Here are 5 tips from Sumit Ojha to achieve success in Freelancing.

1. Create a professional website.

Creating a website is a great place to showcase your past projects. Make sure the site looks clean and professional. Despite how great your work might be, if your website does not look good, you will lose potential customers.

2. Get reviews from past customers.

In addition to showing off past work on your site, you should include customer testimonials. Prospective clients love to see that others have worked with you and enjoyed their experience.

3. Work on freelance sites

Getting your name on freelance websites can be very helpful. Although the sites tend to take a fraction of cut as a commission from which you earn, it is an easy way to find new business. You can always reject projects if you do not want them.

4. Cold outreach to potential clients

You also have to hustle to find new clients. No matter how good your work is, it does not matter if nobody knows who you are. Therefore, you should frequently do cold outreach.

You can pay $20 a month for a cold email tool and spend another $20 to find lead lists that fit your target demographic, for example. Then, you can reach out to them and see if they need any help. Even if you score just one client out of 100 emails, it will be worth your time.

5. Referral program

Create a public referral program. With past clients and even friends, you can share that you will give them some commission if they refer you to a project. This give you new business without much work finding it.

6. Find additional ways to make money.

As a freelancer, you have to get creative about ways in which you bring in money. This includes finding ways to upsell current customers.
