Take advantage of these features before you embark on any project being approved, not asking any relevant questions to your client that may slow down production on your end.

Make it a highlight to get your job done in ahead of schedule, permitting yourself and the customer's time to audit and change before the due date.

3. Avoid Excess Revisions

Making unnecessary repetitions of revisions on a job done could lower your rank or trust, giving the clients the thought that you are not competent enough to handle their projects. This also could bring backwardness to your earnings if care is not taken.

You as a freelancer should be able to avoid giving excess revisions over what you have delivered by describing your job details according to your preferences on your gigs or elsewhere, state your least numbers of revisions that you allow and delivering wonderful projects. That's it.

Multiple revisions will directly result from not correctly reviewing details, missing tone, or forgetting to research. The planning stage of an article is just as important as the article itself, so make sure you are going through the necessary steps in working to complete high quality work.

4. Asking for Project Samples

A great way to know your clients' mind on the kind of work they are looking for is just to ask them for the samples of projects they want through the messaging tab. This will beautifully help you further understand their inner voice and the kind of job-done they are looking for. You have to do this first before spending too much time on a piece that might end up missing the mark.

In short, Readiness is the true key. Work toward faster payments and happier results by proactively engaging in the content at hand. Your future self will thank you.
