Tip#1:
If you are creating a Gig at Fiverr
then be specific to a domain e.g. “I will create an
attendance system for a Gym” and market your gig to websites/places where Gym
owner’s probability is higher. In this way Gym,
related personnel’s will definitely prefer you over other freelancers if they
need attendance system for their business. Hence if you need to attract
non-technical persons of any domain this is a preferred way. Just try this and
share your feedback.
Tip#2:
If you see a project with high price value e.g. 1000$ then use
premium bid option for it. It will enhance your chances of getting the project. Let me first tell you what premium bid
is. Every freelance market allows you to put a premium
bid. Your bid will come in top bids all of a sudden because you pay for it. Why
I said that your chances of getting project will increase, it is because
employers normally have a psyche that if
you are paying for a bid it means you definitely have expertise over it and you
have a keen interest in his project. Some
freelancing sites like Guru.com will also give you an edge that it will open
its PMB messaging window to communicate with the employer directly.
Tip # 3: Behave Professional in project response:
Professionalism is what matters a lot in the freelance market place. What actually a professional
behavior mean, some known facts about professionalism may include
·
You are punctual in
committed deliverable
·
You complete your work in a
fixed time frame
·
You ask related and
important questions which could help you in finishing your project
·
You deliver a project on the
agreed timeline
But there are some more important rules which we normally ignore
while dealing with any client. Let me disclose
to you the points which most of us don’t care at the freelance market place.
·
Be courteous: Your courtesy
determines whether the employer will read
your response or not.
·
Courtesy does not mean to
say “Good morning” to your employers in a bid J because it is not compulsory
that he will see your request at morning time. This does not show your
professionalism and employer may put off without reading the next line. So be soft and selective in choosing
words and use humble and energetic words.
· According to a study, it takes 5 seconds to an employer to
grab the attention by a freelancer message so it is very compulsory to be
courteous at the very beginning. It
determines that an employer will make a deal or break a deal in these five
seconds.
'
Stay to the point it is a
big demand for professionalism. You have
to be spot on with your response.
Tell the employer about your professional experience.
Tell the employer about your work. It
could be your portfolio; it could be the industry you worked with, this is the
way of getting an employer attention. Your employer at the freelance market
place will get a lot of bids so if you mention your professional
experience in the related task it may help to get your employer attention.
·
Be courteous till the end
with your salutations and greetings. We normally start our dealing with very
positive and humble behavior but we don’t bother to end the written
communication in a sophisticated way. Be sure to wrap up the conversation in a
very humble and determine way.
What employers actually search for in a freelancer?
·
You have to have positive
energy
·
You have to be respectful
·
You have to be diligent
These are the energies
which attract employers to listen to you.
If he doesn’t get the positive energy from you he will definitely move to next
freelancer with more energetic feels, more professional behavior, more focused
and showing more willingness for the project.
