Your essential strategy: whether you’re a newbie or an experienced pro, commit to meeting and beating your deadlines.
Let’s look at some easy ways you can do that.
1. Look on each client as a doorway to more clients
Are you a new freelancer? You have concerns and doubts, but relax. Building your business will never be as challenging again, because you’re starting from zero.
Your first client changes everything: someone has hired you to write. Moreover, each project you undertake brings the promise of more clients. (See “create your own goldmine” below.)
Each client is a doorway. Consider this. When a client has a need for your services, chances are that he’ll need you again. In addition, you can ask for referrals.
