Search & Research

Research is an important part of every Freelancer's career! Here are a few tips to help you create a winning strategy for your freelance business:

1. Have a solo brainstorming session:
Before you create a formal document, make a list of what you hope to achieve and what you want your business to look like.

2. Start with a mission statement:
You should have a mission statement in place that describes what sets you apart from others you’ve examined in your niche.

3. Set a timeline:
Your business plan will include long- and short-term goals. Reflect this by creating a timeline to reach your various objectives. Be realistic but aggressive.

4. Regularly revisit:
It’s important to review your business plan on a regular basis and make sure you’re staying true to the goals you originally set.
