The truth is that almost every freelancer seeks long-term opportunities that will not only provide them financial stability but can also help online workers organize their entire lives. According to freelancernews.co.uk, these are the 5 main reasons why a freelancer is not getting repeat business.
Freelancers should focus on the quality of their work
Yes, it’s easy to complete a short-term project and to get paid, no matter how good you were in maintaining the client’s tasks. Yet, with long-term opportunities, you shouldn’t focus on getting tasks done only, but also on the quality of your work.
Once the client is satisfied, they will probably come back for more or will think of new ideas to hire you in which the client and the freelancer can together make some extra profit.
Communication and missed deadlines stop online business success
In the first fact, we’ve mentioned that the quality may be the may reason why a freelancer has missed a long-term job opportunity. Yet, even with some extra quality, when communication between the remote worker and the client isn’t on a needed level, everything else fails. Not to mention missed deadlines that can erase all your success in a second. Work on your professionalism.
Freelancers that refuse to edit and revise their work
Let’s explain this in the example. The client is satisfied with your work 90%, yet they ask you for a revision. Not interested? Expecting that they should find someone else to do it? Think about it again – is it worth it to lose a great long-term opportunity just because you’re not in the mood today to change something you’ve done. Usually, edits and revisions won’t take more than an hour.
5th reason why many freelancers miss amazing long-term opportunities is that they expect that the client will offer more work. The truth is that the client doesn’t know if you are available after the project is done, so let them know that they can count on you for other tasks and obligations that may come.
