FreelanceSwitch is chock full of promotion tips. We’ve given you ways to use email to get your message across, showed you techniques to nab hot clients, talked about how to build buzz, and we may even have helped you embrace cold-calling.
But sometimes, before you learn all the techniques to promote yourself as a business, you have to step out of your own way. As in, you have to get over your fear of self-promotion.
Think about it: How can you tackle putting your best foot out there if you’re insecure and anxious about how it will all go down. There’s not much sense in spending the time to promote yourself if you doubt what you’re doing. Freelancers may be able to mask our insecurities by working solo–or even working from home, alone like myself–but when it comes to promoting ourselves, it’s best done with confidence.
