Making Clients Pay Your Price Quote
Mittwoch, 22.Juli 2009If you are a freelancer, be it any field, you will have to handle your clients by self always. It can be in matters of the price quote, quality of work, delivery date, and anything else related to the project. Quoting a price for the service you offer and making the client agree to it is hard at times. It becomes the more difficult when the client is new in the business and don’t know the various aspects of the service you provide. You may be an experienced professional in the domain and your services may not be like the others. In these situations, the clients may not quote a budget in the first instance, instead ask you to quote one.
If you feel that the business is really tempting, there are certain ways to convince your client to pay you more than what they agree for. You can reduce some additional services you provide in your usual work and simply just cater specifically to their needs alone and work for a lower price suiting you. Or instead of the overall estimate, you can go for an hourly pay. But before opting for this, work out a rough estimate of the time required to complete the work.
Never lose your professional ethics and go for a bargain. Tell them what your services are and stay fixed to your quote. If the client is really interested in quality work, they will fall in for your professional attitude and work. But you must be sure that your quote is realistic and in balance with the other service providers in the industry. Otherwise you can be sidelined as too expensive and they may seek new professionals.
If the client is not willing to pay you your price, spend a little more time with them. Show them a few of your works. Tell them how it has impacted the client’s business and the positive reviews received for the work. Give them time to browse through your work, see every aspect of it, and understand for themselves why you are expensive! By this they will have an opportunity to understand that you are not simply fluffing about your work. But you are indeed worth the price they pay.
Sometimes a promising client may agree that your works are superb and you are the one in demand, but may disagree with the dealing stating that the rate is too high for them. If you feel that the client is one probable of gaining you more good businesses, don’t turn down the offer. Take some time and think about it. You may be capable of doing some adjustments in your service. Lower your rate a bit. Be sure that you don’t go in completely with their offer. Maintain a stand that you are lowering it for the client’s sake. Discuss the work with the client and work out a schedule such that you do not spend time more than required, for this one project. That saved hours can be spend on other profitable projects.
There is another possible way of getting your clients agree to your rate. Apart from the regular services you provide for the mentioned quote, add in one or two more. For example, if you are a web designer and the client wants a website for their new product, make a combo deal for them. Offer to design the logo along with the website. Convince them on how is it profitable for them to make you design the logo than going for a new designer who may charge extra. Clubbing offers and services always work. But you must be good enough in the extra services you provide as well. Extending the services is also good at times. You can extend the service by signing up a contract for a period or so.
There are certain tips to add the professionalism to your services so that clients will not reject you for your expensive rate. Be an expert in what you do. Instead of doing too many things, concentrate on that one or two things you do. This can make your work highly sought after. Keep improving your skills by advancing with the technology and attending workshops in your field. Maintain some high profile clients in client list. This will automatically increase your market value. Follow professional ethics and guidelines in the work you do. If you follow these things in your profession, clients will certain agree to pay you what you charge. And always keep your rates offered to a specific client confidential. Never disclose rate matters to other clients.
You can also use a psychological approach to make your client pay the reasonable amount you demand. Never get into an argument with a client or get irritated when they say you are expensive. Stay calm. If you get irritated, you are spoiling the business. Give your best behaviour to them. Rather than talking strictly on the business lines, try to be a bit casual. Speak about the trends and advancements in the field and get a bit friendly. Finally make your quote. They would not be able to deny you.
Give them good ideas and tell them the different ways in which the idea can be expressed. But do not give them too much of detail. The client must get the idea clearly across that you are definitely capable of doing the job and has lots of ideas. This will make the client feel that paying a bit more than the budget is indeed worth. Sometimes, instead of saying a round figure in the first go, split the charges in your invoice. Tell them what each sub-service would cost them and make them understand the importance of each unit. If the client does not require a particular sub-service, just remove it. But in this method, identify those sub-services which are the most important and charge them accordingly. This way you can charge the client directly for each single work you do to complete the project.

Tips To Strike The Right Cord Between Work And Recreation
Samstag, 4.Juli 2009Today, we are all a part of a mad race exploiting ourselves to the hilt to reach for the skies. We nurture a desire to accomplish everything that seems beyond our reach. In our attempts to satiate our desires, we work hard, sometimes beyond our capacity and tend to blur the equilibrium maintained between our personal and professional lives. In our efforts to reach the top of the ladder, we neglect our friends and family that are our perennial source of happiness and pleasure for us.

How To Get Quality Backlinks For Your Websites
Mittwoch, 1.Juli 2009Backlinks are the links located at different sites, but pointing to your site. While, a quality backlink is one which links to your website, by the use of the keywords or keyword phrases same as yours, and appears on websites that are of the similar theme, content, or topic as your website. And also if the backlink is from a site classified as reputable, it is very much valued. Quality backlinks are widely used in the process of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). These count as votes on the quality of the website. As quality is the key factor, quality backlinks are valued more. It is always better to have less number of quality backlinks targeting your content than numerous backlinks to varied topics.
SEO backlink research has emerged in the recent years and is very useful as it encourages you to think of the important aspects that affect the quality of the link. This research points out the most important aspects and factors for SEO ranking methods and also how different search engines apply them. Google ranks a website primarily based on quality backlinks and some more features. If the linking page has a right link context it is valuable. The main purpose of adding backlinks as a part of the page ranking process is that if a page is good, more and more people start to link to it. And that way, you gain more backlinks.
Getting quality backlinks to your site is sometimes a process in itself. If your content is good and relevant, it is possible that people read it and give backlinks to it. Out of these, the quality backlinks will be from those websites similar in topic to yours and if the anchor text contains keywords same as yours, the quality increases. There are plenty of other ways to get quality backlinks like listing your website in directories, blogs, making posts in forums and the like. But the practice of interlinking; linking from another site owned by the same person, is unaccepted.
Initial step towards getting quality back links is to strengthen your website. Make sure that the site has quality content and is well structured. Optimize it for your visitor and not for the search engine. With the number of increase of visitors, backlinks also increase. This automatically leads to the increase in inbound links from search engines.
Then find the websites from where you get those quality backlinks. You can rely on the Backlink Builder tool for this purpose. The tool lists the websites where you can post articles, messages, or backlink to your site, when you enter the keywords. Then you can visit these websites and make posts with your backlink or send email requests. This is a free trade and make sure that you link to respectable sites. You must offer the site owners something different. You can tell them how backlinking to your site can benefit the visitors. If the site owner feels that your site has good stuff, you are sure to get a quality backlink. So the pain of making your website strong in content pays here.
When posting in forums or blogs, post valuable information with a backlink to your site. People reading that post will visit your website to know more about the topic. But it is also possible that the blog administrator edits or deletes your post, as per their decision. And sometimes, they do not welcome links in their posts. In some extreme cases, blog owners can ban search engines from indexing the blog. In this case, posting a backlink there is of no use. Unlike posting in forums and blogs, submitting articles to directories are more time consuming as the articles are usually bigger than the posts. But it is worth the time spent. Ensure that the submission is to highly page ranked internet directories like the Yahoo Directory and Dmoz.
Try content exchange to get quality backlinks. You can RSS feeds for free to the interested sites, and when these RSS feeds get posted elsewhere, you get a backlink and more readers. Trying out affiliate programs also is a good method though they are expensive.
The types of backlink placements are either free or paid. There are many website which exchange quality backlinks for free. You can submit your website and gain partners ready to exchange new quality backlinks. You can submit either to the website directly or to website directories offering this service. But make sure that you are not linking to a link farm. This can affect you severely. When linked to a link farm, you can be banned from search engines. Also linking to suspicious sites is not recommended. These sites in turn can be linked to bad ones. If so, you are getting linked to a website with ‘bad neighbors’. This affects your efforts for SEO.
When you have no time to do all this manually, purchase text links for your website. But do a little bit of research of the websites. The websites can charge you a monthly or quarterly fee. Based on the link placement, the charge can vary.
There are many more tips to get good backlinks. One of them is being a top commentator. Be a bit active in commenting. Some blogs honor the top commentators and provide backlinks. Engage more often with fellow bloggers. They are constantly on the lookout for new and challenging topics. If you have one matching the other’s requirement, send it out. You can get a Thank you backlink. And love your fellow bloggers. When you come across good articles, give a link to it on your site. This can benefit you also in turn when they give you also a backlink. Write more! If you have good content in your website, people will definitely put links to your specific contents.
When you have more quality backlinks from highly page ranked blogs, on the next update by Google, your page rank also increases. This is the best backlink building strategy.
