How do I deal with too much competition in the freelance industry?

Building communication with your clients, try to talk to your clients more like a friends, don't make them hesitate to tell you about any edits they want on the project, they need to trust you because if they didn't guess what they will be one time clients

Also you need to be unique from your competitors, think as if you are the client how you will choose the right person for the job

Be good at what you do and don't forget to market your services and be patient because it's not going to come overnight or even a week, you need to be consistent

You try to find a new niche that not many people are covering, or if your field of expertise is one with a lot of competition you need to make what you provide a little different or better.

If it is freelancing then its not a industry nor competition.

Do not become a part of fools.

Be innovative on what you have started you freelancing.

Like with anything, any industry - if there’s a lot of competition you gotta learn to stand out.

• what makes you unique?
• what is something not many are doing in your industry?

For example, I find most of my work through Upwork, which many doom as “too saturated”. So I like to stand out with video - I’ve added a video to my profile and try to add one to every proposal I send out. I find that adds a personal touch in a way that many “won’t bother” trying.

So find that thing for you, and competition just won’t be a problem anymore ;) there’s enough space for all of us afterall.
