FREELANCERS, SMALL & HOME-BASED BUSINESSES: HOW TO CREATE A WINNING PROFILE
Did
you create a freelance profile that isn't generating any leads? Well look
no further than this article for a few techniques to help boost
your profile to the top of the list.
SPOTLIGHT FREELANCERS / CONSULTANTS FROM OUR CREATIVE PORTFOLIOS SECTION
CREATE A WINNING FREELANCER PROFILE #1. KEYWORDS
To create an effective profile you need to use a little backwards
thinking. Pretend that you are the client. How would you go about
searching for a freelancer in your profession? What keywords would
you use to search for yourself? Do yourself a favor . search for "graphic designer", "technical writer", "cartoonist", or whatever
profession you are in. Look at the top five profiles. What keywords
did these individuals use in their descriptions? Don't copy, but
definitely try to imitate what these professionals wrote. Next .
Brainstorm! Brainstorm! And then brainstorm some more. Think of
all of the keywords that match your skills and put them in your
profile. Yes . The more keywords the better, but your profile needs
to make sense, so don't just stick all of your keywords in a jumbled
mess. You won't get any responses if you do this.
CREATE A WINNING FREELANCER PROFILE #2.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
With hundreds of experts in your field listed on the freelance sites
you will need to explain your talents in detail. If you are a designer
of Flash pages, but you don't want to design HTML pages, state this
clearly in your description and title. Otherwise, you will get leads
not matching your skills. Although it would be wise to broaden your
skills and accept HTML and Flash projects if you are in need of
work.
Think
of your profile as a standard cover letter that you send out with
your resume. You would not send out a cover letter without thinking
over what you are writing. Think of this profile in the same fashion.
Don't leave any blanks in the profile form that you fill out. Believe
me, this will lose you many a potential client. When you leave blanks,
you leave the client wondering what you are hiding. And, Don't forget
to USE KEYWORDS every chance that you get.
CREATE A WINNING FREELANCER PROFILE #3.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO OFFER
If you are new to freelancing, this part might be a little tough.
Think these questions over and try to find the right answers. What
do you have to offer clients? How can you solve potential clients'
problems? How are you better than other experts in your field? Write
to impress!
Again,
look at other individual's profiles. What do you like about the
profiles that you see? Incorporate these good qualities into your
writing style. And be VERY SPECIFIC! Give examples of specific gigs
that you have completed. Explain the way that you worked with these
clients. How did you solve past problems? What works are you most
proud of?
If
you are new in your field, and you are looking for your first gig
then you should offer your service for free or for a minimal charge
to get some experience under your belt. If this is your case then
you will need to concentrate more on your education and skills when
you are writing your profile.
CREATE A WINNING FREELANCER PROFILE #4.
DON'T RULE OUT CRITERIA
Keep in mind that the criteria that you choose in your profile determines
a good match when a client searches. This includes variables that
you have control over like rate, timing, hours per week, and onsite
or offsite work. Don't rule out changing any of these variables
in order to get a gig. For example, if you prefer to work offsite,
consider choosing both "onsite" and "offsite" to get more matches.
Also, do some research to see what others in your profession are
charging per hour. If your hourly rate is too high, you can potentially
lose clients.
CREATE A WINNING FREELANCER PROFILE #5.
NO BLANKS
Don't leave any blanks on the profile form. Leaving questions blank
creates concern in prospective clients. They might wonder "what
is this person trying to hide?" or they might just go on to the
next expert.
CREATE A WINNING FREELANCER PROFILE #6.
DESCRIPTIVE TITLES
Why blend in with everyone else when you can be the one who stands
out? Doesn't "Expert Flash Designer/Developer with 5+ years Experience"
stand out in the crowd of "Flash Designer" titles? Most of the freelance
job sites allow you to have very long titles. Take advantage of
this fact. Clients sift thru titles after they do a search. If you
have a catchy title they will definitely take a look at your profile!
CREATE A WINNING FREELANCER PROFILE #7.
REFERENCES
Take some time and gather references. Without references, your profile
might get totally passed by. Hiring a freelancer is risky business.
If you don't have people who can vouch for you that you are responsible,
how can a client be sure that you are reliable? If you have to,
use old co-workers or friends from college as a referral.
CREATE A WINNING FREELANCER PROFILE #8.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Collect all of your past "real" jobs and gigs. Make sure to place
your most impressive examples of your work at the top of the list.
When you describe each job you had make sure to explain in detail
what the result of your work was. What problems did you solve? Did
you leave the client happy? Don't leave any of your work experience
out of this list. Place your least impressive example at the bottom
of the list.

written. Below is a list of freelance sites that you
