How To Write Proposals For Freelance Clients Using Bonsai

By Roshan Perera / No Comment

One of the key factors that influence clients to hire you for a job is the way you present your proposals.

Clients pay close attention to the way you write a proposal, the design, and the content arrangement to determine how skilled you are at what you do.

It doesn’t matter if you have 10 years of experience designing websites. If you can’t write an effective proposal, you’ll have a hard time finding clients who are willing to hire you.

However, writing and designing great proposals for clients can also be a tedious task when you’re applying to multiple jobs at a time. Today, I want to help you find a solution to that problem.

You don’t have to depend on freelance marketplaces to find work. There are so many ways you can find freelance work.

One of the most effective ways to find freelance projects is to use job boards and contact clients directly via email.

Writing an email to a client to pitch for a job is not an easy task. Because your email needs to be perfect to win over the client.

Then again, you don’t have to be a master of the English language to write a great email either. You just have to learn to follow certain email etiquette when writing the pitch to appear more professional to your clients.

It’s fairly easy to get started as a freelancer.

But it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and motivation to survive and be a successful freelancer.

This is why most new freelancers give up on their dreams of working from home after a few months.

And it’s also why only a handful of freelancers become successful and find financial freedom.

It took me more than 6 years of hard work as a full-time freelancer to get there. To finally find financial freedom.

As I’ve explained in my book, it didn’t happen overnight. I worked 100-hour workweeks and went through 20-hour workdays to get here. And learned a lot of lessons along the way.

These are some of the most important factors that helped me to be where I am today.

By Roshan Perera / 1 Comment

This year, I challenged myself to learn a new skill every month.

It was an extreme challenge but I wanted to see how far I can get before I feel exhausted or bored.

Well, I was wrong. As Leonardo da Vinci said, “learning never exhausts the mind” and I’ve only felt excited to learn more.

As of March 20th, I finished learning two new skills and working on learning my third new skill this month. And I have plans to learn more skills this year.

This article is about the process I use to learn a new skill every month. I wanted to share this story so you could also try to learn a new skill (or two or twelve) this year.
