys are interested. I am really sorry that updates didn't drop yesterday, as promised. I figured it would be better to condense the info into a PDF file so I took the time out y'day to compile that report. You can download it here I'll still share some more points that aren't in the PDF here, so you should also check everyday for updates. So... The ONLY thing that you need to become in 2018 as a freelancer is a PREMIUM FREELANCER. Now, there's nothing really special about that. It's just a coined term and I'll explain in a bit. But before then, I discovered earlier this year that clients do not really care about your "expertise," your experience or your educational background... What clients really care about is: "Can you help me get results?" It's all left for you to DEMONSTRATE and SHOW that you are capable of doing just that. When they go through your profile, your gig description, your profile info, your profile overview (on upwork), your proposals/customized offers etc... They pick everything with a fine tooth comb to spot hints that show this is the guy for the job. Now, not every client does this. ONLY high-quality clients do this (and for most of them, it's a sub-conscious thing). These are the kind of clients you really want to attract. Because they are the ones that pay more, pay on time, leave you with glowing reviews (as long as you have done a good job), easy to communicate with etc. So the aim is to become a premium freelancer that ATTRACTS these kind of clients. How to become a premium freelancer? I'll get to this in a bit. But I want you to know that a premium freelancer is the freelancer who: [+] Sees and treats his freelancing biz as a real business... [+] Strategically position himself to attract high quality clients... [+] Has plans and specific goals... and goes all out to meet them. Now, TONS of freelancers on Fiverr, Upwork and co just jump in there just "to see if I can make a few bucks here and there like others are doing." They don't treat freelancing like a business. And that's why many of them are struggling to get their breakthrough. They have no plan in place. Whatever comes, they take it. If you are like that, you ought to change this in 2018, because you will definitely get swallowed up by the competition. Again, I shared the main tips on how to become a premium freelancer in the free report I earlier talked about. And I'll also be sharing a few here. But before then, here's another thing -- really important -- that has to change for you in 2018: ++ Focus more on high paying jobs than quantity of jobs. Here's what I mean in practical sense: Focus more on jobs that pay you higher fees than pursuing a set number of say, monthly jobs. For example, if you get 5 jobs that pay $200 in a month. That's equivalent to $1k. Compared to the guy who gets 30 jobs of $20, you will be more refreshed, earn more, less stressed, have the time to further improve your skills (which is very important) etc. And that's where the becoming a premium freelancer thing I am hammering on becomes key. Because no client will pay you BIG money if they find self-sabotaging mistakes in your vital freelancing pieces. For example, most freelancers will write stuffs like: "I am a xxxxx. I have Bleep experience in xxxxx. I can help you zzzzzz and I have done...." That is wrong, my friend. I used to do this too, until I discovered that it's not about you (the Freelancer), it is about THE CLIENT. The above freelancer didn't say anything about what the client is looking to achieve. Instead, he's focusing more on himself. Do yet get this? So there are a lot of things you need to change in your vital freelancing pieces that will immediately position you as someone that is worth a premium fee... and that's when you become a premium freelancer. Later tonight, I'm going to do a practical example of "what clients want" Until then, read this again. Get the core message and get prepared. If you have question, please do fire away. Cheers. 2 Likes |

remiproxy:You can certainly offer this on fiver and make tons of dollars. The competition is low and demand is fairly high. Check out "illustration" services. Book authors and blog content providers are always in demand for your work. 2 Likes |
