Tips to Becoming a Successful Video Freelancer

For this blog post I decided to write about: Tips to Becoming a Successful Video Freelancer. I chose this topic because Video Freelancing is one of the things I do and is passionate about. The things that I will discuss in this blog for becoming a successful video freelancer is: Be prepared, be very detailing in work, and communication. There are other tips that should be followed but I am going to discuss three of the main tips that are considered very important to me.

The first tip to becoming a successful video freelancer is being prepared. Make sure you know everything you are going to discuss when meeting with a client. When meeting with clients for the first time, always make sure you have everything you need meaning, pen and paper to take notes. Clients like it when you are taking a note that shows them that you are listening to what they have to say and you are serious about working.

The second tip to becoming a successful video freelancer is making sure you have detailed work. On your second visit with meeting the client, you should have a detailed shot list, budget, and treatment to show the client. That lets the client know that you are prepared and serious about what you do. Another good thing to do is email the detailed work to the client ahead of time so when you and the client meet again, the client can go over what he/she doesn’t like and needs to be changed.

The third and final tip to becoming a successful video freelancer is communication.  Make sure you constantly stay in communication with your clients about every little thing. Clients like it when you let them know every little detail about their project. Make sure you always let the client know when you are done with a task, because that let them know that everything is still on track.

In conclusion, the three tips to becoming a successful video freelancer that I discussed are be prepared, be very detailing in work, and communication.
