Before I took my blog-break there was a little prize draw here to win a copy of the fantastic freelancing ebook How to Be a Rockstar Freelancer. Of course now I need to announce a winner!
As Collis allowed me to give away more than one copy and seeing as there were 49 entrants I have decided to award three lucky chrisg.com readers.
I always feel guilty that there can be so few winners. Hopefully I can find a way to offer more prizes in future.
If you are a freelancer and you missed out you would do well to start 2008 with a purchase of the book, it is very good.
Winners:
- Guilherme Zühlke O’Connor – Making money with your work: The Picasso Vs the Van Gogh method
- Anthony Williams -
“Give something away for free.
I don’t mean “work for free” (though you might like to do that in order to get yourself known), I mean create
something self-contained that can be downloaded for free. If you’re a developer, write some software and make it a free download. Write a free ebook (like Chris’s free ebook for subscribers), or make a free blog template. Oh, and write a blog. If you have free content that relates to what you do, people will visit your website, and maybe add a link. More links = better search rankings, and more traffic. More traffic = more potential clients.
Converting potential clients into actual paying clients is beyond the scope of this comment” - Jen / domestika -
“When you sign up to do a client’s job, check your ego at the door. It’s their sandbox; they get to call the game.”
Chris Garrett is here to help you and your business attract an engaged audience of people who grow to know, like and trust you.
Wow, I’m so glad I got it. With all the duties by the end of the year I had almost forgot the contest, it came as a very nice surprise.
Happy new year, may 2008 bring more happiness and authority
