7 Habits of Successful Freelance Web Designers

[Translation] 7 Habits of Successful Freelance Web Designers There seems to have been a similar article written by Mr. Kim in Korea, but since the nature of the web has changed a bit between then and now, I am posting this article as well. (tux sent me a link a while ago, but I translated it badly.) Maybe because I'm working for a company, there seem to be more salaried office workers around me than freelancers. However, the content of this article is also talking about self-management, regardless of whether you are an office worker or not. And these days, even if you work for a company, there are many cases where your personal name becomes famous. Web...

Love what you do

love what you do


To be a successful freelancer, you have to be passionate about what you are doing. This passion will be contagious and affect your clients, give you a chance to succeed and have a strong influence on what you do.





Never stop learning

don't stop studying


Web design is a multidisciplinary art that is as wide as it is deep. New ideas or technologies are discovered every day, and sometimes it's hard to keep pace. The best web designers are constantly curious and always want to keep abreast of the latest trends and technologies.






Specialize

specialize


Having small skills is in more demand than others. But if you are at the top of your field in the use of each language or skill you will always be needed.

Have a definitive portfolio


If you're working inside the web, don't post every project. Showcase only your best products and showcases from your recent few projects. No matter how good the results are, no one will want to see what you made in 2002. People are very visual sensitive. Designers easily demonstrate their potential for success through their portfolios.






Network like crazy

Network like crazy


Casual meetings, user groups and conferences are the best way to make useful connections. At a basic level, people decide to do business together when they have met and feel comfortable. Then, if they need help with a special project, they'll remember you and get in touch. If they know you are looking for a project, they will also recommend you to others.






Manage your time

manage your time


As a freelancer, you need to manage your time well. And keep all the administrative work you need at its best. You need to set some boundaries and manage your work/life balance. This is especially important when working from home. Make sure people know your work and personal time.






Build your reputation

build a reputation


One of the best ways to become a successful freelancer is to become someone you want to work with. That's better than finding a new client. Building a reputation as an expert means that people will be happy to use your services and recommend them to others.
