Tips I picked up as a Flutter Freelancer
My goal is to teach every Flutter freelancer who is early in their journey, what I learned late in mine.
Here are the things I did to get clients consistently:
- I shared my skills publicly
- I took smaller jobs to get referrals
- I took smaller jobs to confirm I can deliver
- I helped customers think through problems
- I gave advice that pushed clients away from me
- I responded to every question about building apps
- I changed from an hourly rate to a fixed monthly cost
- I had calls with potential customers and gave them real advice
- I calculated the minimum I needed to make, not wanting to make
Most importantly, I wanted to help them, even if we were not going to work together.
Some of the customers I sent away sent others my way.
They trusted me and my skills enough to refer me to others.
