Here’s another way to land some freelance gigs, via Reddit:
I’ve recently found myself on the otherside of the bar, hiring a freelancer.
This guy messages me every day letting me know when he’s idle, telling me he wants more work, even looking for things he can work on.
In the hirer’s shoes for the first time I’m so impressed. And I’ve given him a lot more work than I would have otherwise.
I’ve taken a leaf out of his book and poked a few clients myself and it’s worked a treat.
Messaging clients every day is probably excessive though 🤔
I prefer this approach mentioned in the comments:
I send all my past clients a message at the beginning of every month asking how they’re doing and to let me know if they have any projects in the pipeline for the coming month so I can set some time aside for them in my schedule. Works for me.
