A Few Good Clients
By Marsha Maung

Many home workers have asked me this question and the question is “Marsha, how do you find your clients?” How do you earn consistently every single month and manage to survive every month as a freelance writer. The answer is very simple and honest – I have a few good clients. No. Hang on. Make it “I have a few good HAPPY clients” The point is to find that few good clients, work for them with every single ounce of your energy, immerse yourself in their project and see the results.

All big corporations know this. You don’t need a hundred clients to make big bucks! No, you really don’t. The secret is in finding those who knows people who wants to make big bucks so that you can earn big bucks. Although I often market myself, my focus is not on finding new clients (although it’s an important part of business irregardless of industry). The focus of a freelancer is on keeping the current clients happy. It’s true.

You see, I met A some years back and I’ve been doing some work for him for some time. The payment was OK but he was prompt and he knew people. Among all my clients, I focused on A because I had a feeling that he was as strong-willed as I was, believed in the Internet as much as I believed in it and sincerely thought that I did a good job!

Although I didn’t stop advertising or marketing myself, my focus was on pleasing A. A did not disappoint me at all. He knew people, recommended my services and I got more jobs as a freelancer. I then had two good clients. I worked hard for both of them – and they both liked me. And it mushroomed from there.

From just A to B….I am earning a consistent and stable income enough for a freelance mommy like me to survive on.

So, if you’re wondering if you should embark on a freelance career because you don’t have many contacts, just forge ahead. Gain the confidence of the first few clients you have, understand them, deliver and your few good clients will deliver the rest.
