1. What is Freelancing?

Freelancing is providing services as a self-employed individual. It primarily entails working under a contract that
does not need you to report to an office daily at a specific time.

Freelancer is the term used for people who are freelancing. Freelancers are considered self-employed and can
work for different companies independently.

With freelancing, the client pays per project, per task, or per hour, depending on the agreement. Freelance
projects typically involve short-term assignments, although satisfied clients often request follow-on work. Most
freelance jobs are available in the skills, service, and creative sectors, such as copywriting, programming, engineering,
and marketing billing and time management.

Types of Freelancers

An example of a freelancer would be an independent journalist who reports on stories of their own choosing
and then sells their work to the highest bidder. Another example is a web designer or an app developer who does one-
time work for a client and then moves on to another client.

Other contexts in which freelancers often work include:

Graphic design & illustration

Marketing, media, & PR

Financial support (e.g. tax preparation)

Writing, editing, & proofreading

Photography & videography

Data entry

Software programming & beta testing

Website design

Sales

Gig work, such as driving for rideshare platforms, food delivery, manual tasks, and care work, are a type of
freelancing defined by being organized via online platforms and mobile apps.

4. How will you become a freelancer?


This is how to become a freelancer in 7 easy steps

1) Define your service & offering


Turning your skills into a service is the first step to becoming a freelancer. To do this, you’ll need to understand
how your skills can help a prospective client. Try to put yourself in the shoes of your ideal client. What problems
do they have, and how can your skills be used to resolve the issue?

It’s essential to recognize that clients are looking for a solution to a problem. To be a successful freelancer, you
need to understand the client’s situation and use your service to address their issue. The answer to these
questions will be the foundation of how you package your skills as a service. Now it’s time to come up with a
brief description of the service that helps you sell your freelance service to companies. Try to concisely explain
what you can do, how you do it, and for what type of business/client. Don’t worry about the price yet; we’ll get
to that in the later steps.

2) Find your target audience


Now that you have a freelance service to offer, you’ll need to find a target audience. Start by identifying the type
of clients that will be a good fit for your service. Do these clients have a shared problem and common
characteristics? Are they in a specific industry?

As a new freelancer, merely being great at what you do is not enough to automatically have clients seeking you
out. It’s crucial to position yourself in front of your potential clients so they can learn about your services. You’ll
need to take an active role in finding potential clients. For most freelancers, there are three ways to acquire
clients:

Freelance job posting platforms


Leverage existing connections and networking
Marketing, advertising, and outreach
Understanding which of these options works best for you is key to finding relevant clients for your services.

“I started my freelance business on Upwork in 2020 and found my first freelance client through Upwork’s
platform. Over the last year, I have grown my business exclusively through Upwork and client referrals without
paying for advertising or having to attend a networking event.”
—Sean Cope.
Upwork is a work marketplace that helps freelancers and clients connect and engage in meaningful work
projects. On Upwork, clients are actively posting available projects across multiple categories and paying top
price for quality work. You can search here to find projects that match your skills.

3) Develop a pricing structure


Once you have clearly defined your service and your target market, it’s time to set your price. The goal is to
maximize the amount you’re paid without losing out on potential jobs. So, start by looking at your competitors
in the market. What are they charging for similar freelancing services?

In reality, there is no perfect formula for pricing your freelancer services. Many variables can impact the amount
that clients will be willing to pay:

Experience
Industry
Project duration
Deliverables
Project complexity
Client’s geographic location
Urgency
Fortunately, Upwork has some useful resources to help you navigate how to price your freelance services. For
more information, check out the two major pricing models that freelancers use: hourly pricing and project-based
(fixed) pricing.

Do not let uncertainty about your pricing structure keep you from getting started. Your rates are not permanent.
You can change them in the future. Start with a price you feel comfortable with and try not to overthink it.

4) Create your portfolio with past jobs


Creating a compelling portfolio is an integral step to becoming a successful freelancer. As a freelancer, your
portfolio establishes your work quality by showcasing your accomplishments and past projects. This is your
opportunity to show—not just tell—clients what you are capable of doing and the value of your expertise.

Your portfolio should highlight your best work related to your service offering. Each piece in your portfolio
should paint a clear picture of your contributions and how that project benefited the client. Some of the things
that a strong portfolio could include are case studies, testimonials, data-driven results, images, charts, work
samples, and mock-ups. It’s important to receive permission from your past clients before incorporating their
project materials into your portfolio.

5) Write a great proposal


To ensure a successful start as a freelancer, your first project should closely match your work experience and
capabilities. When you find a project that you’re confident that you can provide excellent service for, it’s time to
submit a proposal.

The right proposal can mean the difference between securing a job or not, so it’s critical to have a proposal that
works for you.

On Upwork, submitting a project proposal is easy and straightforward. Using sites or platforms other than
Upwork, you can still utilize this proposal structure to demonstrate your value to potential clients. For best
practices, see freelance copywriter Andreea-Lucia Mihalache’s article on how to build a winning proposal. In
short, a proper proposal should be a strong selling point for your abilities. It needs to outline the company’s
needs, how you can help, and provide your credentials and qualifications. Finally, remaining professional and
friendly is key, so try to use professional language to help you stand out.

Creating a template can help you organize your proposal, but the most successful freelancers tailor it to the
specific client and project. Taking that extra up-front time and effort demonstrates your sincerity, enthusiasm,
and professionalism.

6) Create a relationship with your client


As a freelancer, your clients are your business. While it may seem obvious, it’s important to develop a positive
working relationship with your clients. Successful freelancers establish relationships with clients rather than
thinking of the work as a one-and-done deal. Building a long-term partnership can lead to repeat business and
new client referrals. Here are some key points to keep in mind when creating a relationship with your clients:

Do excellent work: High-quality work is necessary for client satisfaction. You need to provide value and solve the
client’s problem to have a chance to build a long-term relationship with the client.
Communicate with the client: Effective client communication creates a stronger business relationship and
encourages clients to continue to work with you for future projects.
Build trust through consistency: By consistently completing your work on time and providing accurate
deliverables, you can build trust and show that your client can depend on you in the future.
Find opportunities to provide more value: By taking the initiative, identifying new solutions, and taking on
additional responsibilities, you demonstrate your potential value to the client and open up new ways to work
together.
7) Continue developing your skills
Freelancers are hired for the service and skills that they offer to their clients. As a result, it’s crucial for
freelancers to consistently improve their skills, adapt to changes, and expand their knowledge. Keeping up with
current trends is also essential to providing your clients the highest service level. Online learning resources such
as Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, and even YouTube are great starting points for ensuring that your skills
are always up to date.
