The first step into becoming a freelancer on Bixex is to have a well-optimized account. However, while opening your account, except you want to register your freelance service as a business, you should choose the job seeker option. This way, the algorithm of the platform can easily position you to be seen by companies and individuals willing to work with you. However, if you want to give your skill or service a touch of professionalism, you can register it as a business. Beyond this, below are four tips to stand out as a freelancer on Bixex.
Choose the best option for your service
Beyond opening an account on Bixex, you have to create a gig in the marketplace. During the process, ensure you choose the level that best defines you. If you have no experience, choose the entry-level, if you have an average level of experience, choose the intermediate while if you are a pro in your field, choose the expert. Although your option determines the amount you will charge, do not be tempted to choose an option beyond your level of experience. To progress in your freelance business, honesty is key.
Be very selective
One of the things that have made many freelancers continually lose clients is thinking they can handle all the jobs at once. While it is good to always challenge yourself to do better in your chosen niche and also take as many clients as possible so as to keep yourselves busy, it is not advisable to go for every job that comes your way. Be selective of the jobs you take, go for jobs you can do, and ignore the ones you can’t handle.
Engage and post consistently
Bixex is not a miracle center and no platform can even boast to be one. If you want any platform to work for you, you have to work for it. The best way to do this is to constantly post and engage with other people’s posts. By doing this, you give yourself the chance to be noticed by not just people who might need your service but also those who might likely refer you.
Personalize every application on the platform.
Irrespective of the number of clients reaching out to you at once, do not be tempted to send the same message to every one of them. Clients have a way of detecting copy and paste messages. Ensure you reply to every message uniquely. If you have an individualist approach, this enhances your chance of being given the job.
If you are a freelancer on Bixex and have not been getting jobs, keep being consistent and engage in both community and other people’s posts. The more you do this, the more you grow. In no time, you would start getting gigs.Â
