Freelancers: Is Your Website Working For You?

3
Comments

If you have a website set up for your freelance business, and you think it’s perfect just the way it is, that’s great! You probably don’t need this post, although I would love for you to share your suggestions for other freelancers in the comments.

On the other hand, if you either (a) don’t have a website or (b) you have a website, but it’s not quite right – I’d like to help.

I’ve learned a LOT about creating and managing websites over the past couple of years, and it would be great to share some of that knowledge with my fellow freelancers. In that spirit, I’m planning to do a series of posts for you about how to build a professional website that will get you more clients – with limited time and limited funds.

The thing is, I don’t want to bore you with stuff you already know, and I don’t want to skip ahead to advanced material if you’re still stuck at the beginning.

So I need to know a few things from you:

1. If you don’t have a website, why not? What’s stopping you?

2. What are your biggest questions about creating and/or managing a website for your business?

3. If you already have a website but you’re not happy with it, why not? What would you like to change or improve? Would you like a free review of your website with suggestions for improvement (this would be a public review so you’d have to be ok with that)?

4. What resources do you think you need in order to create or improve your business website?

5. Anything else you’d like to know?

You can provide your answers in the comments, or, if you want to respond privately, click here for my contact information.

Thanks in advance for your responses – I’m really looking forward to answering your questions and helping you build or improve your website!

I’m re-activating my freelance writing business after many years of full-time work. I want a simple web site and a blog and I’m looking forward from learning from your posts!

Hi Susan – thanks for responding! Although you’re the only one (so far) to respond publicly, I’ve received some great feedback from others who e-mailed me directly – and it seems like your goal (a simple website and blog) is pretty representative of what Freelance Parent readers are looking for. With that in mind, my “Build Your Own Freelancing Website” series will start next week. We’ll take it step by step, and hopefully you’ll find it helpful. Please keep in touch and feel free to share your questions, comments & suggestions!

i beleive a free blog can work very effectively for freelancing work if well optimized
