Custom Gigs
Custom gigs when to use them, how to use them and how to use them effectively to earn more money and get higher quality clients and projects. Now, I suppose we should start with, why would you offer a custom gig in the first place? Well, custom gigs can be quite useful. You see when a client gets in touch with you and maybe they want your premium package, but they just don't want a particular element of that package. You can offer them a custom gig, which includes everything that is included in the premium package without the one element is kind of putting them off because they don't want to pay for it because they don't need it. So, ultimately, custom gigs or custom packages are a way to tailor your offering to exactly what your client needs or wants. One thing that is super important when you're creating a custom package for your client is not to over price. What is already stated in your gigs. I've personally worked with a couple of freelancers on fiber who I've asked for a quote fo...
r and they've basically sent me a completely different pricing to what is stated in their gig. So I basically just end up going with a package is in their gigs because it's far less expensive. And I basically get the exact same thing. I think for some reason, some people just think that you don't check their gigs and you just get in touch with them because they're an expert in their field. So just make sure that if you are going to offer a custom gig to a client, make sure that it represents the pricing and the value that you are offering in each of your gigs that are relevant to the custom gig you're going to be creating. Basically, if you create a custom gig, which is highly overpriced, the client's not going to trust you and they're probably just going to go elsewhere for their business. Now, one other thing is really important when you are thinking about creating a custom gig is to never ask what the client's budget is. And the reason for this is the client is never going to tell you first and foremost. And secondly, you shouldn't have to ask. The reason being is if you're an expert, then what you are offering costs a certain amount. And if a client is already getting in contact with you, then they've probably already seen your gigs and your packages. So they already expecting that price roughly around that figure anyway, so never ask a client how much their budget is. In my personal opinion, I would rather just say this is how much my price is. If you want to pay, then that's fine. If you don't want to pay it, then there are plenty of other people out there who you can hire. Now, when you're creating a custom gig, one thing that keep in mind is to give yourself an extra two day buffer just to get the package. Perfect for your client. It's always better to have a couple of extra days just to basically refine anything if anything goes wrong. And also to make sure that you exceed your client's expectations, you deliver early instead of delivering on time or late. Another great tip that I always recommend for pretty much any freelancer out there on fiber is to have an introductory discovery call with your client to discuss the project in depth first before you dive into the project together. This just makes sure that you're a great fit for each other. And it also makes sure that you fully understand the expectations that they have for the project. Now, one thing is really important when you are offering a custom gig is to let the client know that this particular offer is only valid for a certain period of time. So for example, if you offer a package and you do not state that it is not valid after 48 hours and the clients secures it after one or two weeks, and you're super busy with other projects, this could lead to you potentially delivering that project late because you're busy with other projects and you've already stretched yourself too thin. So make sure you limit the amount of time that the clients can actually take to purchase the order. And if you want to purchase the order in a week or two weeks or maybe in a few months' time, they can do that, but simply just reassess the situation and extend the delivery date or adjust the pricing accordingly. Make sure you check your schedule and always make sure you give yourself enough buffer and enough profit to work efficiently on every single project that you are working on. Another thing is super important is to make sure that within the custom gig, you state exactly what is going to be delivered within the deliverables. This is to make sure that before you start the gig and before you start the project, you and the client are completely on the same page. So there is no confusion and that you are completely aligned. This is going to save a ton of hassle and potential arguments later on down the line when you deliver the project and the client says, where is this? This and this when it wasn't stated in the custom gig. So just be careful and please please take your time and make sure that everything is fully explained within the custom gig so that once the client confirms it, they can confirm that that is exactly what they're going to get when the gig is delivered. I hope you found this lesson helpful and I look forward to seeing you in the next one. See you soon.
