What is the value proposition that sets you apart from other freelancers in your field? How can you communicate your expertise and credibility to potential customers?

2 Set your rates

The next step to launching a freelance business is to set your rates. How much do you want to earn from your freelance work? How much do you need to cover your expenses and taxes? How much do you value your time and skills? These are some of the factors that you need to consider when setting your rates. You can also research the market rates for your niche and compare them with your own expectations and goals. You can charge by the hour, by the project, or by the value you deliver, depending on your preference and industry.

You can also create case studies, white papers, or reports to highlight the results and impact of your work.

You need to also maintain and nurture your existing relationships, ask for referrals, testimonials, and reviews, and upsell or cross-sell your services. You need to also invest in your professional development, learn new skills, update your portfolio, and raise your rates. You need to also balance your work and life, avoid burnout, and enjoy the benefits of freelancing.

Conecte-se com outros profissionais mais juniores do que você. Quando você receber propostas que n?o pode atender, passe-as para estes colegas, mediante uma pequena comiss?o (sugiro 10% no início.) Logo, estes colegas mais juniores ser?o profissionais plenos, capazes de mentorar e supervisionar os novos juniores. Traga-os para sua equipe. Assim sua carteira e seus negócios crescer?o.
