Introduction
The term "freelancing" is used when a person works for themselves or is self-employed, rather than working for any company. While working as a freelancer, you have many advantages like controlling your workload, choosing the clients you work with, and flexibility of the workplace. There are a number of jobs available for veterans as a freelancer. We talked to several experts and found some important things to be considered before you start your freelancing career:

1.Choose a Niche
In the beginning, you might be ready to choose any project without thinking of your specialization. But as you go further in your freelancing career you need to be more specific while selecting your work and clients. Choosing your niche is the most important point to be considered while working as a freelancer because when you become an expert in a specific field then you can charge more for specialized services.

2.What Service You Offer
This is one of the most important things to be considered in the earlier stage of your freelancing career. You should be clear about what you do and what you don’t do. Many small projects opposite your specification sometimes distract you in the beginning so you should be more specific to avoid the delay in your progress. If you are specific about your services then it will be helpful to brand yourself, also to move in one direction to achieve your goals and increase your chances to get more projects from the clients.

3.Identify your Ideal Clients
According to Piyush Jain Founder of Simpalm, If you are a beginner in freelancing, first you should identify your ideal clients. It is the most important process that needs to be considered. You should be clear about your clients with whom you can do the best and efficient work. At first, find small businesses that are ready to work with freshers. After you create your strong profile by working with small businesses, then is the time to jump to big enterprises for the long term to achieve your goals.

4.Build a Professional Website
The best way to promote your service and to build your brand in the market is to have your own professional website. The website contains all your specialized services, a list of your past works, an "about us" page, and contact information so that the client can easily find you. Once your website has been completed then start promoting it to get more clients.

5.Improve your Skills
The best way to get more projects and attract new clients is to develop your skills by working on different challengeable projects because the skills of veterans are valuable for most companies. Freelancing is a competitive market, you must be highly skilled to stand up between your competitors. Because of this, learn new techniques and processes that are trending in the market to attract potential customers. You can join online classes to improve and learn impressive skills that are more in demand.

6.Perfect Pitching
Pitching to your clients is the most important thing to be considered for running a profitable freelance career. You can use a creative or personalized template while proposing your project to the clients. Searching for new clients and simply pitching to them doesn’t work well. First, you must do the deep research on selecting the type of clients according to your work and how much they are profitable to you. If you want to be a successful freelancer you should give more time and effort on researching the clients and determining their needs. Success in freelancing also depends on how you maintain your relationship with clients and work to build a meaningful partnership.

7.Clients Try to Take Advantage
Sometimes clients are taking advantage of you by trying to get more work without paying extra, so you must be ready for how to tackle them and be sure to be paid for extra work. To avoid this, make sure you should have all the things in written documentation such as project requirements, payment details, and proposals. So before any project, you should make a document or proposal which covers all the details about what exactly you will be delivering to the clients.

8.Delay in Payment
Payment delay is the most important point to be considered in freelancing business for which you should be prepared. It is the saddest part for a freelancer, sometimes clients won't pay on time. For this, you can do things like add payment terms on the invoice (30 days standard) and you can also charge interest on late payments. For a large project, you should work on advance payment or create payment stages this reduces the risk of not getting paid.

9.Measure Pricing
How much you charge at the beginning for your services, is the most important factor to be measured. Most of the clients do not pay high rates to the freelancer until they make a good first impression and deliver a high-quality result. If you deliver your project at a given time with great quality you can easily demand high prices for your services.
