1. FB groups: it’s a no-no for me, you’ll almost always find them paying peanuts and it’s a rare sight to find someone who’ll pay high. 2. Job boards: while you can get some fair-paying gigs through these boards, there’s a hell of a lot competition because these are public boards and loads of freelancers apply to them so again, landing a big client? Small chances. 3. Social media: now, this is the biggest one. Social media vs cold emailing is a fair fight because both of them generate high-impact results. But when it comes to landing big projects, inbound leads take some time to start showing up + you can’t control who reaches out to you and cannot guarantee big clients or high paying clients. This is also the reason why I started outreach because I couldn’t wait around for my dream clients to message me. ✨Cold emailing: everything is in your control—what you pitch, how you pitch, what you quote and ofcourse, to whom you pitch. You can reach out to the biggest of players in the industry and bag a project. If not immediately, after some follow ups atleast. Also social media and cold emailing aren’t very independent. I’ve seen a lot of my cold email responses because the recipient had already seen me on social media or because they went through my LinkedIn or Twitter profile through the email signature. But if I’ve to choose one—cold emailing wins. You’re the master there and you control everything. So, have you started cold emailing yet?

When you do what your mind plans, you get success. But, when you do what your heart wants, you get happiness. Always prioritize Happiness > Success.

But how do we maintain quality, meet deadlines, and stay sane in the process? Here are a few tips: ✅Prioritize: Identify which projects are urgent, important, or have impending deadlines. Focus your energy on those first. ✅Time Blocking: Allocate specific time slots for each project and stick to them religiously. This helps maintain focus and prevents tasks from bleeding into each other. ✅Break it Down: Divide larger projects into smaller, manageable tasks. Tackling bite-sized portions makes progress feel more achievable and less overwhelming. ✅Set Boundaries: Learn to say no when necessary. Overcommitting leads to burnout and compromises the quality of your work. ✅Communication is Key: Keep your clients informed about your workload and any potential delays. Transparency builds trust and understanding. ✅Take Breaks: Schedule regular breaks to recharge your mind and prevent decision fatigue. A refreshed mind is more productive. ✅Learn to Delegate: If possible, delegate tasks that don't require your direct input. This frees up time for you to focus on more critical aspects of your projects. Remember, it's not about doing more; it's about doing what matters most effectively. Find a balance that works for you and your clients, and you'll thrive in managing multiple projects simultaneously.
