How to build a positive reputation as freelancer

One thing that is important to build and maintain is a positive reputation with your clients and your working ecosystem (such as freelancing platforms or agencies you may use to find new work)

As you set out to build your own freelancing reputation keep these points in mind.

Be trustworthy

Complete your work honestly and completely. Don't copy others or submit incomplete work.

Be interested

Read all of the instructions and requirements provided by your client and follow them closely as you report your work. Add value.

Be active

When you accept a proposal invitation, participate and contribute to the lead. Again, add value.

Be reliable

When you accept a new project, finish it.

Be dedicated

Try to improve your skills and submit quality work in every project.

Be creative

Test all deliverables as a normal user would and try to recreate every scenario a user would encounter.

Be thorough

Write clear and accurate project reports. When completing projects, give detailed notes in the steps.

Be a hard worker

Give your best in every cycle that you accept.

Conclusion

All those items listed above are the "de facto" minimum responsibilities you must adhere if you want to become a long time freelancer.

Remember: If you cannot contribute to a project, it is always best to decline the invitation.
