00:00Here in your Freelancing Show, all the important things are presented.
00:18If you know how to present your work, and how to show your work to the employer, believe
00:26me, half of your work as a freelancer is over.
00:29Many professional freelancers complain that they put in so much effort but do not get a response.
00:39When I see their portfolio as a volunteer filling in the employer's shoes,
00:44I see that their work does not reflect their structure.
00:52So therefore, when the employer has options to make the other person's work look better,
01:00he ignores them.
01:22The second is by having a website where you can talk about who you are and you talk about your portfolio.
01:32Then you give them an access to contact you.
01:36These are the three things in a website.
01:38You tell them about yourself, you showcase your portfolio in different links, by the way.
01:43And then you give a way for the customer to contact you.
01:48The third important thing, ladies and gentlemen, is social media.
01:51Using the power of Google+, Facebook page, and YouTube.
01:58Now these three things present your skills towards an employer.
02:03Because when you make a freelance marketplace profile, you will be advised to give your website address.
02:09You will be advised to give your social media links.
02:12And the more your presence, the more the employer will get to know about you.
02:18The employer will get knowledge about you.
02:22And then the most important thing,
02:24you make your website and create your portfolio in it.
02:30Tell them about yourself and make sure that people can contact you.
02:36Why am I saying all these three things?
02:39When you can present your work as a freelancer,
02:41a description and a profile picture, that would suffice.
02:47Why do you need to have a presence elsewhere?
02:49Why do you need to have your work present on social media?
02:53Why do you need to have a website?
02:55This is so that when you grow over a period of time,
02:59and your brand will also grow,
03:01people will be able to contact you in different ways
03:06for their work.
03:10Personally, I get work from my Facebook page, Being Guru.
03:14I also get work from my website, Being Guru.
03:16People fill in the form and say,
03:18I saw this or that content,
03:20or I saw this or that video,
03:22and I am coming from social media,
03:24and I want to give you a project regarding graphic designing or web development.
03:30Because obviously, I am running a small scale company.
03:35So, it is very important for you to present your skills,
03:37and do that effectively,
03:39not just on a freelance marketplace,
03:41but also on social media.
03:43And by social media,
03:45I do not specifically want you to refrain from using other social networks.
03:53Pintrust is very important.
03:55Google Plus does not seem important,
03:57but it is very important in the outside world.
03:59I have received a lot of work from Google Plus in foreign countries.
04:01We do not use it in Pakistan.
04:04And of course, in Pakistan,
04:06we use Facebook profile a lot,
04:08but we do not use Facebook page.
04:10So, kindly use Facebook page,
04:12talk about your portfolio,
04:14upload your videos,
04:16upload your content,
04:18brand yourself.
04:20This is very important.
04:22So, it is very important for you
04:24to present your skills effectively
04:26on the digital space.
