How to Get Good Clients as a Freelancer

Pricing
- Have minimums and stick to them
- Don’t undercut
- Don’t offer discount
Quality over quantity
- Monthly recurring income
- 7 clients make up 90% of my revenue
- The remaining ~13 make up the final 20%
Use a contract every single time
- Pay a lawyer to do it right.
- Serious businesses will expect it
- Protects you and the client
- Covers against scope creep
- Get paid on time
Fire clients
- Listen to red flags in initial meetings
- If the client is unreasonable, rude, etc fire them
- Fall back on the terms of your contract
Specialize
- Don’t be a jack of all trades
- Don’t offer website design, social media, ppc, seo, etc as 1 person
- Focus on 2 or 3 things you do extremely well and charge for it
Communication is key
- Reach out via a call, text, email every few days
- Keep clients updated
- Just answer the damn phone
- Don’t hide behind email
