Austin Iuliano says, “Over the past five years working in the digital marketing space, I have found that freelancers can’t seem to get enough work. I hear it all the time. They’re always looking for more and more work. This baffles my mind a bit because there is just so much work to be had. I think the true reason freelancers are searching for work all the time is because they just don’t have an accurate system to generate leads.

How to Get More Freelance Work

Generally speaking, freelancers are people who work in some creative capacity. Examples include but are not limited to graphic designers, bloggers, digital marketers, social media managers and the like. Maybe you are fresh out of college looking to build your portfolio and get hired onto an agency. Maybe you actually want to make freelance work your full-time income. Either way, finding steady clients is going to require you to put some hard work in.

The Prep Work and Strategy

Portfolio

Many freelancers don’t even have their portfolio together in a single place. This blows my mind because it is your single greatest asset. If you don’t have a portfolio, then you have to put some leg work in. Go create a couple of free pieces of content for clients. If you can’t do this, create a concept project or two. My recommendation is to do free work vs concepts because they can lead in to more work. You can even create your portfolio within social sites like Behance that make it super easy”.
