Not everybody likes learning new things. Especially if the topic is something NOT of their interest. To me that is why every freelancer on the cyber space should be doing what they love doing. If you are not yet doing your passion, you better start looking at that, because as long as you are offering online freelance services, you need to constantly keep learning. Wanna know why?
The truth is the increase of online freelancers is massive and it ain’t slowing down ever. That is why, learning new skills will keep you above your competition and win you more projects. Clients are always looking for freelancers with more skills, and the more skills you have, the more chances you have in winning clients.
Every day, new systems, software and hardware are introduced. In order to be on top of the game, you need to know about them and learn how to use them. Remember, most people just hate the idea of breaking the flow of their lives to learn something new. Don’t be part of the most people. Many clients are actually freelancers who outsource because they don’t have a particular skill. BOOM!! opportunity for you.
While new inventions happen every day, the old also get updated. Don’t be left behind while the world is moving forward. Even if you are used to using a particular version of a program, try to learn and get used to a newer version of it. You never know when a client will ask you to use the latest version of the program to complete a task.
Like everybody else, I’m not a study lover, but I found a very simple way to like learning things. “It is Videos”. No matter what you do, there must be videos on youtube that can teach you whatever you want to learn. I hope this 3 tips give you some light to never stop learning as a freelancer and win more freelance jobs.
