5 Characteristics that Guarantee Your Freelance Success

5 Characteristics that Guarantee Your Freelance Success

Success is something that all of us are chasing. Whether you’re about to open a neighborhood café, or a lawyer arguing in front of the Supreme Court, work and employment is the most satisfying when it leads to success.

But what makes a successful person? How do you become then next Steve Jobs, Sheryl Sandberg, or Barack Obama? While there’s no magic formula that works for everyone, a good place to start is this list of five traits that successful people tend to have courtesy of Inc. Magazine.

Get Good at Execution

Have you ever had a brainstorm at work? If so, chances are you heard a lot of great ideas from everyone in the room—but how many of those ideas were actually actionable? And what people in the room have the skills and smarts to go out an bring these ideas to life? In both cases, the number is probably pretty low. In order to find success, you’ve gotta be great at not only coming up with a great idea, but executing it and making it happen.

Wear That Chip on Your Shoulder With Pride

The phrase “a chip on your shoulder” is usually seen as a negative. After all, who wants to be around someone who is driven solely by something bad that happened to them in their past? It turns out, more people than you think. Inc. Magazine suggests allowing your need “to prove someone or something wrong” to drive you in the workplace. Of course, you’ll want to smile as much as possible, and be kind to your coworkers, but there’s nothing wrong with using an annoying or patronizing comment from your boss or colleague fuel your ambition.

Make Good Decisions

When you were in high school, chances are as you were heading out the door to spend Saturday night with your friends, your mother called out after you, “Make good decisions!” It seemed so obvious at the time—and in many ways, still does—but it’s worth keeping in mind. What you might not know is that making good decisions usually isn’t the result of lots of handwringing and conversing about the right thing do in. It’s usually the result of quick thinking and the moving on—and the moving on is the most important part! Who has time to fret over every little thing? Do the best you can, and move on. The best part of this is that the more you make quick decisions, the better at it you become.

Give, Give, Give

This has nothing to do with giving money or charity or handing out bonuses like they’re candy. Instead, practice becoming a person who gives in every aspect of your life. Give compliments to colleagues, get to know your clients and fellow employees on a personal level, and share you success with others. If you’re seen as a giving person, others will want to give to you as well.

Be Disciplined

This is the one that most people take for granted. We all say we know that success takes a lot of hard work—but do you really know this? Do you live this? Even if you think you do, it’s worth a reminder: success takes lots and lots of hard work, and in order to accomplish that hard work, that means you need to be disciplined. So overcome any tendencies to procrastinate or anything else that is the enemy of discipline, and focus on the end goal.

10 Times Broke College Students Completely Hacked Life With Amazing Results

10 Times Broke College Students Completely Hacked Life With Amazing Results

University was without a doubt the best years of my life, who wouldn’t enjoy a three year piss-up with your mates? Unless of course you’re allergic to alcohol or hate socialising. Despite all the cracking times you have, there are definitely downsides to student living: The sinks that are constantly filled with a tower of dirty dishes, the never-ending mess, and the fact that you are consistently broke.

However, it is in these times of need that some of the best inventions are thought up. Like all these stellar ideas that these students who are hard up for cash ingeniously concocted.

1. Who says you need an oven or a microwave to reheat a pizza?

2. The cheapest simulated shower head you will ever see

3. They wouldn’t pass their MOT but you’ve got to applaud their creativity

4. Pull up a chair

5. Music speakers are so pricey these days

6. Maybe this one has taken things a little toe far

7. One person’s stool is another person’s bin (or trashcan for you Yanks)

8. Who knew can lids where so multifunctional?

9. A* for creativity

10. Saves on the washing up

Despite the bad press that students get for their drunk and disorderly behaviour these images prove that they are also great thinkers. Who knows, maybe the spaghetti kettle will become a thing.

She Pours A Coca Cola In Her Hair And The Outcome Is Actually Unreal

She Pours A Coca Cola In Her Hair

And The Outcome Is Actually Unreal

Over the years I’ve heard women talk about some pretty offbeat beauty tips… Lip balm around the eyes, exfoliating with cat litter, adding red wine to your bath – that sort of jazz. But when I heard this latest one for your hair, even I had to step back and have another look.

I know hair products for you ladies are expensive, but surely there is a better option that dousing your hair in Coca Cola. Yes girls, that is exactly what internet vlogger is suggesting you do to get texture and volume. While media outlets are always trying to tell us how bad Coca Cola is for you, apparently the aren’t aware of its amazing ability to give you the perfect hairstyle.

How To Increase Your Fiverr Gig Sales

How To Increase Your Fiverr Gig Sales

Do you need help to increase Fiverr gig sales and drive more orders? Attracting buyers is not an easy thing and many people make the very basic mistake of “trying to sell”their services. Keep in mind that from the buyer’s perspective you are here on Fiverr to OFFER something. NOT to SELL. I will try to explain what I mean.

When someone is buying something the are looking to GET something of value. They are not buying to simply part their cash. I hope you see where I am going with this.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS CONVINCE YOUR BUYERS THAT:

you provide valuable and quality services
you are a trusted person to buy from
you are reliable and will do what you described in your gig

If you nail the above than you will NEVER need to “SELL”.

I can already hear your next question: But how will I drive relevant traffic to my gigs?

True, if nobody sees your gig, even if it’s the most convincing sales page in the world, you will get zero sales.

MY BEST TIPS FOR GETTING HIGH VOLUME AND LASER TARGETED VISITORS TO YOUR GIG:

Write guest blog posts on microjobs related websites. Or another approach is to pick blogs that related to your niche. For example if your gig is fitness related, go to a fitness blog and get in touch with the author or just simply leave a comment on an article introducing yourself in a polite manner. If they respond you can try to engage offering your services.

You may promote yourself on forums like WarriorForum, BlackhatWorld, Sitepoint and many places where webmaster and digital marketing professionals gather. You will always find great prospects on sites like that.

No need to even mention social media giants: join Fiverr Facebook pages and groups, build a Twitter network and messaging strategy. Connect people on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is less saturated and a fairly untapped sales source. Use these wisely, create a daily routine. Spend 10-20 minutes following people, posting here and there, create connections, making introductions and answering queries. After a couple of weeks of doing it, look back on what you had done, evaluate what worked, which technique actually brought you sales and push forward with your most effective social media activities.

Get the most exposure on Fiverr’s internal search.

No matter which place you choose to promote your Fiverr gigs, my best advice is: Do NOT try to sell hard. Provide advice, join a discussion rather than pushing your gig directly down on people’s throat. If you push, they will push back. Pull your sales in by positioning yourself as an expert. That will always create trust and will drive you more sales opposed to sending sales messages that will most likely be ignored or deleted after 3 seconds.
