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.
