I might be a newbie on FL but i dont let employers take me for granted. That Rajat guy contracted me once and refused to create a milestone and even had the guts to tell me that he wouldnt pay me if he didnt like anything i wrote. I told him to beat it! Please dont work for anyone without milestone, even FL adviced against it.

I really didn't want to do this, but then, life is about giving. This reply is for those having issues bidding. It has worked for me on several occasions as a freelancer and in life.

I can sell an egg to a hen and this is the principle behind it.

First, there are 3 questions every seller tries to answer - Why, How, and What.

Research has shown that people buy things based on emotions. The part of the brain linked to purchase decisions is linked to your emotions. What this means is that no matter how perfect your sales pitch is, you may not sell because you haven't reached a clients emotion.

This is worst on freelancer and fiverr (buyers request). There are several hundreds of people bidding.

Back to Why, How, and What. Most sellers go for what and how, and leave the why. You may get tangible results online but it will be difficult selling offline. An example -

Hello freelancers, I want my website content re written to pass CopyScape.

"Hi, I am a writer with several years of experience in a variety of niches. I am very meticulous, creative, and passionate about my job. I will write 100% error-free, SEO, and CopyScape-passed articles,
Hire me."

Notice that while my bid sounds professional, it only states what I do. There is no why (a little why) or how. The truth is that this is what a lot of bids look like. The next option is for the client to choose based on reviews. So let's rewrite our bid.

"Hello, I know what it feels like having CopyScape flag your contents down. I also know how quality content can transform your website and even ranking on Google. I am passionate about writing and this is what makes the difference. I am a meticulous writer with ample years of experience. My clients are my priority and this is why I research in detail before writing my articles.

I look forward to working with you. Kindly contact me for more details."

Notice that I first tried to connect (Why)
Next I said something about research (How)
And finally What.

That is the correct order on how to sell anything to anyone.

I hope this helps... Contributions are welcome. This is not an ultimate guide.

Need help on how to make money as a newbie in freelance com

Godmother:
Yiyee!!! I have just been awarded a project on FL. 8 milestones were set and I'm chatting with the guy. Do I go ahead and request for the milestone.

I read the whole pages of this thread but still dont understand the concept of milestone. A client just set up 4 milestones for me. Do I request a release right now or after the project

ladywriter:


Hi Godmother, Congratulations. Milestone is released after the completion of the project. So, do the work first and then the employer will release it accordingly. I guess the milestone is set in stages, so once you finish the first stage, you can remind him to release the first milestone and so on and so forth.

* Milestone is like "pay before service", but you don't have access to it until you complete the job. The fund is kept in freelancer's account, then when the employer releases it, you see it in your account.

Godmother:


Ok thanx. Im super excited right now and will put my best into this project. Cant wait for the glowing review and payment
