Setting Up Requirements Properly
Now setting up your gig requirements is one of the most important steps to any gig creation process. And what I mean by that is if you don't do this correctly, it's going to make your job a lot harder during the process of actually delivering the package. Now, for me personally, I've spent a lot of time over the past six years to really understand what it is that I need for each package that I deliver to really understand exactly how to meet the client's expectations and to satisfy the objectives that they are trying to achieve. Now, even though you may have little experience in regard to providing the service that you are looking to sell, you do probably have a pretty good idea in regard to the questions that you should ask to really help yourself throughout the creation process. When are actually delivering and developing the deliverables. Now, these are the requirements that I personally arrange for one of my marketing strategy gigs. So the first question that I always ask is to bas...
ically book a one hour consultation call, so we can actually discuss the project in more depth. I give them the link to book that and that goes directly into my diary. And I actually have a video a little bit later on in this course where I show you within that lesson, how to link up your calendar to your fiver account really easily. So your clients who end up booking with you can essentially end up booking directly in your calendar without discussing time zones and without discussing availability. So it saves you a ton of time. So make sure you do not miss that. Now within the actual requirements, I also state things like these requirements are meant to give me an insight in regards to your business before we actually start to strategize and actually build your marketing strategy. So I tell them that and I basically structure my questions to really get as much insight as possible in regard to their business, to make sure that I can basically serve them the best possible way that I can use my expertise and my experience, one of the most important things as well when you're actually developing your requirements for each gig is to basically refine them as you go. So for example, I had a situation back when I first started on fiber where the same problem kept happening again and again and again. And what I basically did is I thought, OK, I can either let this happen again and again and again, or I can add something to the requirements and something to my process. To make sure that this doesn't happen any more. And I think that the situation was that people who were getting brand names were essentially expecting to get a clean.com Domain, which cost $50,000 for $20 which obviously just isn't realistic, but they didn't understand how rare those types of domains were. So what I did is within the requirements. I stated that even Facebook had the domain of the Facebook for the first stage of their business before they actually invested in just facebook.com for $100,000. After around 2 to 3 years of being in business. This is really important because actually manages the client's expectations before they start the process. Because now they know that getting a domain which is clean for $20 is just not realistic, especially if you're looking for a brand name is 4 to 5 letters long. It just is so rare. It's kind of like filing a Ferrari for $10. It's just not going to happen. Now, one thing that you need to make sure of when you're setting up your requirements is to simply make sure that you get all the information that you need and do not expect to get everything. Perfect. First time, your requirements are going to take a little bit of refinement, do not expect to get everything perfect. The first time you do a project with a client, make sure that you simply are open to learning what went wrong and if anything does go wrong, take it on the chin and then use that to refine your process and refine your requirements so you can get more information. So that particular problem or challenge never happens again. I really hope this lesson was valuable and I really appreciate the fact that you're taking the time to really invest in yourself and your fiber career as a freelancer. So I look forward to seeing you in the very next lesson. See you soon.
