Focus on value, not costs, in freelance marketing sales

Are you a frustrated freelancer? Frustrated because: ☹️You aren’t attracting enough clients 😕You aren’t attracting the right clients 😴You are always busy but aren’t earning as much as you’d like 😩You’ve tried all kinds of marketing but nothing works 😒You have clients you don’t enjoy working with 😞You don’t enjoy a lot of the work you do 😠You are constantly chasing invoices 👻You keep getting ghosted by people 🥹You’re trapped in a feast-and-famine cycle 😮You’re falling out of love with your business All of these are common problems – I experienced a lot of them myself when I first started out. But they can all be solved. It all comes down to your marketing and sales process. It’s likely you’re experiencing these problems because of one or more of the following: 👎Your marketing sucks If you aren’t attracting the right type of enquiries, it’s because your messaging isn’t right. And that’s usually because you aren’t clear about who you help or what problems you solve for them. And if you aren’t attracting the right type of enquiries, you end up with timewasters and tyre kickers. People who want to pump you for free advice or haggle you down on price. 👎Your sales process sucks Maybe you get lots of enquiries but just can’t convert them into sales. You do free calls, free meetings, lengthy proposals, and polite follow-ups. And…nothing. It knocks your confidence, and you start to doubt yourself. But that only makes things worse. You don’t feel confident selling yourself, so prospects don’t feel confident buying. You stop valuing yourself and your skills. 👎Your clients suck What happens when you aren’t getting any enquiries? Or the right type of enquiries? Or you can’t close those deals? Or you stop believing you offer something of value? You make do with whatever you get – take on whatever comes your way, even if it isn’t quite what you want. And you end up with clients who don’t value your expertise. Clients who don’t respect your boundaries. You stop enjoying what you do. You end up in the feast and famine cycle. You feel like you have no control over your business. 😀But there is good news. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can regain control. You can make good money doing the thing you love for people you like. You can fix your marketing and sales process. And I can help you do it. DM me and let me know what you're struggling with most.

How I went from freelancing feast or famine to full-time business earning more than I ever have? Treating this like a real business and prioritizing marketing. For my few years, I was "just a freelancer who responded to Upwork jobs for hours a day." That's what I thought of myself. When I decided I wanted to feel like a "real business owner" and make this thing work long-term, I had to re-evaluate my mindset and actions. Prioritizing marketing has been a huge piece of this puzzle. My main marketing strategies are website and email and both work well together. I recently wrote an article about website marketing, how it works, and how you can use it alongside other strategies :) Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gYaDiN2c

💡 How I Earned a $150 Tip on a $300 Fiverr Order Freelancing isn’t just about completing tasks, it’s about delivering so much value that clients feel compelled to go above and beyond in appreciation. Recently, I completed a $300 order on Fiverr and the client was so satisfied with the results that they added a $150 tip on top! 🙌 So, how do you turn a regular project into an exceptional client experience? ✅ Overdeliver – Don’t just meet expectations, exceed them. Add small but meaningful touches that solve client pain points. ✅ Communicate Clearly – Keep clients updated, explain your process, and make collaboration effortless. ✅ Be Proactive – Anticipate problems before they happen and offer solutions upfront. ✅ Focus on Results – At the end of the day, clients value outcomes more than effort. This experience reinforced a simple truth: when you treat every project like it’s worth more than the price tag, clients notice. And they reward you for it. #Fiverr #Freelancing #ClientSuccess #5StarReview #DigitalMarketing #GoogleAds #Ecommerce #FreelancerTips

Are you a freelancer or agency owner struggling with clients? See, clients don’t leave because of your skills. They leave because of unclear communication and confusion around money. Agar, client ko agar sambhal ke rakhna hai, toh just remember two things : 1. Contract & 2. Invoice That’s it. And your contract should always cover 3 simple points : 1. Scope of work :- What exactly you’ll do, and what you won’t. 2. Timeline :- When the work will be delivered, clear and agreed. And no last minute surprises. 3. Payment terms & conditions :- How and when you’ll be paid. So you don’t have to keep reminding or running after it later And invoice? That’s not just a bill. It’s proof that you run things professionally. The more transparent or clear you are, the easier it is for both you and your client. No confusion. No false expectations. No trust issues. If you want clients to stay with you, it’s not just about doing great work, it’s about being clear, putting things in writing, and sending it over mail. So, this is my Day 19 of my 30 day LinkedIn posting challenge. Sharing the raw lessons that helped me build my agency. (And over the next month, I’ll be talking about freelancing, clients, getting leads, growth, and building skills.)

My #1 tip for freelancers and small agencies For making more money while keeping your sanity "Stop trying to sell people who don't have money" Why are you grinding 60 hours a week for $3k/month while others work 20 hours for $10k?" 👇 It's easier to reach and maintain $10k+ per month with 2 clients instead of signing 10 clients. You will have a better quality Better margins Better clients But you will most likely fail to do this, because you are afraid to charge higher prices What is holding you back is: you are great at your craft, but you are horrible at marketing and positioning yourself. At the end of the day, you might be better at what you do, but I will still make more money because I know how to do better marketing for myself. Running an agency or freelancing is not all about the skill you are selling; it's also about learning how to position and market yourself.

How I got my first client as a freelancer Freelancing was never easy. In the beginning, I sent hundreds of messages, but most clients didn’t even know what they wanted. Every Zoom call felt like a guessing game they’d say, “I need marketing,” but had no clarity on what results they actually needed. So instead of trying to “sell,” I flipped the script. I started telling them what they could expect — realistic outcomes, timelines, and even things I don’t do. That single change built trust faster than any pitch ever could. 👉 And that’s how I got my first client. Not by being perfect. But by being clear, confident, and honest about what I bring to the table. If you’re struggling to land your first client — stop trying to impress everyone. Start helping them understand what they actually need. #FreelancingJourney #SocialSanstha #PersonalBrand #Marketing

Why Most Freelancers Struggle to Deliver ROI — and How to Fix It 🚀 Many freelancers focus on running ads, but not enough on understanding business outcomes. That’s why clients often say: “We got clicks… but no real results.” The truth? ROI isn’t just about ad spend and CTRs — it’s about strategy, tracking, and optimization. Here’s what I’ve learned from years of running Meta Ads campaigns 👇 ✅ 1. Start with the business goal, not the ad goal. Don’t just ask “What’s the budget?” Ask “What does success look like for you?” — more leads, more sales, higher retention? ✅ 2. Fix your tracking first. No pixel or CAPI = no clarity. You can’t optimize what you can’t measure. ✅ 3. Focus on the journey, not just the click. A great ad grabs attention. A great funnel converts it into action. ✅ 4. Communicate ROI in client language. Instead of “CTR improved by 2%,” say “Your cost per lead dropped by 20%.” When you shift from “running ads” to “driving business results,” you stop being just another freelancer — you become a performance partner. 💡

Which is superior: marketing your service or closing clients? It’s a question freelancers often debate. Some say marketing is everything. Others argue that closing is the real skill that pays. Here’s the truth: They are not the same. And neither works without the other. Let’s break it down. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 is about visibility. It’s how you let people know you exist. It’s how you show your skills, your expertise, and the problems you can solve. Without marketing, nobody knows you. And if nobody knows you, there’s nobody to close. But here’s the catch: 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 is about conversion. It’s the moment when interest turns into a signed contract. You can have the best marketing in the world, but if you can’t close, all that attention goes to waste. So which is superior? It depends on where you’re stuck. * If you’re struggling to get leads, focus on marketing. Create content. Show your work. Build trust before people even reach out. * If you’re getting leads but not signing clients, focus on closing. Learn how to handle objections, communicate value, and guide clients to a 'yes'. Think of it like this: Marketing fills the room with people. Closing makes sure you don’t leave the room empty-handed. The real power lies in mastering both. That’s when freelancing stops being a struggle and starts feeling like a business. 👉 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧: Which skill has made the biggest difference for you — marketing your service or closing clients?

💼 Freelancing is not just about getting clients — it’s about building relationships. When you start as a freelancer, the focus is often on landing the next project. But over time, you realize that real success comes from repeat clients — those who trust your work and recommend you to others. 🙌 Here’s what I’ve learned: ✅ Communicate clearly. ✅ Deliver more than promised. ✅ Keep improving your skills. That’s how you turn one-time clients into long-term partners. 💪 Every message, every campaign, every project — is a chance to prove your commitment. Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep building connections. 🌱 #Freelancing #DigitalMarketing #EmailMarketing #LeadGeneration #GoHighLevel #BusinessGrowth #ClientSuccess #EntrepreneurMindset
