No one likes to trust a new freelancer, let's face it.
When you first start out as a freelancer, don't count on receiving any sort of incoming traffic.
Particularly valid for a recent freelancer.
Therefore, if the inbound method isn't going to bring in clients for you... How can you help?
There is a proverb that goes, "Contacts equal Contracts."
Utilizing your social network is the best line of action in your particular situation.
When you provide them something they don't feel they need. The next step is to explain how your service can benefit them. Or they might just use you as a favor to them.
By doing this, you'll develop something known as "social proof," and later on, people will start evaluating your service internally.
In essence, you'll get the impression that choosing me won't put you at risk because I've been hired before, I have good ratings of my service, and I've been successful in the past.
For those who are considering hiring you, you are providing a strong incentive. Additionally, it manipulates the algorithm of the freelancing website and moves you to the front page. You'll begin to receive incoming traffic!
