As a freelancer, it’s important for you and your clients to understand each other. You need to understand what they need and when they need it by. But it also helps for your clients to understand your work process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The article below talks about writing out a document to let potential clients know how you work, so they know more about your process and your hours. This helps communication and keeps things running smoother on both sides. Read more about it below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a solid post from Dean at WP Buffs, who makes the case for freelancers to set out a \u201chow I work\u201d document which sets client expectations. Proactively setting these expectations lets you as the contractor define when you\u2019re working, when you\u2019re available, and how clients can get in touch with you. With these expectations set, most clients will respect the boundaries, won\u2019t have a problem with you not getting back to them at the weekend, and are thus much more likely to have a great experience with you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
