It doesn’t matter if you are just starting out as a stay-at-home freelancer, or you are an experienced veteran in the business, here is a useful tip that will definitely help you succeed in this line of work.

In order to make your work easier over time, you need to build your reputation and develop a certain level of authority among your clients, as well as among your peers.

The great way to achieve this is to start building your reputation right from the start by doing a good job and being consistent at it, for only then will you be able to get positive feedback and references from your clients or your superiors.

From References And Referral Notes To Authority

Don’t be embarrassed to ask satisfied clients to serve as references or write brief referral notes describing the awesome work you have done for them. Once you start collecting these, make sure you keep the reference contact information and referrals in a single document and upload it onto the cloud account of your choice, so you can reach the copy 24/7.

You never know when the next big opportunity might strike.

Once you feel that you have reached a certain level of experience and that you have assembled a rich, colorful and successful list of referral notes and references, it is time to start seeing and presenting yourself as an authority figure in your field.

Think about teaching classes and workshops, or starting a blog about your road to success. People will definitely want to read that.
