Hi Rachel, first of all I want to thank you for providing high valuable contents, your videos are very useful for designers like us! Some questions that I would like to ask: 1. What’s the first step of finding clients? Would you recommend upwork and fiverr? 2. How long does it usually take to complete a project? 3. What sort of framework do you normally use for freelance work? Will this depend on the project timeline and budget? E.g. I assume work like user interviews could be costly for some clients and they might be reluctant to spend on that. Thank you and have a great day!

Rachel, you’re an inspiration. I saw your videos since you started. How you spent your time studying UI/UX design and manage to land a job in 3 months. To now, being able to run your own freelance. As a self-taught designer, you inspire me that I can do it too. It is not easy but the results are worth it. I’m working towards my goal of earning a sustainable living from freelancing. I’m having a hard time finding high ticket clients. Do you have any advice on finding clients when you are just starting out? Thank you from a neighbouring designer from Singapore 😊

To be honest, this is the most detailed, easy-to-understand & inspiring video of freelancing that I've watched so far. Thank you so much for your thorough explanation! I am a freelancer myself & have been working in the creative industry for almost 2 years now, but it's been hard for me to move forward as a freelancer (difficulty in finding clients, time management, underpaid projects, etc) although I love doing what I do. It's my goal to make a sustainable living by freelancing & your videos have helped me to understand the freelancing workflow better without selling myself short. It's also nice to know that you're a fellow Malaysian! :)

Also pls suggest some best or ur favourite books to know practical tips on online money making as service providers..

Thank you so much for this video! I noticed you create the client portal in Notion before you have the discovery call, why do that work before they agree to work with you? Also, what are your thoughts on offering paid discovery calls? I've seen others advise this and I think it could help attract clients who are more serious about working with you and help you save time.

@rachelhow
Жыл бұрын
Hello there! I usually (politely) ask for final payment before handover. If the client is not comfortable with it, we would work out a compromise, but usually clients are okay with that. But if I collect the final payment after handover, I would kindly request the client to make a payment within 30 days. Large companies tend to take 2-3 weeks to process payments, so it is expected to delay a bit.
