Tips to become successful traveling website designer
What does it really take to become a successful traveling website designer and live your dream lifestyle is what you will learn in this episode. Here are a few tips and quick takeaways you can start doing right away:
1. Learn how to manage your time – this means understanding your workload, taking days off to recharge and constantly being aware of when to push it and relax.
2. Be a good listener – develop the skills to listen and understand your clients’ needs and how your unique skills can help them get there.
3. Be a good communicator – this means that you are professional, likable and know how to interact with your prospects, clients and people you work with joy.
4. Actively find clients – finding clients can be challenging and what you need to do is to tell everyone what you are doing and share it across different platforms.
5. Find your tribe – connect with other freelancers across different industries to expand your network and perhaps even find more clients
6. Build an accounting system – you are a creative and not an accountant for a reason. But as a freelancer taking care of your finances is part of the job too. Make sure you create a system for yourself and set aside money for taxes.
