Hi webmasters and digital marketers, I want to start my career as a freelancer in digital marketing and SEO. Currently, I am very active in Upwork, Fiverr and exploring other freelancers websites also. Please give me some useful tips to get the first order. I am also ready to invest something into it because I am looking forward to opening my own digital marketing agency after serval years.

Every suggestion is valuable.
 
Content is always in demand and so are links.

If you are able to provide those, you should be set.

You can outreach to blog owners in a certain niche and create guest posts/niche edit deals with them. Then sell those links. Be a middle man.
 
I suggest you to rank your own website and then you can show that to your clients
Then you can offer them your services
 
Yes

yes I have my own website but I am planning to get a project from local clients from my own website and from freelancing platform I am planning to get some international projects.

Yes I am doing it
 
Good luck on your journey @tarunvij7

Are you looking to serve clients remotely or to also build up a local business to provide services to companies in your local area?

thank you @GlobalNetworks

Yes, actually I generally prefer clients from the USA, UK, and Australia but yes I will also server locally to Indian clients
 
Show it and prove it to your clients, this is the best way to increase your projects
 
Good luck. Have you created a portfolio to show to potential customers?
 
Please give me some useful tips to get the first order.

Build your own brand by blogging, blogging etc. As a freelancer, you need to stand out. You can build a website and show some research, etc, No matter what channel you choose, build your name.

Also, stick with a couple of platforms first (BHW marketplace or a freelancer marketplace) and learn what type of customers you have and what they need. This way, you will get better at improving your market offering.
 
Getting the first order is the hardest. You can ask any of your friends or anyone to purchase any of your services and drop a review as well. That's the most successful way that I have used so far.

Out of interest, are you getting good results on fiverr? I read a article just recently about a guy that raked in $30k in his first year a month selling SEO services on fiverr. Here is the link. https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/freelancer-makes-25k-from-living-room-002449841.html
 
Hey best of luck, I have the same dream but I'm just a beginner haha.
 
For Upwork:

1. You need to read every and job description and submit a bid only if it falls under your skillset, and if you meet the employer's basic requirements. Blind bidding wouldn't work at all.

2. Also, make sure the profile is 100% complete as well as accurate.

3. Don't stop if your free connects are over; purchase more to continue bidding, you will surely get a good job if you will be consistent.

For Fiverr:

1. Once you are done creating the GIG, start promoting it with your network (Linkedin will be more useful).

2. Keep checking for Buyer requests and send your best offer.

3. Fiverr suggests that the seller should use the keywords relevant to the services they are offering in their gig's title, description and tags. It help improves their GIG ranking when buyers search for the services in that field.

Work on this suggestion, and you will gradually start getting results and make sure to be consistent and not to give up.

Fiverr:
1. Create a Gig and mention all the details of the service you are providing.
2. Once published and share it on social media, you may ask one of your friends to purchase and leave a review.
3. Check for buyer requests and send your offer.

Upwork:

1.Complete your profile, add portfolio (if you have)
2. Mention all the skills have in the Digital marketing field.
3. Read the client requirements properly and then submit your proposal accordingly.
 
1) say No to Fiverr
2) focus on Upwork ( if you want to be a successful freelancer )
3) learn how to write a winning project proposal!
