I always remember the quote "the riches are in the niches".
But I don't have a niche!
(not for paid clients at least...)
I'm starting to develop a personal niche though.
2. I like trying a little bit of everything. Food? Real estate? Medical supplies? I can be your person!
3. Saying "yes" can help you build some great professional relationships. I won't say "no" unless I have an ethical issue with the industry.
Give your clients great service and high-quality products, the degree thing isn't an issue.
So if not having a degree or a degree in a particular subject is holding you back from remote work in a certain field, don't let it!
Learn what you need to know by hands-on learning.
If you use Upwork, pay attention.
There is something that people looking for freelancers do, and it drives me crazy!
Here's the situation:
You search for a great position in your niche.
You find a job posting for a Social Media Manager and Content Creator.
Sweet!
Businesses big and small, remember to respect the time of applicants who do more than copy and paste their cover letter.
I've had this application ghosting happen to me at least five times after creating custom content.
Where to find #remotework is like the number one question people have for me.
It's hard to figure out where to start sometimes.
So far, my favorite place to find new clients is @Upwork .
I have found one-time jobs to build my skills as well as long-term clients on Upwork.
@Upwork Other ideas are to:
✔️ Ask family and friends if they know anyone who needs a service
✔️ Get your #LinkedIn profile looking good and up to date, then apply for jobs or make industry connections
✔️ Search for companies in your #remotework niche and see what openings they have
