The first contract I god on a freelancing platform was from a friend’s recommendation who was very successful on the platform. She referred her long term client to me. Getting a second contract was a little easy. Not everyone can be as lucky as I was. So, how do you impress your clients to hire you? My go to strategy is by offering the service for very low rate and offering higher quality service. I've been able to impress my potential clients and secure lucrative opportunities through this strategy.
