MAKE MONEY ONLINE AS A FREELANCER USING SOCIAL MEDIA

HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE AS A FREELANCER USING SOCIAL MEDIA

One of the best ways to market your freelancing services, is through the social media. Below are some directions on how to go about it.

Blogging

One of the most popular and efficient ways of making money online as a freelancer is through blogs-“by guest posting on big blogs”.

Guest posting on big blogs: This is the mother of all social-media promotion strategies. You want to appear on the most prominent, highly trafficked blogs you can. This puts you in front of millions of viewers and can get you exposure across many social-media platforms...which greatly ups your odds that a prospect might notice you.

If you follow the guidelines, you'd be surprised at the popular blogs you could guest for, even if your own blog is brand new. Any site that posts its guidelines is wide open.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is like no other social-media channel in that it is focused on business, rather than chatting about what happened on The Walking Dead this week or whatever. You can do more proactive marketing of your freelance business here, without pissing people off, than on any other platform.

Twitter

Well, you must be thinking, "It's only 140 characters! How can I possibly write something reasonable here?"

While it's hard to make an elaborate write-up on Twitter, you can discover and get to know editors and marketing managers on here through keyword searches, following relevant industry hashtags, and by starting to build relationships. (If you're looking for editors or journalists you might know who could refer you, try MuckRack.) If something develops, you can always take it further on email or the phone later to land the actual gig.

Facebook

Facebook is extremely social and tough to do business on if you're not a major corporation with a big ad budget...but there are a couple of useful ways to find clients through this platform:

1. Do prospect research: If you have a particular type of business you frequently target as a client, you can use Facebook to search for businesses of that type. Check out their Facebook presence and see if it's looking pro. From there, take a look at their website. Spotting substandard online marketing gives you an easy angle for pitching companies that they need your services.

2. Have your own business page. Most freelancers don't have a Facebook business page -- which means you can stand out by being the only freelancer in town that has one. (For extra marketing boost, offer some authority-building free product full of links to your website to visitors who 'like' your page.)

For instance, I did a quick search for "Freelance graphic designer" on Facebook recently, and discovered the most popular site -- the top result -- has only 3,500 fans. Four of the top sites are based in Third World countries.

Put up a page in this niche and it's going to be pretty easy to start ranking well and getting found on searches inside Facebook. And if you're a freelancer who'd like to manage social media or create Facebook pages for clients, creating your own page is mandatory.

YouTube

YouTube is a great place to put up a visual portfolio or some short how-to videos that might help your prospects.

Build authority with videos: This one's tough for writers, but if you're a visual artist of any kind, YouTube is a great place to put up a visual portfolio or some short how-to videos that might help your prospects. Offer a few business writing or newsletter design tips, with an offer of help if they need it.

Remember, this is the third most-popular site on the Internet. It can pay to have a presence here.
