A lot of people, despite having professional skills, are unable to get freelancing contracts. If you find yourself in this shoe, here are some proven strategies to sell your freelancing gigs or freelancing services.
Offer your gig for free
Fiverr and Upwork are popular freelancing platforms. Technically speaking you cannot offer your gig or service for free as these platforms are designed to earn commission form each sales. However, you can pay from your pockets for people to buy your gigs. The idea is to receive a lot of positive reviews so that you start selling. You can just tell people to order your gig or hire you, and tell them that you will reimburse provided they leave five star reviews.
You can also use Craiglist to offer your free services. The idea is to offer limited services for free and then sell your service. People who were impressed with your free service will buy your paid service.
Run ads
You can advertise your freelancing services. You can either use Google Ads or facebook ads. If you target your ads to the proper demography, you will be able to generate sales. You can also run ads for your gigs on freelancing platforms. You can share your gigs on Facebook or Twitter and then use boost option or promote option to run ads.
