Alright.
So you know what service to offer.
You've already honed your skills.
The next question is...
"How do you choose your first client?"
Have you ever thought of defining your ideal client?
Here's the thing.
Identifying who this is from the beginning will save you tons of time going in circles trying to be all things to all people.
It really is a game-changer.
If you're just starting out, you can probably get started by exploring the types of clients you don’t want to work with.
Yup, you read it right.
Until you know who you don’t want to work with, who you must work with, who you choose to work with, it’s easy to take work and clients that drag you away from the work you deserve to be doing.
Who can you deliver the greatest value to, who do you enjoy working with, and who needs what you do most?
Write a detailed description of your ideal client and include as much about them as possible including the problems they are trying to solve.
Make sense?

'malay mo'... lage ko sinasabi sa dati kong client. Today's topic is very helpful. Thank you.
I need a reason. I deserve an acceptable explanation #charot

Well said Ms Honey. Those were my lines.
I did! 🙂
Is it ok po ba na magkaroon ng contract na ako ang gumawq?
Mostly, Direct Clients yan.
master level yung pakikipagbreak
HAHAHAHA! May pinariringgan ka ba?
Clap clap clap Ms H
so habang nakacommit sa contract pwde i-end if you need to?
I think yung isang magandang hina-highlight sa mga VAB students or graduates na given all the training they underwent, there is already value added and should not settle for nothing less (USD5 as a start).
What is the acceptable rate or pay/hour for transcription job.
Pede po ba mag end ng contract anytime?
tama k poh miss mitch kung sino pa ang maraming angal yun pa ung kuripot
Hello po. For newbies, what is the ideal rate and what kind of tasks din.
5 USD ang ideal rate pero kung gusto taasan ng Client, go for it na.
Watching from ZAMBOANGA Sibugay
Hm po ba rate ng VA newbie? At un reasonable rate para sa may experience na, tipong magging 2nd job sya if hired.
5 USD pero hour as a starting rate pwede na.
Ivann de Peralta may diff ba sa part/ full time rate? Or fixed na sa hrly rate? Isip ko mas mura na rate once ngfull time may intrvw kc ko na ganun ang gusto.
Clap clap to Ms Gel
saka much better if you closure, with your client
correct coach Anna. I agree.
Yes yes <3 Thank you coaches 🙂
thanks Ms. Anna 🙂
Kasi baka mamya niyan, tanggap ng tanggap ng work, tas hindi m
na kaya ung workload, masa-sacrifice ung quality. Ma under-deliver ing service quality
Is it hard to find a client? Because I heard there's a lot of competition sa upwork, online job. ph
Yes, best to get replacement if there is intention to leave. Tama si Mitch.
And yes, si Gel din.
No ghosting, if ever, kahit uso
wag kayong magtiis sa buraot, hindi ito teleserye
Don't ever burn bridges.
Right!
Nagtatanong po ba ang mga client if may iba ka pang client bukod sa kanila?
Soo big help
Hahaha, re Phoenix, yes, if the client is from hell, just leave them with due courtesy - just make sure to be paid for work done prior to getting closure.
Mismo. Para maganda ang ending niyo.
As far as contracts are concerned, know and be familiarized with the terms and conditions.
Mahirap talga humanap ng client lalo na ang client mostly ang hanap my experience na. Pero meron din naman na nag hanap ng wla pang experience.
Mas naging mahigpit kasi sila ngayon.
Swerte nga lang kung gustong gusto niya ikaw.
Read the fine print
Yes yes. Kailangan maging handa. Hindi pwedeng sumabak sa digmaan nang walang dalang sandata 🙂 Thank you ulit coaches sa pagtulong sa amin kung paano maging handa 🙂 <3

Yung first client ko po real state broker. We had a 3 months initial trial with $500.as social media manager.with facebook lang. Pero he made a nextdoor acct sabi niya concenrate here. My instruction paasiyang iba. But after 2 weeks.nawala bigla. Personal na matter. At nahiya na siya. Is He good or bad client?
Ngek. Nang-iindyan.
Very insightful. Thank you Coaches!
love it, Ms.honey ..here in corporate they treat is family, kaya lang pag may toyo worst.....same din kaya in freelance
Yes, work "with" them - as freelancers, we are entrepreneurs, we bring value to clients by providing the services or outputs that they need, it is a matter of two entrepreneurs meeting - the freelancer and client - there is value exchanged in the process - value for value.
Very true, Ms Gel
