Freelance Guide
Meeting your freelancing deadlines
When it comes to meeting deadlines, one way to manage your timetable effectively
is to divide the large jobs and farm them out to several coders.
Let’s say you’ve been awarded a writing job to write an e-book on childcare with
10 chapters for $2,000 over a 45 day period of time. Bid out each chapter
separately among 10 coders and allocate, say, $100 for each chapter over a 25
day period. This way you don’t have to worry about the deadline because you’ve
given yourself a 20-day buffer and you stand to earn $1,000 for your efforts. |

If you are going to handle a project in this manner you must be able to
rewrite the articles you receive in order to make sure the entire book “flows”
seamlessly and that the same style and tone of voice is consistent throughout.
3. Cultivate a strong talent pool
In many cases, this is the most important asset needed when subcontracting work
to others. Here are a few additional tips to help you out in this regard:
a) Know how to hire a good coder
There are four things you should look at when hiring a coder – their resume,
their samples, their rating, and their client testimonials.
The last two are critical because it is easy to prepare a bogus resume and
samples, especially on the internet.
If you look at those four things and feel you have found the person you are
looking for, hire them.
b) Know how to keep them happy
A happy coder always delivers better work than an unhappy one, given the same
skill level. You keep your coders happy by dealing in a polite and professional
manner, paying them on time and understanding them when they fall or falter (and
believe me, they will miss a deadline now and then). Give them respect and they
will give you their best.
4. Nurture your current roster of clients
Here is the main reason why quality counts – it is quality, more than anything
else, that will make your customers come running back to you again and again.
Always put a premium on quality. First-class work is sometimes hard to find,
especially given a limited budget. If you consistently deliver first-class work,
you assure yourself and your coders of a prosperous business well into the
future.
There is a popular saying in sales which says that “It is eight times easier to
get new business from your current clients than it is from cold calls.” In other
words, make sure you ask your clients for referrals from people they know or
work with who may need the service you provide.
Some coders hesitate when it comes to asking for referrals because they feel it
is unprofessional. They feel asking for referrals is like asking for a favor.
That is not really the case. If you have faith in your ability to deliver good
work you are actually helping your client because of your willingness to provide
quality work to their friends or business associates. That will reflect well on
them too. It is a two-way street.
Now that we have looked at three on line venues we are ready to look at
developing eye catching resumes that will help you land some of those great
paying opportunities.
