Project description:
"That is exciting! Starting a new project on a freelancing platform requires a mix of strategy, clear communication, and a bit of "salesmanship" to stand out from the crowd.
To give you the best advice, I’ve broken down the essential steps for setting up a successful project or "gig."
1. Define Your High-Value Offer
Don’t just offer a service; offer a solution. Clients aren't looking for "a writer"; they are looking for "a blog post that drives traffic."
* The "Niche" Strategy: Instead of "Graphic Design," try "Brand Identity for Eco-Friendly Startups."
* The Tiered Model: Create Basic, Standard, and Premium packages.
* Basic: The "Foot in the door" (e.g., a simple logo).
* Standard: The "Best Value" (e.g., logo + social media kit).
* Premium: The "Full VIP" (e.g., full branding + style guide).
2. Write a Compelling Description
Avoid a wall of text. Use your formatting toolkit to make it readable:
* The Hook: Start with a question that touches on the client's pain point.
* The "Why Me": Briefly mention your experience or unique approach.
* What’s Included: Use bullet points to list deliverables.
* The Call to Action (CTA): Tell them exactly what to do next (e.g., "Message me before ordering to discuss your vision").
3. Pricing Strategy for New Projects
If you are new to the platform, you need to build social proof (reviews).
| Strategy | Best For... | Pro Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Introductory Pricing | Building reviews fast | Set a low price for the first 3-5 clients, then raise it. |
| Value-Based Pricing | Specialized technical work | Charge based on the ROI you provide the client. |
| Milestone Pricing | Large, long-term projects | Break the work into phases to ensure steady cash flow. |
4. Visual Portfolio
Clients buy with their eyes first.
* High-Quality Thumbnails: Use bright, high-contrast images with minimal text.
* Case Studies: If possible, show "Before" and "After" results.
* Video Intro: Profiles with a short video greeting often have much higher conversion rates.
Pro-Tip: The "Quick Response" Advantage
Freelancing algorithms often prioritize freelancers who respond quickly. Download the platform's app and keep notifications on. A fast response often wins the job over a more experienced but slower freelancer.
