As per usual - a tonne of incredible advice all wrapped up into a bite sized package sans padding! Well done Louise always giving the essence for people to learn from and being with them. Ps that lippy, shirt and natural eye colour combo is 🔥!
Dropping amazing tips as usual Louise! That is so true about saying yes sometimes you can learn on the job that happened to me. I think it's also good to have an online presence as a freelancer so that clients will want to come to you like having your own podcast or youtube channel.
Fantastic tips! I love your tip of saying "I AM a _____." It really does help with your mindset and motivation! I loved this video and saved it for future reference. I'm in the process of fine tuning my video editing skills to start a freelance video editing business so this video is exactly what I need! 💕
Wow thanks so much!! Sure you'll be a massive success. Yeah mindset is such a big factor - and just putting your name out there as much as possible! Having a youtube channel should help because you've got an editing portfolio now! 🎉
Great tips and advice, when I began freelancing in architectural design i did some free work, later that client referred me to a few others that made me $$$ :) You don't want to make a habit of working for free but when starting out the confidence and possible referrals you can gain from a free job can be more valuable than a one time payout. Always do a good job and your clients will market for you. Thanks for sharing!
Well apparently there is a massive shortage of developers in the recruitment market right now. Of course there's no guarantee because it depends on your quality and customer service and reliability etc - but it's a good niche to choose
I would never, ever recommend Upwork. Clients on there have very unrealistic expectations. They want involved, professional projects done for $50. You'll just end up working round the clock for peanuts.
Yes I have heard mixed reviews. Lots of my friends love it as freelancers - but I know sometimes the prices can be super low. Probably a good way to get started though if you feel like you have no network.
I used to freelance via Elance. I liked Elance. Then it combined with Odesk and became Upwork. Everything changed. All the tests results I'd got vanished and Upwork wanted a larger cut of my earnings. If I remember correctly, at that time, they even wanted to charge me for taking my earnings out. I never had that problem with Elance. I told my clients I would not work for them via Upwork, but offered to work for them direct. They accepted this and I closed my Upwork account. If they had not accepted my decision. I would have stopped providing content for them and closed my Upwork account anyway. I truly hate that company and will always miss Elance.
