Is your website a content hub where you educate potential clients? Are you looking to stop quality leads?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everybody will be your ideal client, so <strong>qualifying leads<\/strong> through your website could be useful for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to invest in <strong>SEO<\/strong> so that <strong>people can organically find you<\/strong> when they type something in Google or through other sources (other sites linking to your own site).

Is it through organic reach? Networking? Referrals? <strong>Analysing your data will give you all the answers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing exactly which channel the majority of your clients came from will allow you to invest more time and energy into those channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t use an invoicing app that tells you this, there are still two ways that you can do this &#8211; first by reaching out to clients (new and old) and <strong>asking them where and how did they hear about you<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, by making use of data analysis. <strong>Analytics (be it from Google or your website) will tell you exactly where your clients are coming from.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that acquiring new clients is <strong>mostly a game of trial and error.<\/strong> After a period of time, you\u2019ll know what works for you and what doesn&#8217;t. This is especially true if you\u2019re just starting out. Focus on <strong>active client acquisition first<\/strong> and once you\u2019ve made a name for yourself, you can automate your process to focus on other things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"get-repeat-business\">Tips to get repeat business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Repeat business<\/strong>&nbsp;is one of the most important&nbsp;<strong>revenue sources<\/strong>&nbsp;for freelancers.&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/strong-relationships-with-clients\/\">Long-term relationships<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;mean<strong>&nbsp;steady work<\/strong>.

Involve clients in the work process (if they\u2019re up for it!)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some freelancing contracts go like this: The client contacts you, you work out the details of the contract, set the deadline and deliver the product after a number of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might be simple and efficient in some cases, but<strong>&nbsp;it\u2019s also a good way to<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>make sure the client never remembers your name<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main way to avoid that is simple:&nbsp;<strong>communicate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go through important details with the client, ask questions, and think of alternative ways to do something \u2013 in short,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/5-tips-for-better-communication-with-your-clients-as-a-freelancer-\/\">involve them in the work process<\/a>. This ensures they will get exactly what they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A perfect product means they will remember who it was that did it for them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Be proactive in offering solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to&nbsp;<strong>provide unexpected value to the client is by offering your expertise<\/strong>&nbsp;when&nbsp;<strong>talking about the project for the first time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your client might or might not have a very clear idea of the project goals or the best ways to achieve them.&nbsp;<strong>You\u2019re the expert.<\/strong>&nbsp;You know what works and what doesn\u2019t. So&nbsp;<strong>share that knowledge with them<\/strong>. Don\u2019t be afraid to offer suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you make webpages for a living and the design the client envisions is not exactly up to standard. Or you\u2019re a writer and the client wants you to do a five-page article, which you\u2019re sure nobody will bother reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of just designing a mediocre webpage or writing a useless article,&nbsp;<strong>offer your advice<\/strong>. That way, you can be the&nbsp;<strong>one who takes credit<\/strong>&nbsp;when the client reaps the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, there are different types of freelancers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Executers:&nbsp;<\/strong>They work under the motto \u201ctell me what to do, and I\u2019ll complete the job\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Problem-solving consultants<\/strong>: Their motto is \u201ctell me what\u2019s the problem, and I\u2019ll suggest a solution\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strategic consultants<\/strong>: These professionals work under the premise \u201ctell me your goals and I\u2019ll help you reach them faster\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can imagine, the last type of consultant can be a key part of the growth strategy of a business and&nbsp;<strong>any client will value that<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such kind of consultants are not easy to find, so if you\u2019re one, that will ensure that you&nbsp;<strong>will have repeat and long-term businesses with your clients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Be reliable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This should be an obvious point. One of the biggest worries people have when approaching freelancers for a project is the&nbsp;<strong>lack of reliability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clients are often afraid they won\u2019t be able to control freelancers as they can with employees in the office, which in their mind inevitably leads to missed deadlines and subpar work. Prove them wrong.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/business.tutsplus.com\/articles\/14-essential-tips-for-meeting-a-deadline--fsw-240\" target=\"_blank\">Meet all your deadlines<\/a>.&nbsp;<em>Beat<\/em>&nbsp;your deadlines when you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deliver that extra cherry on top, that last 10 percent that makes good work great. Proving yourself to be reliable is an important step towards getting repeat business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Follow up after finishing a job<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to signal that the business relationship isn\u2019t over just because one project has been completed is to&nbsp;<strong>follow up<\/strong>&nbsp;after the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wait several weeks&nbsp;<\/strong>(or months, this will depend on the kind of work you did) after the project is done and&nbsp;<strong>contact your client.<\/strong>&nbsp;Ask them whether they are still happy with the work you did.&nbsp;<strong>Ask them for feedback<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some freelancers take this step as far as creating a&nbsp;<strong>standardized survey<\/strong>&nbsp;for every client. This also has the added benefit of allowing you to track additional data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could contact only your&nbsp;<strong>most satisfied customers<\/strong>&nbsp;separately at the end of the year. Not only will they be impressed with your dedication to creating quality content, but an extra email will help&nbsp;<strong>keep your name in their memory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also turn an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/5-simple-steps-to-help-you-deal-with-unsatisfied-clients\/\">unhappy client<\/a>&nbsp;into a happy one that you could keep as a recurring client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Nurture existing relationships on a personal level<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a freelancer, your&nbsp;<strong>personality is part of your business<\/strong>. You\u2019re a unique individual with a certain skillset, but you also work in a very personalized market.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/freelance-headshot-photo\/\">Photos<\/a>&nbsp;matter. Your hobbies matter. How you interact with your clients matters, and not only on a strictly formal level either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being friendly on a personal level is one of the things that keeps long-term business relationships going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your client shared that they recently had a child? Ask how they\u2019re doing. A client visited an interesting place? Talk to them about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t underestimate how much those<strong>&nbsp;little details matter<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 they remind the other side that you\u2019re not just a name in the emails, but a<strong>&nbsp;real person who cares about them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Remind them you exist once in a while<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Busy clients might forget how great that project went. Even if you left a good impression, keeping track of every single freelancer can be hard, especially for larger companies. How do you counter this? By&nbsp;<strong>keeping in touch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a reason why a lot of freelancers have newsletters and like to wish their clients a merry Christmas. A lot of those&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/personal-brand-freelance-online-presence\/\">marketing strategies<\/a>&nbsp;are about reminding your clients that you exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So take a day every three months or so to&nbsp;<strong>contact old clients and see if it leads to something<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Do you have any client acquisition tips that you\u2019d like to share?
