This helped so much, thank you!
So cool! I love how you organize things!
🤗 Glad you enjoyed it! I love organizing!

Thanks for sharing, Deya! ❤️I agree about the freelance platforms, It is what I also used when starting out and eventually went out and diversified. Important note is to really just Start and go from there⭐

Thanks for sharing Deya! Mubashir Murtaza here from Lahore l,Pakistan 🇵🇰
You are welcome, Mubashir! Thanks for watching!
Hey Deya, I just started freelancing as a VA, I'm currently on Fiverr and I have had just one client as of now. I haven't been getting any orders. I am trying to get clients from Facebook groups, but as a VA idk what kind of groups to target. please give me some advice. ps: I am a part of your group as well.
Hi Syed! Congrats on landing your first client! For your groups to target, not sure if you watched my Facebook groups video - but I share a few ways to search for groups that would be relevant e.g. searching on Facebook by your target audience, by tools, by service type, etc. So if your target client is a course creator, I would join the types of groups they'd be joining like Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific support groups. I would show up with a ton of value to deliver over and over and really establish yourself as an expert in that group.
You are beautiful ❤️... Can you make a video on how to find clients on Facebook and Instagram?
Hi Ishwar! I just published a video about how to find clients on FB groups! :) Here you go - ua-cam.com/video/xUv3L-s5Kyg/v-deo.html
@@MyNameIsDeya thank you.. I will check it out..
Hey Deya,
I love your videos.
Could you hire me?
I would love to work with you, I'm a copywriter and Marketing Strategist.
HELLO Maam ,
Can I apply to you ?
Hi Tutor, I am not currently hiring but if I ever am I will be sure to advertise on my socials.
is it m,y impression or she actually never mentioned WHERE she actually found them omg
Hey! I get into where I found each client at 06:17 - you can see the breakdown of it in the pie graph. 61% off a freelance platform - that was almost all off of Upwork. 27% were from Facebook groups, 7.5% were referrals and the rest were via cold pitching. Hope that helps.
Heyy Deya I just wanted to add something for people in the comments:
Upwork charges 20% only for your 500 first $, then 10% until you reach 10 000$, and only 5% afterward!
I hung in there until I reached 10 000 and it made it worth it for me, even though I totally agree with you that working hourly is not the best, and people tend to offer hourly gigs on Upwork!
Great tip, Maya! I totally agree - I also hit $10K eventually on Upwork which really paid off to save on those fees. :D
