When you are starting up as a Freelancer Web/Graphics Designer, Copywriter…

You market yourself
Not your business or agency (just yet)
So for an introvert freelancer, marketing can be very tough. You don’t want to come out as someone who boasts about themselves…


But you can’t rely on word of mouth referrals only.

What’s the answer?

“You’re going to have to toughen up and get used to self promotion”.

share your work instead of talking about yourself

show prospects the results they can expect from you

write short case studies of jobs you’ve done

create before & after screen shots of your work

I guess It takes time to adjust to it but step by step we can hope to get more confident about marketing our freelance work.

Anybody relate?

Inspired by “The freelance introvert” book.
