How to get more work?

PaulWilliamDixon

I would like to know the best way to get more work, as the situation here in Brazil is very, very bad, with the national economic crisis (14 million unemployed). I have tried sending e-mails, joining groups, using social media, updating profiles, but no luck.

PaulWilliamDixon Hi, Paul!
Have you targeted specific companies or agencies in specific countries and sectors? If you haven't, you may find that compiling a targeted strategy can help, and if you have, have you tried switching to a different country/sector?

You mustn't think that what you did was useless, it's just that sometimes you have to wait for months, if not years before you can reap the benefits of your efforts.

Do you have a website and do you write a blog? Building yourself a profile as an expert in your niche might help in time and make clients come to you.

PaulWilliamDixon Hi @PaulWilliamDixonl! And welcome to our tiny forum!

Just like @eleonorang mentioned in the previous comment it takes A LOT of time before you'll start seeing some results.

We're lucky however because we have Internet and it's much easier for us to reach potential clients. I know that it is very tough to break through, but it is possible, even when you live in a country with bad economy.

How long you've been freelancing for? Do you work in a specific niche? What's your USP? Why do you think your efforts do not bring any results?
