When it comes to meeting freelancing deadlines, one method to control your schedule effectively is to divide the great jobs and farm them out to several coders.

Let’s say you have been granted a writing job to write an e-book on childcare with 10 chapters for $2,000 over a 45 day period of time. Bid out every chapter separately among 10 coders and allocate, say, $100 for every chapter more than a 25 day period. This way you don’t have to worry about the deadline simply because you’ve given yourself a 20-day buffer and you stand to earn $1,000 for your efforts.

If you're going to handle a project in this manner you should be able to rewrite the articles you receive in order to make certain the entire book “flows” seamlessly and that the same style and tone of voice is consistent throughout.

There is a popular saying in sales which claims that “It is eight times much easier to obtain new company from your current clients than it's from cold calls.” In other words, make sure you ask your clients for referrals from individuals they know or work with who might require the service you provide.

Some coders hesitate when it comes to asking for referrals simply because they feel it's unprofessional. They really feel asking for referrals is like asking for a favor. That is not really the case. If you have faith in your ability to deliver good function you're actually helping your client simply because of your willingness to supply high quality function to their friends or business associates. That will reflect well on them too. It is a two-way street.
