I work as a full-time freelance photographer. And no, that does not mean that I have a lot of spare time to do whatever I want during the day. I feel that there are a lot of misrepresentations of how freelancers work. *Cues a smart and clean looking guy smiling away as he checks his laptop with a cup of coffee in hand* No. Absolutely not. People do not see the midnight oil that we burn just to meet deadlines, nor the struggles that we have when we don’t have any jobs on hand.
I am fortunate to have built up a pool of connections over the years so I do have regular clients who look for me to do shoots for them. Despite that, there are inevitably lull periods where I don’t have any jobs, and this causes me huge distress at times because I’ve still got plenty of bills to pay and I can’t afford to have periods with zero income.
And that brings me to the next point. I really hate scouting for new clients. I know that sounds like an irony, but it really is a lot of work to be scouring the internet and acucmulating list of leads and contacts to reach out to. I often find myself manually looking for leads late into the night, because it’s just something that i had to do. Without leads, it’s hard to find clients and make money from those relationships, which are both important for a freelancer to keep their business going. After some time, I decided that I need to be more productive, so I started looking for a product that can enable me to acquire more leads fast and affordably.
All these endless late nights of leads searching came to an end after I found Sendvilla. As a non-technical person, I truly appreciate the fact that Sendvilla is really easy to use. It’s so straightforward that I got new leads in my list within minutes. Minutes. Compared to the endless hours that I spent in the past. This was truly a life changing moment for me. Another plus point for me was I didn’t have to burn a hole in my pocket just to get started. I picked the cheapest plan to try it out (I mean $9 can’t really hurt, right?). And for the price I paid, it exceeded all my expectations. Like 50 new leads for $9? Really, just take my money!
For any freelancers out there, I’d say Sendvilla is a must-have.
