RE: How Quitting From Freelancing Sites Made Me A Better Freelancer

in OCD4 years ago

Thanks for your tips.

I also tried to be a blog writer, on fiverr, workana, pages as a freelancer, in none of the first two pages did I get jobs, nobody visited my profile. Then with some colleagues from the freelancer page we got bloggers of 500 to 1000 words at a free price and receiving a very rude attitude from the bosses. Well, it didn't work out. So far I have not managed to make it work, my niche is definitely medicine, and I need a consultant, I will look for them as soon as I can.

After fiverr and Upwork don't work, where did you direct your work?

Thanks for the guidance and a great post. Great job!


Gracias por tus consejos. Yo también intente ser escritora de blog, en fiverr, workana, paginas como freelancer, en ninguno de las dos primeras páginas obtuve trabajos, nadie visitaba mi perfil. Luego con unos compañeros desde la pagina de freelancer conseguimos escritoras de blog de 500 a 1000 palabras a un precio regalado y recibiendo una actitud de los jefes muy grosera. Bueno, no resulto. Hasta ahora no he logrado que resulte, mi nicho es la medicina definitivamente, y necesito un asesor, los buscaré en cuanto pueda.

Luego de que no funciona fiverr y Upwork a donde dirigiste tu trabajo?

Gracias por la orientación y una gran publicación. Gran trabajo!

Absolutely relatable. It's funny how low-budget clients have more audacity to be demanding haha. The best clients are just chill. My first client paid me my first month salary in advance without a contract. But be careful of others, too. I guess I was just lucky.

When Fiverr and Upwork didn't work for me. I joined Facebook and Linkedin groups. I also joined Reddit communities (altho i haven't had a client from there yet). In your case, your niche is medicine. So, join FB groups where doctors are lurking. Observe the posts, maybe they're conveying a problem that you can help in solving. Keep commenting in the posts and provide value. They'll notice you. And they'll think you're an expert coz you know what you're talking about.

As for me, I found my first client in an FB group for copywriting jobs. She was a VA for the client. She said she's looking for a finance blog writer. I went ahead and gave her a message. I told her why I'm in the position to help, and I offered to do a discounted test article 😊
