Get Organized – Your Reputation Is At Stake!

As you become known and orders start streaming in, you will be on your way to getting a stable income. However, you have to get organized and deliver your orders on time. Do not be in a rush to accept more orders when your hands are already full. With your outstanding portfolio, good clients are likely to understand that you will be tackling their projects later on rather than immediately.

Failing to deliver your orders on time can give you a bad reputation and dismantle your efforts of getting a steady online income from your freelance graphic design business. Apart from having a great portfolio, client’s work must be delivered on schedule.

Eventually, you will be at some point which you have to turn down work either because you have too much to do or the client has expectations or deadlines that you cannot beat. Thus, you should know your schedule well, the kind of projects you are working on, their expected submission dates and an overview of the skills that will be required. You can use free online project management tools to streamline your records.

Reputation is the keyword here. And in the words of Benjamin Franklin, “It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it”.
