Freelancing is NOT for everybody, but it is for everyone 😎
Just give freelancing an honest attempt for a year.
If you enjoy it - cool.
If you don't - cool.
At least you tried.
The freelancing blueprint 🧵👇
Freelancing is NOT for everybody, but it is for everyone 😎
Just give freelancing an honest attempt for a year.
If you enjoy it - cool.
If you don't - cool.
At least you tried.
1. Learn how to make a website (Web Design).
2. Learn how to get sales for a business (Digital Marketing).
3. Learn Web Design and Digital Marketing.
I'd recommend option 3.
You're offering a once-off and monthly service.
Win-win.
1. Build a portfolio website (research on YouTube).
2. Build example websites (showing your experience).
3. Get client testimonials (even if you do free work for 2 projects only).
Now you're ready to approach clients.
Start off by working with any type of business.
Get experience.
Then as you get a few projects and work in a few industries, niche down your services.
Here's why: https://t.co/o2tWhnl4uM
In short, NEVER charge per hour.
Charge a fixed project price or value-based pricing.
Here's WHY: https://t.co/GXhTy2F0W1
And here's HOW to do this effectively: https://t.co/U8oVmq2Ova
Do this:
→ Google Ads
→ Facebook Groups
→ LinkedIn Outreach
→ Freelance Platforms
→ Manual Outreach
Here's HOW in more detail: https://t.co/U8oVmq2Ova
ALWAYS offer 3 pricing options like this:
Example:
Option 1 - $3,250
Option 2 - $4,500
Option 3 - $8,000
Most of the time clients choose Option 2.
Some choose Option 3, and only a few choose Option 1.
Here's HOW (with a free template): https://t.co/NcBQlsH12C
LEARN how to OUTSOURCE.
5 clients paying you $1,500 a month for Marketing.
You outsource the tasks to someone else for $500 per client.
You net $5,000 per month (not doing most of the hard work).
= Freedom
= Good income
...now you grow and get 10+ clients.

Should we go into the details of these 125 years?
SA is built on the exploitation of labour. That labour has functioned on alcohol unfortunately. Very few people consume liquor purely for enjoyment unfortunately. When SAB opened its doors 1895 workers were paid in alcohol- the dop/tot system. 2 years into SAB's establishment
The Prohibition Act is introduced. This means black people are barred from buying your wines, beer etc. So SAB's products are exclusively for white people. But during this period beer brewing by Black women is the norm. Ayinxilisi ncam ke this type of beer. Apparently it had some
Nutritious elements to it. Now some of the context around drinking culture during this time is migrant labour to the mines, further land dispossession, the Anglo-Boer Wars, Rhodes corruption (our first state capture commission if you will) which leads to his resignation.
This context plays a role in how our cities and small towns are constructed, how they lead to the confinement and surveillance yabantu. Traditional beer brewing is identified as a threat because buy now mining bosses have identified that there's money to be made here.
SAB has formed part of the fabric of SA for the last 125 years & we've stood behind the nation through its triumphs & challenges. After much consideration,SAB has decided to approach the Courts to challenge the Constitutionality of the decision taken to re-ban the sale of alcohol pic.twitter.com/40rWpJSW5b

Krugman is, of course, right about this. BUT, note that universities can do a lot to revitalize declining and rural regions.
