Adding value to clients' businesses

If you have already started a freelancing business and have steady work going on, you need to keep in touch with clients and make offers to them on a regular basis. This is really important because firstly, it keeps you  busy and in work, and secondly, it really helps out the client.

Think of it like this, clients have limited time and sometimes they forget that there is someone more than adequate to do the job. You need to remind them. If you worked for a client months ago, how about ringing them or dropping them an email and asking if there is anything that you can help them with? You would be surprised the number of times they will say 'ah yes, there is something you could help me with.'

Once you have built yourself a good reputation, clients will offer you more work themselves. My last client was so impressed with my work that he has given me long term work on not one, but THREE of his websites and there is so much work that I have had to pull in help from my assistants. And to think it all started with a simple ebook that I wrote for this client.

Keep busy and keep writing and don't forget to get in touch with your old clients.
