BEAUTIFUL WAYS TO BUILD A WEB DEVELOPER PORTFOLIO
As a freelance web developer, how many clients do you get from your website? If you’re like most, you’re probably lucky to get one client every 2-3 months. Unfortunately, that’s very common.
These days it’s not enough just to be a web developer if you want to make really good money. You have to be able to differentiate yourself in the marketplace to get more opportunities. If you can do this successfully, I’m 100% sure that it will help you win more projects and charge higher rates.
So today I’d like to share with you a little bit of my own story. In the last 4 months, I was able to position myself as a specialist with my personal site that ultimately helped me win more projects and get better clients.
The Importance of Niching Down
The first thing that I would invite you to do is to shift your thinking a little bit.
If you want to be a high-paid professional (especially if you’re a freelancer), you need to learn how to market and sell yourself. And the first rule of marketing is to identify your target audience and the result that you help them achieve.
I can’t over emphasize the importance of this.
You need to know exactly who you help and the outcome that you provide. That is ultimately what you get paid for. So you need to define your ideal client.
My suggestion is to pick a market segment that you would love to work with, that has the money to afford you and (ideally) those that have already done some projects for. bit.ly/2FZpqNp
