I sold my time answering questions at Quora. If I can so you can. Way back in August 2016 I was urgently looking for a client to make some money and pay my bills. I often use email marketing to reach to potential customers.
I filtered my email and found an email where client said to get back to me later. I followed up the communication and emailed again asking if there is any work. This time reply came like, yes, can you answer questions over Quora.
Next phone conversation happened. Requirement was to answer questions around copy writing, seo and social media marketing. Next come budget in question. Since this was some consultant who was outsourcing work to me, price was obviously low, but not bad. I got set for Rs. 2500 per month other than weekends. I received 50% upfront.
In freelancing we need to over deliver not only one, two or three times but 10 times more.
I answered 3 to 5 questions daily. And at the end of the month I got a repeat customer to work on other projects. If I can so you can.
This is why i taught my assistant and teams to name files correctly in proper English. When working with National Network of Education I found one major flaw in online file naming, there was no system. I was not getting how those .html files are appearing in random format. Upon checking I found every developer and content creator was naming files randomly. Finding files on local computer was tough and looking file names in database was useless as you will never know what is inside till you open it in a live browser. I instructed team to name files correctly and productivity multiplied. This is back then when SEO of things was rising and we win over SEO by default not by hooks and crooks. Indeed that was one point only when I joined company and in a matter of two to three days I discussed with CEO. Irrespective of which OS you work with tracing file location is difficult, truly difficult. I am a great fan of productivity and love to save on time, that sets my OKRs; OKRs in my work ...
