Regular Clients = Great Work At Home Income

I recently wrote about how one of the best work at home opportunities is to work as a freelancer doing writing, design, admin and a huge number of other things for successful online businesses and entrepreneurs.

And while I took the time to explain *why* I think freelancing is such a great opportunity, I missed out a key point that I want to mention to you today.

The fact is that the actual bidding process in order to get freelance jobs is, in my opinion, the worst part of the whole process. In many cases, someone else will undercut you. Infact, you will likely only be successful in 10-20% of your bids, even when you gain some experience.

That means that you will waste a considerable amount of time placing detailed bids only to get nothing out of it (except, perhaps, some practice at bid writing!). Now don’t get me wrong. We all do this process and we still make money so you shouldn’t be fearful of this process, but I wanted to tell you that there *is* a better way.

The key, of course, is to foster repeat business. If you manage to seal a work at home job for a decent-sized company and you do a good job, there is an excellent chance that they will be able to offer you repeat business.

This of course not only saves you time in terms of the bidding process, but furthermore you get to know your clients so well that you don’t need to “learn” how they like business done. You’ve worked with them before and know how they like the work presented and so on.

They send you over some work and you just get straight on with it.

I now have a number of clients who basically have as much work for me as I have time to do it. Within a day or so of finishing a job, I get paid into my account and then receive through another email with my next task. They know that I will get the job done to the best of my ability so they don’t chase me in any way and I just work when I’m in the mood.

This, to me, is the perfect work at home business. No boss and regular work. Perfect.
