Omg after watching this video and implementing the steps, I literally got my first client today!!! I’m super excited and grateful for this channel. Many blessings to you Deya 💚
Deya I'll be honest, I assumed this video would be another cookie cutter video that i've seen so many times from various youtube channels, but after watching this, i felt like you're the first person who addressed the questions that a lot of freelancers try to search an answer for. Especially the "pick a problem" one. So many people just say "find a problem of the business and find a solution for it." No one gave examples of what the problem is, except you! I hope you always have the integrity to be this helpful! Thank you!
this was extremely helpful and made the freelancing process feel so easy with how you broke it down. I was getting hella overwhelmed trying to start so gonna put this in action. Thanks Deya 😊
Thanks for the valuable information Deya. I always wanted to become a freelancer but never took action. You have such a pleasant and cheerful personality. You make me want to watch your videos every day.
I'm really happy with the people who really care about helping & feeding others with further details & real information unlike others who use some ' LIES " for quite advertised videos & promotions to get caught in their channels, Thank you Deya you are really Incredible, keep going!
This is the logical and rational pitching strategy I have been ever taught. Million thanks to you! So exciting to watch the cold pitching tutorial video that you mentioned. *I promise that I will come back by next week to say you guys that I land my first paid client❤
Discovered your channel today, and subscribing! Already watched the "Best & Worst freelancing platforms..." video. If there are any other videos in your channel that someone still getting their footing in freelancing should watch (either on your channel or someone else's) please send any recommendations; really like your approach.
That was an amazing video! It really motivated me, and I have been binging your videos recently. Do you have some tips for web development freelancer, who is targeting small businesses for a landing page?
I really needed this video. I got set up on Contra a week ago, and posted a bunch of work examples. But nobody is checking me out! Should I join the pro-plan?
Great video! I'm cold pitching now. What kind of follow-up schedule would you recommend for people who don't respond? I have started sending out one follow-up a week after my original pitch, but I'm not sure if future follow ups are a good idea if they don't respond to the follow up.
Hi Jessica! I normally follow up within 5-7 days, yes. Have you watched my cold pitching series by chance? I'd say researching the client, writing a really good cold pitch that fits what they need + presenting yourself as the best solution is more important as if the offer is great, the pitchee normally will bookmark to reply.
2:20 How do you do this though? I tried to go through my watch history and see what channels are in that sweet spot so I could sound genuine when I pitch them since you know...I actually watch their videos lol but most of them are way above that sweet spot So what do you suggest?
What about students? Or better yet adult students in Masters programs or residency programs (these students usually have regular jobs, therefore can pay).
I think you need a balance of the two but your priority should be quality -- especially because I really doubt any of those automated pitches (unless the product is SUPER good and a no brainer) work. Obviously the ideal is to send as many as possible without impacting the quality of your cold pitches. Personally, I'd rather send 10 great/personalized/thoughtful pitches than 100 mediocre/unpersonalized/automated ones. Just my 2 cents!
@@MyNameIsDeya ok, thanks 😄 Procrastination and perfectionism eat me up from the inside. Definitely should try all possible options) Btw, already have a couple of rejections from HRs related to unpaid internship I'm on the right way 😅

This is a great how-to video. I appreciate the empathetic, instructive pep talk while showing the way.

Re-watching this and following everything. I can't say how good you made this one. Extremely grateful to have your channel in my life.
So glad you enjoyed it, Suvendro!

@@gulsaramamadumbarkhonova9950 I outreach to a lot of people to get my first client in LinkedIn.
@@gulsaramamadumbarkhonova9950 bro he is not replying
The background cat activity always kills me, and you're that good because you still manage to keep us in focus !
I did not expect that the UA-cam algorithm could be useful one day. I am grateful for what you are doing. Keep going

So, so glad it was helpful!
Deyaaaa, this was perfect timing!

This is a elite level video. Love action taking videos like this.

Thank God I found this channel. Thank you so much Deya.
this wes extreamly helpful thanks for giving this wonderful knowledge 😃😃
I confess I watched this whole video based entirely on your cats going nuts in the background. 😁
They were nuuuuuts in this video hahahaha
😂😂
Just wow! All everything.
You're a hidden gem

did you land your first client?
So cute when she talking so fast! Where does she take her nrj?! I simultaneously admire and envy her nrj
Thank you! Your voice reminds me of Jaiden Animations and you definitely have a cat enthusiast vibe, so suspecting that. 😸
You are awesome. Thanks for everything !!

So what do you suggest?
What about looking up some keywords (that your favorite channels use) on UA-cam and finding medium-sized creators that cover similar topics?
What target would you recommend for a freelance filmmaker? I have experience and have done some short docs.
Now I know why I can't find client.... I didn't organize my calendar and end up doing nothing!!!!
Do i ask them on the very first cold pitch if they have an email list ?
I edit fiction manuscripts, yet most authors already have an editor (or two) in their arsenal. Any tips on finding others who do not?
What about students? Or better yet adult students in Masters programs or residency programs (these students usually have regular jobs, therefore can pay).
God i miss those "heya, its Deya, a freelancer, digital business manager and recently an enterpreneur(both hands touching your chin*)
Hahahahah I'm with you! But I got feedback that it wasn't necessary + may hurt retention :/
@@MyNameIsDeya nope its the opposite. i find it kinda cute. definitely not "retention-hurting"
What's your hourly rate today?
I saw that someone tell about quantity over quality and send pitches automatically via email. How do you feel about this and what is better?
