Coach Grace: How to get Premium Freelancing Clients

Coach Grace: Hi there, my name is Grace and I am the co-founder, owner and creator

of filipino Virtual Assistance. And today allow me to share with you techniques on how

you can attract Premium freelancing clients. When it comes to living a life of our dreams

we are always told to go and work hard and live outside of our comfort zone. There is

no shortcut to success, there is no overnight type of success. We have heard these

things over and over again and as freelancers we are always being told to go for

competitive freelancing niches. When we go for competitive niches, we not only enjoy

shorter working hours but also higher hourly rates or higher contracts with higher paid.

Also lesser competition and more demand with it comes to our freelancing skills. But

how can we go into competitive niches that we truly enjoy, the answer is to go from a

zero level freelancer to a hero level freelancer.

A zero level freelancer means a freelancer with zero skill to offer to clients at all. You

probably have work in the past which is offline, you probably know something in the

online world but when it comes to being competitive with your skills you have zero skill

to offer. And the sole goal for this type of freelancer is to go for self enrichment. This

means that you have to enrich yourself, you have to empower yourself with different

skills and expertise, you have to go through the training may it be paid or not paid but

the sole purpose and your sole focus is not getting clients not attracting premium

clients because it will not just happen. You will have failed expectations. What you

were going to focus on is you need to go for self enrichment.

The second type of freelancer is the wanna be freelancer, this is the type of freelancer

who has some freelancing skill or niches to offer to clients, however is not just enough

to really go ahead for premium clients. There’s always going from one client to the

other and you are competing with millions of others of freelancers because your

freelancing skill that you can offer to clients is not competitive enough There’s no

mastery, you are not an expert of that field and the sole goal for this type of freelancer

is niche development. This means you have to gain the trust, you have to gain that

online freelancing experience.

friends or to relatives who have businesses for free at first or probably offer your

freelancing services lower than what it should be in order to really just gain the trust. To

establish your portfolios to gain that freelancing experience, because once you have

established your online portfolio you can go to the next type of freelancer.

And this freelancer is what we call the good freelancer, this is freelancing with a focus

niche however you are not hitting your goals when it comes to your annual or quarterly

or even monthly goals because you chase clients it’s not the premium clients who are

coming to you. You always have to prove yourself to clients, you are doing good but it’s

not better or best enough. This is why the sole goal of this freelancing is operational

excellence, when we’re talking about operational excellence you have to find out

what’s working best for you, when it comes to your strategy, customer service and

marketing. You have to master the best approaches and practices in order to establish

the trust based marketing and clients will come your way. So premium clients will start

coming your way.

The next one is what we call the hero freelancer, this is freelancing with the niche you

love you’re able to enjoy this niche now because you have gone through the process

and when we say process it may be trying different niches from your zero wanna be and

your good freelancer levels. You’re able to develop the very character and very

strategies that will make you a hero freelancer. You are now able to earn big as you

serve others, premium clients come to you when they are in need of assistance, and

when your a hero freelancer you maintain a level of authority and leadership in your

freelancing niche and when you have reached the hero level your sole goal is to

constantly do things for the right reasons and balance profit and serving people.

So how can you get premium freelancing clients, find out what is it that you love, learn

it, master it, be an expert of that freelancing niche and dominate in that field by

operating with excellence.

That would be all for today, I hope that this has been helpful.

Let me know in the comment section what level are you right now when it comes to your

freelancing.

Have a good day everyone, God bless you and I will see you again in the next video.
