Do you want to sell more and be able to charge more for your freelance services?

Have you ever come across a product or service that just felt like it was made for you? You saw it and just HAD to have it? When you did, did you really need to be sold on it?

Probably not.

You knew you wanted it the instant you saw it.

That's no accident.

A lot of time and research went into that.

And, as a freelancer, the more irresistible the offer you put in front of potential clients, the more you'll sell those services and the more you'll be able to charge.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a place you could just get all the answers you needed to figure out what your services and your offers should be in order to be irresistible like this?

There is.

Fiverr.

And, in this video, I'm going to show you how to use it to figure out what services you can offer clients and how to build your packages... without guessing what will or won't work.

Back when I was just a freelancing tadpole…I was working a 9-5 at a local pizza joint. I’d spend my days slinging pizza and my nights working on client projects and trying to build my freelance business. I had more than my share of “all-nighters” in those days.So, I can 100% relate to this question I got from Jan:“My problem is that I do not have much time to build my own website and so portfolio or blog as doing lots of clients work while having 9-5 job but I know it is dead important. I think that there a lot of developers stuck like me – doing work for others but lack of time for personal promotion. That would be actually a good topic for a blog post if you will, how to escape clients work and start your own promotion and build an online presence.”This episode is the things I learned to get me over the hump and go freelance full-time.

When I first started freelancing, I had no idea how to get clients. No plan for growing my business. Constantly worrying about where my next client was going to come from. Would I be able to pay the bills next month? Would it all fall apart and I'd have to go back to a 9-5 job?And then, I discovered content marketing.I learned how to build a funnel. I learned what a lead magnet was. I learned how to build landing pages and write blog posts. And suddenly, I had a plan.I KNEW where my next clients were coming from...Because I had a backlog of quote requests.That's what it did for me. Now, I want to share with YOU what I've learned in the decade since. How to start building your own funnel and use content to get clients.This is the first in a series of episodes I'll do exploring this topic. This is a big picture preview of how to start a blog and use it to start generating leads and clients.

Yes. But, you need to be clear on what you're charging for and what you're not... and it needs to make sense. Plus, ways I've figured out to approach clients about it, so they don't get mad and walk away.
