What Do You Provide?

Continuing with last post in becoming a good freelancer, let’s explore what is what you as a freelance provide.

What do people buy when they buy something from you?

People buy the experience of dealing with a human who is empathetic, honest and determined to push you.

When you work with me, you get a work of passion. Something which you can take and level it up more. And I am there – for you to bring out the best narrative.

Leave out the easy, repetitive, generic stuff… What you are doing that’s difficult?

The thing which is difficult which I add is –

• Bringing a personal connection to the work
• More ideas to help in the big picture
• Commitment to grow together
• Your pain points will be addressed
• I will hear
• And I will connect at deeper level
• Make the work which you will be proud of
• A sense of better human being

That’s it. Go ahead and answer the same – if you want to become a professional freelancer.

List 10 Things You Deliver To Your Client – Things that aren’t the thing. Things like timeliness, confidence, respect, a story, etc.

• Empathy
• Understanding of their pain points
• Making them proud of the result
• Listening them
• Making their project personal to mine
• Becoming their partner in ideas
• Recommending them resources
• Standing for them
• Giving the more as required
• Giving the more when not required

Because merely being better isn’t of value if you are late or keep on giving excuses

Deliver something to people they value
