Raise your hand if you’ve ever made a video and put it online before.

Really? That’s it?

I expected more, especially since Be A Freelance Blogger just covered the basics of video creation in a recent post.

Look, I’m not trying to make you feel bad. I get it — the prospect of making videos is daunting. I realize they take time, effort, and a whole lot of courage to start creating.

But what if I told you videos could help you attract more freelance blogging clients?

Are you more interested in trying out video now?

Yeah, I thought so. 

As a freelance blogger, it feels so good to know you’ve made a client happy.

You wish you could capture the joy of the client at that moment, frame it, and display for all to see. But it’s sometimes difficult to get recommendations or testimonials from clients, because they’re too busy or too distracted.

In a survey by Dimensional Research, results showed about 90% of customers were influenced by online reviews to make a purchase. People put a lot of trust in feedback given online, hence the need for freelancers to collect glowing testimonials.

Without testimonials, it’s that little bit harder to get the gigs you want at the rate you deserve.

No problem. There are several options you can explore to capture the feelings of your happy clients. 

There’s nothing quite like knowing you’re one-of-a-kind to your freelance blogging clients.

The phrase, “You’re our go-to gal/guy” will send a giddy shiver throughout your body each time you hear it.

But many freelance bloggers won’t hear that even once in their career. High-quality bloggers are a rare species, much like the Karner Blue butterfly I recently befriended.

When I first saw the butterfly, I simply admired it as I watched it flutter in the wind. Even as it landed on me, I didn’t understand the true nature of its beauty.

Then I realized what I was holding. It was a Karner Blue butterfly, an endangered species.

Upon learning this, the encounter shifted from being simply neat to being incredibly significant. I didn’t want to let the little guy fly away.

That’s the kind of experience you want your blogging clients to have. You want them to realize that you’re a rarity — that bloggers like you are hard to find. At that point, they won’t want to let you go.

Check out these ways you can show your true colors and put yourself on your clients’ endangered species list. 

When you find a great potential client for your freelance blogging services, what happens next?

You grab their email address and shoot them your best pitch, right?

But how many times have you excitedly fired off a pitch, only to find out later that you were pitching the wrong prospect? Maybe they don’t have the money to hire you. Maybe they don’t need your services.

If that’s ever happened to you, you’re not alone. It happens a lot, not just to freelancers like you but to big corporations, too.

And the simple reason behind this? Failure to pre-qualify prospects before making an offer.

Unfortunately, not many freelance bloggers take the time to assess and pre-qualify prospective clients before pitching. But here’s the deal: if you do, you’ll get far better results.
