So you’re a skilled ( Starting Own Business ) developer or design freelancer who has established a handful of customers who pay your bills and provide you with an income. That’s great. You may wish to keep things just the way they are or you might want to build on this and build up your own small business. If you’re opting for the later then here are a few tips to help you ride the bumpy road from freelancer to fully-fledged small business.
1) Move Out of Your Back Bedroom
If you are moving from freelancing to running a company then you need to show your potential customers that you are 100 per cent committed to the business, thus allaying their fears that you won’t be around in a few months time. If you can, move from your home workspace to a dedicated office. This doesn’t necessarily mean huge expense but it can instill a great deal of confidence in you from potential clients. Depending on where you are, office space can cost from as little as £130/month ($190) and should also help with your work-life balance. An additional benefit is that it will give you a postal address that you can publish on your stationery and website without revealing your home location.
2) Dress for Business
Now that you’re running a business (for better or worse) you will need to take a look at your appearance. Many may disagree, but personally I think nothing says business more than smart dress. Of course, it’s up to you how you dress but think about it this way. If you want the conversation to centre around your professional skills, don’t wear anything that will steal the conversation away from this. A T-shirt with a witty slogan on it may be just the thing for a night out with your mates, but a lunch with a potential client? Maybe not. Why do anything to stack the odds against your company winning the project?
I am happy to accept that this is a controversial subject and would be very interested to hear your thoughts about this. What works for you? Do customers react to you differently when you are wearing smart dress as opposed to casual?
3) Centralize your Data
When you are a freelancer working on your own it’s fine to store information about your work processes in your own head, or contact e-mail addresses in your personal AddressBook. But the moment someone else is involved in your business then this isn’t good enough anymore. You may start to find that you spend a lot of time imparting knowledge to others. You will need to move that knowledge somewhere where it can be easily shared. For example, Highrise (www.highrisehq.com) is great for keeping a database of your customers and tracking conversations/activity with them.
As much non-skill related information should be documented as possible, this will assist you in building business processes to ease any future expansion that you may have planned. You should encourage others working with you to do the same and attempt to cultivate a culture of ‘centralised knowledge.’
4) Be the Person Your Customers Like
Building good relationships is key to running a successful business. There are thousands of web development/design studios in the country and there’s nothing to stop your customers moving to your competition if they feel they are not getting value from you. People rarely choose based entirely on price. They buy from people they like and whom they think will support them in the best way. It’s this support that will win you a customer for life (even if your services are more expensive than your competitor’s). As a general rule you should try the following:
5) Reply to Emails Promptly.
Even if you cannot compile a meaningful response/resolution immediately then acknowledging the message with a reply will let the customer know that you are on the case.
6) Always Return Voicemail Messages.
This is really important. If a customer knows that based on your history that you always call them back after leaving a voicemail then they will not feel the need to keep calling you or bombarding you with email. This can help alleviate stress in busy periods when you deem answering the telephone of secondary importance.
7) Maintain a Verbal/Email Relationship.
You should contact the customer on a regular basis (every 3 months if the job is over) to inquire how things are going. This will help to make the customer feel important and that you are still interested in their business even though the project is finished. It will also help to keep you in their mind for future projects. Try to avoid a sales push with every contact else this goodwill will be broken and they will dread your calls.
8) Express Interest in your Client’s Business Sector.
Keeping up with trends in your customer’s industry can be invaluable in generating recurring revenue from existing streams. Tracking changes in their business will allow you to suggest improvements or additions to their application or website. This can be as simple as following their RSS feed and needn’t take up much of your time.
9) Welcome Customer Complaints.
Complaints are great! Complaints allow you to fine-tune your business so that future customers don’t suffer from the same irritations. You must handle every complaint about your business seriously and be prepared to make good on any deal that a customer doesn’t feel you’ve delivered on.
10) Don’t be Afraid to Pass
Many people believe that you should never turn down work. I disagree. If a potential customer is looking for services that you know in, your heart, are not your speciality then don’t be afraid to pass the work on to another trusted freelancer or business. Although not earning you revenue immediately it will benefit you in two ways:
Firstly, you will earn the customer’s respect for passing them on to a
3rd party. This will show them that you are looking after their needs rather than taking the money and delivering a poor job. You will be surprised how quickly you become a ‘trusted advisor’. And Always send a follow-up email to the customer a few weeks into the project inquiring about how things are progressing with the 3rd party and ask them to keep in touch.
Secondly, forging strong relationships with other companies and freelancers can pay dividends in the long run. Approaching a 3rd party with a business lead will buy you a great deal of goodwill and allow you to introduce yourself and services to that person with a view to working together in the future. Networking is the way that you might get your next big job.
11) Work on your Sales Technique
Working on improving your sales technique with prospective clients should be something that continually evolves throughout your career. There are no strict rules for selling; you just need to be better than your competition! You can be the best programmer in the world but unless your potential customer likes you and is confident that you can do a great job then your skills and experience will count for zero. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
12) Build ’stock’ proposals.
Especially, for common projects such as content management and ecommerce. This will save you time when pitching for a job and allow you to reply to an enquiry within a day or two of your meeting with them. The longer it is left silent between you and the customer the smaller your chance of winning the project.
13) Always be On Time.
But be aware that arriving early can be as disruptive as arriving late.
14) Learn About Personality Types.
Learn how to spot them and how to deal with different people and groups.
15) Use a Notepad to Take Notes.
If a customer sees you taking notes then they are much more likely to tell you more information about what they need.

How To Authorize Banknote Breeze If Starting A New Business
Starting A New Business If you accept not done so already, amuse apprehend the aboriginal allotment of this two allotment commodity alternation on business outsourcing actuality - If Is The Appropriate Time To Activate Outsourcing?.
In the antecedent commodity I discussed the accent of compassionate your activity for outsourcing and how it is important that you appreciate the arrangement of tasks to complete, starting with the activity that serves to annihilate the actual constraint.
Despite accuracy about what and if to outsource, it all agency little if you don’t accept the banknote to do so.
Money Required
The one above botheration that faces new start-up businesses, abnormally small enterprises launched by aba
ndoned entrepreneurs, is a abridgement of banknote flow. This botheration is broader than just your business as the charge for money impacts breadth you reside and how you reside as well. How you pay the rent, pay for aliment and reside an agreeable activity is dictated by how abundant money you accept and if your business is advised to be your assets source, until it produces banknote you’re in trouble.
As a catch-22 situation, abounding entrepreneurs accept to yield jobs to accomplish “living” money, which acutely reduces the bulk of time accessible to plan on the business. How can you about-face your new start-up into an assets beck if you are too active alive a job to pay the bills that you can never plan on your business?
Unfortunately there is no simple acknowledgment to this catechism and every getting faces a altered situation. I don’t accept a one-solution-fits-all angle for you, but what I can do is explain how I fabricated money during the times if my business was not able to abutment me.
Working A Job
This blog afresh hit it’s four year anniversary. That agency that a lot of of you annual this are apparently not accustomed with the aboriginal years of my autograph here, breadth I was actually chronicling the advance and changes to my business, which were a lot added activating aback then.
The acumen why the changes were added cogent during the aboriginal stages of my business was absolutely because I didn’t accept abundant banknote flow. If you are not authoritative abiding money you are added absorbed to try new things, jumping from befalling to opportunity.
My activities from the backward nineties appropriate up to about 2005 were all over the place, about there were a few constants because even admitting I was arena with online business ideas, I bare at atomic a semi-reliable assets beck to reside off.
It was my third year of university and although I was still active at home, so my costs were limited, I basic a job. I activate out my campus library had these amazingly able-bodied paying computer advice board jobs ($18 an hour was big time for me aback then), and I eventually landed a allotment time job there.
That allotment time job at the advice board would become an assets beck I relied aloft for abounding years. Although I larboard the job to travel, I came aback to it and acclimated it as the foundation for affective out of my ancestors home and renting for the aboriginal time. I aswell relied on the assets from that job to pay for the actual aboriginal requirements an Internet administrator has - a affiliation to the Internet and a abode to host your website.
Say No To Abounding Time Work
I generally say with pride that I never had a abounding time job - and I didn’t - but that’s not because I never had the opportunity. There were affluence of affairs aural the university to advancement my accidental and allotment time jobs into abounding time roles.
Upon graduation I watched a lot of of my accompany move on to lucrative, full-time salaried positions in big firms, as I connected to reside off my 10 to 25 hours per anniversary of accidental work. I didn’t accept amazing grades, but I was absolutely in a position to go through the alum appliance action and seek a job because I had my bulk - the section of cardboard that opens doors to “real world” occupations.
The affidavit I never took a abounding time job were many, but the key point was that I knew I basic to run my own business and be my own boss, I just wasn’t abiding how that would plan out. In adjustment to bulk it out you charge time, so I was agreeable to accumulate accidental plan while I ample what business would be my admission to independence.
I was prepared, even if I struggled with it emotionally abounding times because I accept a awful addiction of comparing myself to my peers, to alone plan a job for as abounding hours as I bare to and say no to any added plan that ability arrest my affairs of starting a new business acknowledged business.
You ability accept a family, or commitments that appeal added than 15 hours a anniversary of accidental activity income, but I apprehend you apparently can abbreviate in some appearance or form, or acquisition means to get added plan done in beneath time (working your job from home for a few canicule for example). Maybe plan four canicule instead of 5 or starting a new business plan beforehand so you can accomplishment beforehand and accept the backward afternoons and evenings to plan on your business.
Whatever is the case, you charge to acquisition a antithesis amid authoritative a active from a job that is just abundant to accumulate you going, abrogation the blow of the time accessible to body your business or, as was my case, agreement with business annual until something worked.
Create A Banknote Cow
Although it was never abundant to reside off, I did authorize a cash-cow assets antecedent online, my actual aboriginal acknowledged project. I’ve talked about it a lot on this blog before, so I won’t go into too abundant detail, but the assets antecedent was a association website alleged MTGParadise.com, a website committed to the clash arena arena in Australia of the Magic: The Gathering agenda game.
This site, started as a amusement that acted actual abundant as my acquirements apparatus for how to actualize websites, afterwards several years emerged as a ascendant website in its niche. Eventually, acknowledgment to a advancing appointment association who traded cars and a reliable core of advance writers, the website developed a abiding audience. I afresh activated the amnion alluring sponsors and even started an email newsletter - my aboriginal “list”.
I fabricated anywhere from $300 to $1,000 a ages from the site, but the assets fluctuated dramatically. Even afterwards starting a small retail abundance affairs cards from the website, the assets never accomplished a point breadth I knew anniversary ages I would accomplish a assertive amount, and afterwards I got hit with acclaim agenda artifice wiping out all the money I had fabricated online and all my savings, I accomplished I would charge my allotment time job for a lot best (I about fabricated the accommodation to yield a abounding time job afterwards the acclaim agenda artifice incident, but upped my accidental hours instead).
Selling Online Assets
After convalescent from the acclaim agenda artifice I went on to starting added business projects and eventually started BetterEdit.com, the alteration and proofreading annual that I accede my aboriginal absolute acknowledged business. About continued afore BetterEdit became a banknote breeze antecedent abiding abundant to reside off it had to go through a advance stage.
BetterEdit, abundant like MTGParadise was not a abiding assets antecedent for a continued time. Some months were amazing, applique several thousand dollars, but afresh during summer if no acceptance appropriate alteration casework the assets could bead to next to nothing. I was still abased on my allotment time job, even admitting the money I had advancing from my web projects was increasing.
It was one day while communicable a alternation to the city-limits that I had the abstraction of affairs MTGParadise.com. Although the auction did not action to abounding months later, I absolved abroad with $13,500, which was about how abundant I was earning per year at the time from my allotment time job. You can apprehend added about this time and affairs my aboriginal website in allotment four of my business timeline.
Although I absent my reliable banknote cow assets source, I did accretion abundant money to reside off for a year, bold I didn’t change affairs habits. This gave me a little aegis and aswell accomplished me what was accessible affairs website assets, which would become something I did on a approved base over the next few years.
Government Grants
I did yield advantage of a government adjourned abutment annual for small businesses, which I apparent was accessible acknowledgment to a tip off from my father’s acquaintance who was on the scheme. This is not something I wish to accent as key for success as you may not accept something agnate in your breadth and in actuality what I accustomed in abutment in Australia several years ago is badly altered today - and no agnosticism abundant harder to get.
The affairs I benefited from is alleged the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme, and afterwards commutual an appliance action that included autograph a business plan and accessory a console interview, I able for a abounding 12 month’s annual of assets support
This assets - about $200 a anniversary if I accustomed it - was absolutely accessible and became addition dependable assets stream, although with the ability it would end in 12 months you don’t wish to accomplish decisions based on the money advancing forever. The abstraction is to use the breath allowance the money provides to abound your business so it can alter that income, and afresh some, aural the 12 months.
I didn’t accomplish any affecting changes as a aftereffect of condoning for the support, but accumulated with my allotment time job and growing online income, my banknote breeze was good.
Fewer Projects and Added Focus
At this date I apparently should accept amorphous some outsourcing, at the actual atomic accept anyone abroad handle website conception and aliment for me, but I didn’t. I was, and still am in abounding ways, absorbed to extenuative money and adopted to plan harder and watch my coffer antithesis inch up slowly, rather than plan smarter and get advantage from the money I had by application it to appoint help.
What did starting to appear was a absorption of my business focus. By this point with my abracadabra association gone and BetterEdit acceptable reliable (the assets was stabilizing at atomic an boilerplate of $2,000 a month), I didn’t charge my allotment time job anymore. I was aswell starting to butt how humans fabricated money online and acquainted I had a approaching in Internet business.
Eventually I would abandon abounding projects, including an offline English school, association websites focused on trading items and amusing activism, I would frequently starting pay per bang business projects afterwards getting absorbed by new advice products, but would anon afterwards accord up and focus aback afresh on BetterEdit.
A continued adventure short, this focus meant my banknote breeze became added stable, my business grew and I started advance money in assets that didn’t yield abundant time - I purchased new cash-cow assets antecedent websites.
Finally Advice Arrives
Better backward than never, I assuredly recruited help. I was still afflictive with the abstraction afterwards accomplishing the numbers, but I saw that I had the banknote breeze to pay humans and at atomic awning my basics, even if my business chock-full growing, which I did not apprehend to appear as I had no intentions of endlessly to bazaar it.
I assassin a chump abutment person, I began relying on contractors for website design, accession and maintenance, had added humans adapt and actualize my sales copy, and assassin a administrator of my website investment portfolio.
This did not appear all at already of course, but with anniversary architect I brought on, although I took a hit in my accumulation allowance to pay the fees, my business advance skyrocketed because I was able to get added done of what I was acceptable at.
Cash breeze was acute at every date of this action as I acclimated the money the business was authoritative to appoint humans to either yield a job abroad from me or complete a acute basic of a new project. This in about-face led to injections of new banknote breeze sources, and although you are never adequate with the action due the variables complex (managing humans in particular), with convenance you starting to acquaintance the allowances and become adequate with spending money to accomplish money.
What Does This Mean For You?
My adventure illustrates that it is far from beeline advanced to abound a business and authorize your aboriginal assets streams so you can activate reinvesting banknote into outsourcing. A lot of of my projects absent money or fabricated no money and took a lot of my time. The small scattering that did work, paved the way for the bearings I am in today, authoritative several hundred thousand dollars a year online.
I relied aloft bamboozlement assorted small sources of assets until something showed it had abundant of an upside abeyant that I could boring starting affairs off or abandonment added projects to focus on just the one or two enterprises that worked.
During the actual aboriginal canicule the ammunition to grew my business and sustain my activity was a allotment time job, which eventually became accidental as basic injections from affairs assets and continued appellation accumulation meant I could handle the abeyant acknowledgment to any abatement in business banknote flow.
In short, because I was accommodating to plan a lot and save whatever I could acknowledgment to adamant backbone (not recommended), I eventually got there.
This is not the aisle I acclaim you archetype exactly, but there are some actual able acquaint to be abstruse from my story, in accurate -
* Basic is a able thing, again. Abounding humans are sitting on assets appropriate now and until you see them as something you can sell, you don’t apprehend you accept a antecedent of beginning capital. My aboriginal website auction was not a concerted accomplishment at architecture something I would afterwards cast for banknote and for years I looked at it as a amusement that fabricated a few hundred dollars a month. Afresh one day it dawned on me that something that makes money can be sold, and a few months afterwards I had fabricated as abundant money as I usually fabricated in a year from a job in one big bang of cash.
Do you accept any websites or assets you could sell?
What you wish of advance is a absolute business with absolute calibration and big profits, but not every activity is traveling to get there. If something is authoritative money but it’s not the big dream you wish to follow, let the website backpack you advanced and actualize some freedoms and use that time to plan on the next activity (or of advance advertise it - see the antecedent point).
As I declared earlier, there is no one admeasurement fits all band-aid to the botheration of banknote flow. I’ve abstraction and accomplished abundant in the business apple to apperceive that no amount what industry you are in, banknote breeze is consistently traveling to be analytical to aggregate you do - and that’s the case from day one.
Outsourcing becomes an advantage already banknote breeze alcove a point breadth it can awning the amount of outsourcing after creating a analytical arrears in your activity (e.g. can’t pay rent) or business (e.g. can’t pay for Internet access). The blow of your business activity will absorb application banknote to reinvest in added humans in adjustment to actualize added cash, and so on, until one day you advertise your business or you retire and let added humans run it for you.
In the antecedent commodity I discussed the accent of compassionate your activity for outsourcing and how it is important that you appreciate the arrangement of tasks to complete, starting with the activity that serves to annihilate the actual constraint.
Despite accuracy about what and if to outsource, it all agency little if you don’t accept the banknote to do so.

This is not the aisle I acclaim you archetype exactly, but there are some actual able acquaint to be abstruse from my story, in accurate -
- If the bearings requires adherence of assets and you accept no money and no humans to abutment you, a job is the answer. The accident is axis that job into a career or worse - a allurement - if you should appearance it alone as a acting banknote breeze source, a dispatch stone, to advice ammunition your business advance or accord you the adherence to analysis business annual if you don’t accept one yet.
- Basic is a able thing. Affairs websites to body basic is one of the best means to pave the way for a acknowledged business because the banknote can accord you breath room, even if it is not consistent. The abundant affair about website investment is you don’t accept to necessarily accomplish yourself to the industry that the websites you buy accomplish in. You can artlessly appearance them as investments, which you adviser and maintain, abuse were all-important and afresh advertise if the time is right. You don’t charge affectionate ability about the niche, you just charge to apperceive how websites plan or appoint anyone who does.
* Basic is a able thing, again. Abounding humans are sitting on assets appropriate now and until you see them as something you can sell, you don’t apprehend you accept a antecedent of beginning capital. My aboriginal website auction was not a concerted accomplishment at architecture something I would afterwards cast for banknote and for years I looked at it as a amusement that fabricated a few hundred dollars a month. Afresh one day it dawned on me that something that makes money can be sold, and a few months afterwards I had fabricated as abundant money as I usually fabricated in a year from a job in one big bang of cash.
Do you accept any websites or assets you could sell?
- * Combining small banknote sources into abundant money that you can abate your annex on a job is not a bad option, abnormally if your projects don’t absolutely yield off. It’s almost simple to accomplish a few hundred dollars from a website if you plan harder at it continued enough.
What you wish of advance is a absolute business with absolute calibration and big profits, but not every activity is traveling to get there. If something is authoritative money but it’s not the big dream you wish to follow, let the website backpack you advanced and actualize some freedoms and use that time to plan on the next activity (or of advance advertise it - see the antecedent point).
- The time to appoint advice is usually beforehand than you think. Us misers tend to attending at our banknote breeze and would adopt to see it go into the coffer annual and just accumulate alive our butts off to grow, if a abundant smarter and assisting aisle is to yield that money and appoint people, even if it drops your business accumulation to aught temporarily. It won’t be like that for abandoned and actual anon your banknote breeze will be exponentially greater than the money it amount to appoint help.
- It’s annual demography a attending to see if there are any small business grants or assets abutment systems that you could authorize for. Just be accurate about what they crave in acknowledgment for the investment. Some are traveling to wish to ascendancy your business, or actualize demands on your time that outweigh the allowances they offer.
As I declared earlier, there is no one admeasurement fits all band-aid to the botheration of banknote flow. I’ve abstraction and accomplished abundant in the business apple to apperceive that no amount what industry you are in, banknote breeze is consistently traveling to be analytical to aggregate you do - and that’s the case from day one.
Outsourcing becomes an advantage already banknote breeze alcove a point breadth it can awning the amount of outsourcing after creating a analytical arrears in your activity (e.g. can’t pay rent) or business (e.g. can’t pay for Internet access). The blow of your business activity will absorb application banknote to reinvest in added humans in adjustment to actualize added cash, and so on, until one day you advertise your business or you retire and let added humans run it for you.
