Here are 7️⃣ tips which will help you stand out in the world of Freelance 🌎👇🧵
Be a part of a community 🏯

Everyone loves a good old community be it a subreddit or a Facebook group.

Find your potential customer community and provide valuable info to them for free to build trust.

Provide first, then sell

Something which you may find of use :
Build a personal brand🗣️

Every other Freelancer is on Fiverr, but how many of them actually have a blog or twitter where they provide useful content ? Not many.

Start your own blog in your niche and post content consistently, eventually you'll start to stand out.
Collaborate with people🤝

It's tough getting client's early but collaborations can make it easier.

An example:- Supposedly you provide SEO services, then you can reach out to a website designer who can refer his clients to you.

Always build long lasting connections
Get reviews any way you can⭐

Everyone loves social proof, especially your potential clients so try to get reviews in early in any way you can. Some common ways to achieve this :-

- Providing small help for free
- Asking your Friends
Cold e-mailing🥶

Cold e-mailing works if done right, find your potential client e-mails through their website or linkedin and send em a mail highlighting a problem which you can solve for them.

A thread which I wrote on cold e-mailing:
Be great at what you do🧨

Your work is your credibility so only sell your services when you are sure of yourself and your skills.

You are helping real people out their who are putting their faith and money in your hands so no matter what happens, never disappoint em.
Be consistent✨

It will take time, for some it will take longer than others but you have to be consistent with your efforts.

Eventually, you'll will start seeing results.

Don't be too harsh on yourself, be patient and continue to provide value.
