How To Start a Small Business: Part 2
Introduction
Building on my earlier article, this guide provides additional tips to help you confidently launch your freelance career or small business. If you haven't read Part 1, I recommend starting there first. Let’s dive into the next steps.
4. Master the Art of Self-Promotion
If you're like I was nine years ago?"a bit of a geek?"terms like selling, negotiating, and marketing might feel foreign. However, mastering self-promotion can dramatically increase your earnings. It’s a complex topic, so I’ll expand on it in a future post. Meanwhile, I suggest reading "Scientific Advertising" by Claude Hopkins. This classic book is still relevant today, no matter where you live.
5. Network with Like-Minded Individuals
I wish I had started networking earlier. Connect with freelancers in your niche, get to know them, and offer your help. This approach might lead to small project opportunities and build valuable relationships.
6. Embrace Small Tasks
No job is too small when you're starting out. Whether it's assembling a computer or optimizing its performance, any work is better than none. These tasks often pave the way for bigger opportunities.
7. Think Obvious
While thinking outside the box is valuable, don’t overlook the obvious solutions. If you're a computer expert seeking work, start by helping those with computer issues. Next, approach small businesses reliant on computers. If these leads don’t pan out, leave your card and promise round-the-clock support.
8. Be Frugal
As a new freelancer, minimize expenses. Initially, your main investment is a business card. Avoid unnecessary costs like office space and equipment until you’re more established. By staying frugal and accepting smaller jobs, you can swiftly progress to more significant projects.
Conclusion
Apply these tips diligently, and you’ll be well on your way to succeeding in your freelance or small business endeavors. Keep this list handy to reinforce these key points daily.
