why 90% of freelancers struggle with landing clients

Landing clients as a freelancer is not easy, but it doesn’t have to be impossible. If you aren’t landing clients consistently, I can say with 90.2% certainty it’s because you’re missing one of the 4 things we talk about in this video.

As someone with crippling anxiety and being extremely introverted. Everything to become a top tier freelancer makes me not want to pursue it any further.

Deya you are so freaking awesome. This is some really valuable information. The reality of being a freelancer is freaking hard.

This feels like something I have to force myself through an invisible brick wall. Like I have to smash my head through.

Fear.

[rosegold.sunset]

so far my fear of getting started (after I do my research and make a plan) is social media content creation.

Reels and video have become so popular the last few years and the camera quality keeps getting better. I'm camera shy overall. Even for Youtube, everyone has a certain room layout and camera angles/lighting that's become the standard.

I know I can do it but these make it a bigger obstacle than it needs to be, which makes me anxious and procrastinate.

Number 4 really hurt! 😅😂 I'm working on it. Thanks for your videos, they have all so far been very encouraging and easy to relate to. You make becoming a freelancer really seem very possible.

I love that your cats are usually part of your video

[tiffanygordon-co]

I have to say Daya, your content is so good. And you've been helping me along this new freelancing journey that I'm on. I find it that if I just do all of the stuff you've outlined I should be able to at least land one successful client.

Hey freelancer! If you're reading this, I hope you gain clarity + take action towards your goals 🤍 progressive overload is the key ✨️ stay focused and have a productive day ✨️ PS. Don't forget to rest. Plssss🥦

[Marios_CG]

You provide a huge amount of valuable information here. Actionable and grounded. We are so often held back by fear in freelancing (and, I can attest, as YouTuber)... thank you!

[morteramicadesryne]

[YourfriendRaymond]

Love the practical exercises, so many people need these skills. This to the point value packed style is something I'd love to see more success youtubers adopt!

[antonialigeti]

Such a great way of explaining this! Love your strategic thinking!!

[sheepikabeepika]

This was so helpful Deya! Thank you :) I'm loving the content you're put out. Came here from your newsletter (good touchpoint ;))

Can't wait for you to blow up 💃

[amuchoki]

Great Deya! I love how you present your insights in a 'Literal' way.

[ashan_us]

Thanks for this! Felt personal hahaha! much needed!

12:12 This part was so wholesome 😂❤.. hey deya, thank you so much for your insightful videos!! I really love watching them, they always add a lot to my learning journey.. cheers!

[bf-thinking]

Hi Deya! Thanks for the great advice and for breaking it down into such a helpful structure. You clearly know what you're talking about. It's also great that you dont line up another video, but tell us: go out and start working. An advice we should follow much more often.😅

I found it interesting that you included "applying for openings" under "passive bucket". That's eye opening. Like many others, I'm really bad at putting myself out in front of people and just make a connection. The good ol' fear of rejection...😢 I got to know so many interesting people because people reached out to me. So, I, technically, know its a counterproductive idea. Its time that I finally tackle that fear!💪

[roxanamegyesi]

Awesome video! Inspirational and kick ass😀 literally! Thanks a million! ❤

[mohibquadri]

11:40 so sweet 💛 they're so lovely !
I also have one cat in my home he's the stress reliever & soul of our family, always brings a joy on our face by just being around their innocence.

[tusharhegde]

Super cool.God bless you with lot of health and happiness

[artekald]

I think problem 3 is the most important
because without it your freelance business would be...
...catastrophic!

15:45 was so gold aka the "the math"
