your online portfolio to get clients and projects to start with. It is
advisable to get a reliable internet access, one that runs at least
2MBPs or more to be able to attend to your daily activities on the
internet. A lower speed may prove to be stressful when trying to meet
and beat deadlines as well as when updating online templates and doing

freelancing websites. Thus trusted home phone and internet bundles will
help make your online freelancing career even more feasible.
Here are some of the tips you can follow to start and build a professional career online.
Create an online portfolio
Before
finding clients and trying to land a job online, you need to create an
online portfolio. It can be your Name.com or a blog under a free hosting
platform like Weebly, Blogger, or WordPress to begin with. Include
credentials, training, sample works, and a few details about yourself in
this page. This can be a simple website with a few pages attached where
potential clients can download and read samples of your work. A contact
page is also essential.
Build your connections
You have
most likely met a colleague who also happens to work online. You can
include him as one of your references on your online portfolio. You can
also add your past managers and supervisors as references. Be sure to
inform your colleagues about them being one of your trusted references
online. You can also include testimonials from past clients as well as
their contact information to be able to provide your potential clients a
reliable source of firsthand information about you and your performance
as a professional online freelancer.
It is also important to keep
in touch with your past clients from time to time to be aware of
possible projects that may be available for you to do.
Update your social media accounts
Social
media is also a big factor in building your career and connections
online. LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter are just some of the social
media sites you should have to be able to build credibility and your
authenticity as a real individual working online. LinkedIn is a very
good source of connections as well so you must really take advantage of
the feature it offers. If you would want to keep your Facebook and
Twitter feeds private, it would be advisable to have a separate Twitter
account or a Facebook page for your business or brand. Past clients can
post comments and testimonials in these social media pages as well.
Utilize marketing strategies
Take
advantage of the free marketing strategies on the internet for your
online business and online services. Post feeds on your social media
accounts. Submit guest posts to increase your presence online, write
press releases and publish them on free PR websites. Join forums and
Q&A websites and the likes. The more you expose yourself and your
brand online, the higher are the possibilities of getting clients and
projects.
Advertise your business
As you see your business
grow, you tend to meet competitors along the way. Advertise your
business to create an edge over your competitors. Target your market
well and utilize the right keywords to be able to make your business
more visible and on top of search engines. This may take time but with
the right strategies, you can practically be a preferred choice over
similar professional services if you market your business well.
