301: What's Working Right Now To Land Freelance Clients?

EPISODE 301 SHOW NOTES

Hey guys! Happy Monday! As summer winds down, we’re heading into the back-to-school season, and that means the fall hiring boom is almost here! In today’s episode, I’m sharing what’s working right now to land freelance clients. These tips are based on the real experiences of our Live Free Academy students, and if you’ve been listening to the podcast lately, you know they’re seeing some amazing results.

Three Tips to Land Clients Right Now:

Reach Out to Local Brick-and-Mortar Businesses:
Lately, students who are landing clients quickly and having fast success are focusing on local, traditional brick-and-mortar businesses like attorneys, chiropractors, therapists, and financial advisors. These businesses are established, need help, and can afford to hire the support they need.
Leverage Word-of-Mouth Referrals:
The more people who know what you do, the better. People love recommendations and referrals. So, spread the word about your services – you never know where your next client might come from!
Stay Consistent:
Our monthly “Land Your First (or next) Client” challenges are so powerful to build the consistency & momentum that you need lead to landing clients!

If you’re in the early stages of your freelance business and aren’t seeing the results you want, it might be time to get an outside perspective. If you’re a member of Live Free Academy, hop on a weekly coaching call or join our next monthly challenge starting September 2nd!

More about the Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn:

How do I get started? What if I fail? Who will hire me? Is it really possible to create a consistent, full-time income from home?

Welcome to the Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn where we will be answering these questions PLUS many more! Whether you’re just starting your freelance business (heck even if you don’t know what freelancing is yet) or you’re looking to scale, this podcast will give you tangible business advice along with inspiring interviews to help you create a life and career that works for YOU and YOUR family.

Your host, Micala Quinn, started out teaching high-school English, but when her first child was born, she immediately began searching for something more. She wanted a way to stay-at-home with her daughter (and future babies), but still needed to bring in a full-time income to help support her family. Micala started freelancing, quickly replaced her full-time income, and now helps other moms (like you) get started and grow their freelance business from scratch to 5K and beyond! She believes that being a working mom or a stay-at-home mom no longer needs to be a black and white decision. You CAN have both. On your terms!

Our motto is Mom Strong, Work Smart, and Live Free. Are you in? We’d love for you to join us each Monday, as well as in our Live Free Podcast Facebook community!
