I am doing some SEO works in DP.But can I get more works from freelance sites ? Anyone here having great success in freelance sites ? Please guide me !
Start with some small projects. Don't ask too much money and try to provide quality service. Later when you're an established freelancer with a reputation, etc. you will be able to take some big projects and get paid fairly.
Small projct for small fees and usualy lower then the oher To build some rankings Ofer quality services is one of the esential stuff When you reach a certain number of reviews things start to be easy or like me you get recomanded and people start searching for your services
Can someone help with best freelance sites for SEO Services ? What I should do ; just register and bid for each project for low cost or just want to be a paid member and advertise my services ?
Aim for word of mouth marketing. Also, you could niche SEO. SEO Services for Real Estate Agents, SEO Services for eCommerce Stores, etc... The benefit of niching is that you present directly to a target audience and look more like an expert in their exact need. Builds confidence even in the pre sale. Or, you could give away a free do it yourself guide. Link that in forum sigs. Once people see how much work it is, they would rather pay you to do it. Of course, your services are advertised in your free report. This can be niched as above as well. Have you tried Craigslist services ads? I see alot of SEO advertised there.
If you have great SEO skills, why not use that to market your website (for your business/service/portfolio). Depending on your location, craigslist.org occasionally has posts about SEO gigs that need to be completed.
I did quite a bit of work on rentacoder, scriptlance, and getafreelancer when I first starting out. Now I use them more for finding freelancers to do my work. I didn't have any trouble getting projects and now from hiring coders I know what I look for. 1. Try to be one of the first to bid 2. Don't use a template for your bid - personalize and tailor your bid to the project and how your skills can specifically benefit that project. Use references if you have done something similar. 3. The majority of people posting projects want someone they can work with 1 on 1 so trying to look like a big company with many employees will turn some people off. 4. Give specific examples of projects that are similar to that project - posting your entire portfolio in every bid will only bury any relevant work you have done. 5. Doing a little extra or bidding a little lower when you're starting out will go a long way.
hi priya this is good to think about freelance websites, people do get some work. but for the first 6 months you have to work very hard and provide good quality services at very low cost. once you are with good feedback , ranking you have WIN picture. You know when i started i worked for $10 for a small project, now making 3-4k PM. Once you have the reputation your good clients refer you some more new clients to you. but take precautions when you are moving for that, have contract ready and signed with your clients, if possible have some % as upfront. There are posibilities of cheating as well. If possible always look for buyer profile as well (*) How many project he has posted (*) How many he has awarded (*) What is his payment history? (*) His Feedback best of luck...
yes these are great suggestions, i always work with this to catch my client. Because a buyer want to see these details with your bid.....
There is nothing wrong with a templated reponse as long as you customise the middle part. Having a reasonable portfolio is important, certainly having good feedback is very important and agree with others suggestions of offering low bids on small projects to simply get this to start off with. The main thing to remember however is that contrary to what some others have said it is your selling ability that counts and not necessarily your technical skills - though these come into play with your ability to get good feedback
Guru.com is the best place to start wit, but have some passion there and try to get project at any cost first. www.getafreelancer.com www.scriptlance.com Best of luck
