How To Find Jobs As A Freelancer

16 September 20

Have you decided to take up freelancing as a full-time job but are afraid that finding jobs may be a struggle? We’re here to tell you the opposite.

While it is true that clients won’t just find you out of the blue, if you really put an effort into searching for jobs and do so consistently, you will succeed. Here are some of the most effective strategies to find freelance work:

1. Join a freelancing platform

This is the most obvious and probably even the easiest strategy in finding jobs. Simply register on one or several freelancing platforms, create your profile, and showcase your skillset! These platforms are always full of potential clients, so it’s only a matter of time when you’ll land a job.

2. Facebook groups

Join various Facebook groups for freelancers. This is a great way to land local jobs as some potential clients go straight to Facebook instead of freelancing platforms to search for a professional.

3. LinkedIn

LinkedIn is also a very promising platform for landing jobs. Start with a powerful summary of your work and fill it with various keywords related to your job. This way you are more likely to pop in search results and land a job.

4. Sending pitches

Cold pitching. Nobody likes it, yet it’s a pretty solid marketing idea. For example, if you’re a copywriter and you come upon a company that, you believe, could use some text updates, don’t be afraid to get in touch with them and offer your services. Just make sure, that when you’re sending pitches, they’re personalized rather than copy-pasted. This way, you’re more likely to get a response.

5. Networking

Spread the word about your new freelancing virtue. Tell your past colleagues, friends, family, neighbors, even your Facebook friends – the more people know the better! Don’t be shy, you’d be surprised how many potential clients could find out about your services through word of mouth. 

As you can see, there are many different ways to find freelance work. The hardest part will be sending out those first requests, but with time, it will only get easier. Keep on looking, believe in yourself, and before you know it you will have built a promising freelancing career!
