🗣️How to find freelance graphic design work: best practices pt.1

➡️Get the word out

Consider regularly sharing posts on Facebook, Twitter, Behance, and Dribbble about projects you’re proud of. The more often people see your work, the more they’ll remember what you do. And when someone needs a graphic designer, your name will come to mind. I’ve gotten freelance writing leads from people who recommended me after seeing my work on Facebook.

➡️Pitch local businesses — in person

Finding new graphic design work locally gives you the advantage of connecting with people in person. Take inventory of neighbourhood businesses and visit websites to see who’s in desperate need of a makeover.

Drop in during a company’s slower times. Ask who’s in charge of marketing or decision-making. Often that person will be the owner, maybe the person you’re talking to. Introduce yourself as a graphic designer and tell them you’ve checked out their website. Without being insulting, share your ideas about possible improvements.
