Finding new clients always involves some work. But if you go about it in the right way, it will become less of a challenge. You still must be a go-getter, and be able to showcase your skills. The pay you receive depends on it.
One of the challenges you face is the competition. You can’t change that. It will always be there. What you can do, however, is change your own approach; to one that will leave the competition in a cloud of dust.
These three things can make that happen.
- Build your own creative website – or update the one you have
If you’re in the business of creating websites for others, why wouldn’t you have one of your own? Having your own website is the easiest and most effective way to showcase your skills.
You’ll naturally want to include an awesome portfolio. But even more important, your website should provide an amazing experience. It’s the first step in getting an assignment, and if you do it right, it’s the only step you’ll need.
You want those visitors to say:
“That website is far more impressive than anything I’ve considered, and I want one just like it.”
And, you’re obviously the person that can deliver it.
Be Theme’s great selection of over 45 pre-built creative portfolio websites will get you off to a fast start.
- Getting clients in less time, building a better portfolio, and receiving referrals
Getting more clients in less time is easier than you think. A problem you face is that different clients represent different niches and industries. They have vastly different requirements.
You could spend countless hours either looking for a theme to fit a client’s needs or building one from scratch. A better approach is to devote those hours to actual design work.
Be Theme makes it all possible. It has pre-built websites to fit every industry sector and most business niches. Moreover, all of them are customizable! So you can easily create a beautiful website for a hard-to-please client in half a day.
