There are people who don't like working under someone else. There are people who want to become their own master/boss. There are people who want to decide their own future with their own way. These people always tend to become a freelancer. Though it is not easy to be a freelancer in practical life, you should have your own guts to stay as a freelancer. There are no certain income or any guarantee of work. You are always under pressure to get work, finish work within given time line, customer satisfaction, post development services, and collect the money and so many other responsibilities on you. You have to deal with circumstances your own way and you never can expect any help from outside. There are certain things that you should consider while you are wishing to be a freelancer and I am going to depict it here. Make your own website excellent People will judge you by your own website. They will try to find best design elements in your own website so whenever you learn new things in design try to incorporate it on your own website. If you are a good designer you might not have satisfaction with your own design and you consistently try to improve it and that is a desirable trait so revamp your website time to time and redesign it frequently. Keep quality portfolio Portfolio is an important thing because you can show your work to the prospective clients. Your clients will try to find out the project relevant to their concept or ideas and if they succeed they immediately will choose you for their dream project. Always try to focus on quality instead of quantity and don't include all work you have done, just include selected projects for portfolio. The best way to showcase your work is to include the live links of your project so your customers can see that how your design looks in practical life. You can give feed back of your previous clients in form of testimonials so testimonials always impress your prospective clients. You can give reference of your previous clients with their address and contact numbers so your prospective clients can ask them directly and assure them. Offline clients There are some clients who can be offline so never depend on only one channel of communication means online contacts but use other channels of advertisements like print media, personal calling, and advertisements on TV or radio if possible. You can grab your yellow pages of your locality and short out some clients who are advertising and try to convince them that online presence is beneficial for their business. This way you will get lots of work from your locality. Learn latest technology If you are freelancer then you should keep yourself updated with latest trends in the market. You should learn latest version of HTML and CSS. You should have mastery in opensource technology, Java, Ajax, Objective C and other mobile technology. You should have knowledge about SEO so you can design SEO friendly websites for your clients. People always follow latest trends in the market and demand website design accordingly. Copyright © 2011
