How to create a freelancing website that makes money.

Everything I've learned.

A thread.

As a freelancer,

Your website is everything.

First, prioritise its existence.

Second, prioritise its improvement.

The technology you use is irrelevant.

- WordPress
- Notion
- Carrd
- Wix

It doesn't matter which you choose,

What matters is you have a website.

Pick a platform that you're comfortable with.

If you can:

- Capture leads
- Add content easily
- Have a clear design

You're good.

If your website doesn't get leads,

It's not working.

Don't rest on a website that doesn't work for you.

Improve it until it does.

Pricing freelancing projects.

Everything I've learned.

A thread.

Having one pricing strategy that you can apply to every real-world engagement is often a fallacy.

Learn these pricing methodologies:

- Hourly billing
- Daily billing
- Retainers
- Fixed-pricing
- Value-based pricing

Understand their pros and cons.

Understand your circumstances.

Understand the project.

Choose appropriately.

Charging by the hour doesn't work in favour of freelancers.

If you need to use it to get started,

Stop using it as soon as you can.

Hourly billing is by far the worst pricing methodology to use for profit.

Marketing for freelancers.

Everything I’ve learned.

A thread.

If you don’t take marketing seriously,

Prepare for constant battle.

Good marketing makes everything easier.

- Getting clients
- Pricing projects
- Negotiation

All the hard stuff, made easier.

Good marketing makes everything better.

- The clients you work with
- The projects you work on
- The pay you receive

All the important stuff, made better.

When supply outweighs demand, freelancing is tough.

When demand outweighs supply, freelancing is freeing.
