Niche Over Generalist: Your Key to Freelance Fortune? I meet a lot of freelance software developers who position themselves as a jack of all trades and try to get plenty of different jobs. The result is that they face a lot of competition and often low pay. However, if you want to become a freelance software developer who is sought after by new clients and paid well at the same time, focus on niche specialisation. What does this mean? The power of niche specialisation lies in positioning yourself as an expert in a particular field. Whether it's a specific technology stack, industry or project type, focusing on a niche can drastically reduce competition and increase the attractiveness to a targeted group of customers. Importantly, by tailoring your marketing materials (website, blog, social media content) to your chosen niche, you can not only simplify your message, but also attract customers looking for your specific expertise. This strategy will lead to potential clients perceiving you as the most relevant expert, allowing you to charge higher fees and work on more fulfilling projects. --- Do you believe it's crucial for standing out in the tech industry, or have you found success with a broader approach?

Want to land your first freelance client? 🤔 I've noticed that when we ask experienced freelancers for advice, they often stress the importance of communication skills, building a portfolio, and consistently applying for new jobs. However, after spending two years in the industry, what I learned is it's very crucial to be selective about the jobs you apply for. No one is likely to hire a newcomer to build their business website 🙂 Instead, focus on applying for jobs where clients need help with specific issues that you can resolve quickly and effectively. For instance, a job title like: "I can't ssh into my EC2 instance :)" could be a good fit. #jobs #freelance #learning

Ways to find freelancing opportunities as a developer 1) Use Fiverr or Upwork- This one is obvious as these boards boast thousands of new projects posted per day. The downside is, you will often be competing with a lot of other people for opportunities 2) Join Slack Groups - There is likely one or several public slack groups dedicated to software development in your city. Join these groups and keep an eye on them for people looking to hire help in software development 3) Reach Out to Your Network - Oftentimes, people in your network have ideas on projects they want to do, but haven't taken the step to  post it anywhere. If you reach out, you might give them the nudge to clarify the project and get started. #freelancing #softwaredevelopment

You may have noticed that lately there has been a bit of ruckus about #freelancer #price levels. My tip to software development freelancers is to take it easy. The recent market shift for most hasn't been that dramatic and the right price for you is likely the same as about a year ago. Especially, if you have special skills, you may not face any change in the market situation. However, regardless of the market, you should understand how to price yourself and how can you make sure you get a competitive rate. After all, even at Thriv, a single project is just a single data point for you.
