★★★★★ "A must read for anyone who is a freelancer! Do yourself the favour!" - Nick (freelance writer)

____________

Hello Fellow Freelancers!

Are you a freelance web developer who is struggling in your freelancing career?

No matter how many proposals you send, no matter how much you modify them, no matter how cheap you set your rate to, but if you are still failing to land gigs, then this book is for you.

In this book, you will find:

◆ The mistakes that most freelancers make.
◆ How to think like a client.
◆ What type of clients to target.
◆ How to avoid everyday bidding and get out of the rate race.
◆ How to estimate projects.
◆ What points to include in your proposals.
◆ How to communicate with a client.
◆ AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: My proposals that I used to win projects, including the thought process behind writing them.

After reading this book, I am confident that you will be able to:

◆ Communicate with your clients better.
◆ Create targeted and unique proposals for each client.
◆ Able to find several regular clients, so you never have to bid again.
◆ Estimate time and scope of projects better.
◆ Be a successful and top-rated freelancer.
◆ Be a true digital nomad.

Note:

If you are not a web developer but a programmer in any language or simply an online freelancer working in any other domain, .e.g. Writing or SEO, you will still find this book helpful because the concept of proposal writing is the same for everyone.

However, the author is a web developer himself, so web developers will be able to relate more to the information present in this book.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This book is for every new and experienced developer who is "new" to freelancing.

Experience in doing something VS selling any service are two different things. Someone can have experience of 20 years, but if they don't know how to sell their service, they will struggle in freelancing. Experience alone can't get you jobs. No one will first care if you tell them that you have years of experience. They are first interested to know whether you can solve their problem and how.

The main point this book tries to teach is to focus on the client and project, not on yourself, which you should only do in the last few lines of your proposals.

Spot on and a Great Read.
I have worked with a lot of freelancers over the years with my agency and the ones that stood out to me were the responsive ones, the ones who came up with ideas or the ones who stepped up to the plate. Having a detailed scope of work and then the contract is vital. The key is the consistent follow up and maintaining the client. In our day and age, customer service seems to be lacking. This is such a great read and HIGHLY recommend it anyone wanting to grow their business or portfolio.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Brief, A Few Nuggets of Information
    Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021
    The book takes about 25 minutes to read. I purchased it because Faraz is a fellow freelancer and I believe in supporting each other in this business. There are a few things that Faraz hits on that are worth remembering when it comes to freelancing in the web development world. One, proposals weigh heavier than portfolios. Your prospect only cares that you can fix their problem. Two, a well-crafted proposal will get you more clients than a generic template. You cannot simply say "yes, I can fix that." What makes you say that? Do you have proof? Do you have certifications from reputable institutions?

    What takes away from my review is that in each of his proposals, Faraz leans heavily on his 5 years experience and credentialed certification. Obviously, those two things are going to make you stand out over someone who decided they wanted to build websites for a living and watched some YouTube videos over a 3 day weekend.

    Bottom line. If you have no clue how to put a proposal together, then read the book. If you already have 5 years experience plus credentialed certifications, then you probably don't need this book as I doubt it would provide any new information for you.

    Freelancing is hard, no matter what gurus will say. Keep at it, learn as you go, and you'll get to where you want to be.

    I bought this book because I've worked with Faraz very closely. Used to be an amazing developer but now is a great author too.
    A good read for someone who is entering into the area of bidding on freelancing portals.

    Not at all useful. I found it written horribly and very much lacking useful information. Recommend you do not buy this.
