Weekend Quick Tip: What else do you Offer Clients?
If you are a freelance writer it is safe to say that your main goal is to supply clients with quality content. With that being said, what else do you offer clients? Do you offer anything special that will put you in a better position than the competition? For many, this is a tough question to answer; but it does not have to be.
I feel that my customer service skills are top notch. I strive to offer great service, and most of my clients have thanked me for this at some point in time. This is something that I take great pride in, and over the years it has helped me to earn new business while also building long term relationships.
Of course, you can also offer clients other services in order to make yourself more valuable. For instance, many freelance writers offer to submit online articles to social bookmarking sites or directories. Others will supply images with their content. While I try to stay away from this, there is nothing wrong with offering these services if they will help you to earn more money.
The more that you offer clients the better. You do not have to go so far overboard that you begin to compromise your content. But at the very least you should mix in some intangibles that will give clients an added reason to work with you.
