The Snowballing Method - Keeping Orders in Queue
Now, if you go to fiber and you see a gig has 23 orders in the queue. What do you instantly think? Now a few things probably go through your mind. One, that person must be extremely busy and extremely stressed and two you think, ok, whatever they do must be pretty good because obviously otherwise people wouldn't be ordering it right there wouldn't be so many people waiting for that particular service. I still remember being in Rome with my brother around two years ago and we were walking down the street and there's this little tiny pasta store has this queue of maybe people queuing up to get into this tiny little shop, which was only letting two people in at a time to get carbonara and bolognese. And we never even heard of this particular restaurant. But the fact that there were so many people queuing up for it made me think, ok, this must be worth the wait. And you know, in all reality, it was worth the wait, we went to the back of the queue, we waited for like, I think, minutes and...
then we ended up getting some food and that is the power of having a queue for your services. The reality is that if there are tons of other people trying out a restaurant or, you know, going to a certain place, we feel more at ease as humans doing the same. So what can you do to ultimately get more clients on fiber? Well, one thing you can do is to keep people in the queue until the last minute and then actually deliver their service well, within the time period, but not as early as possible. So that you can keep people in the queue. So you can get new clients and you can keep the rotation going of clients that are in the queue to give you credibility and trust. Now, I personally say this is a great idea and I've tried it myself and it does work. People are are more likely to hire somebody if they know that there are already others working with that particular person. Now, reviews obviously play a part here, but also the amount of people that are in the queue for the service also plays a part. So do not be in a rush to deliver every single project that you're working on. Take a little bit of time and use those clients to bulk up your queue. So you can get more high paying clients in future. By the way, this is a really fun exercise and test which I really recommend that you try next time. You have around 3 to 4, maybe five people working with you so that you have plenty of people in your queue, triple your pricing. So why would you triple your pricing? Well, firstly, it's going to limit the amount of people that get in touch with you because obviously people are not going to want to pay three times the price for the same service right wrong. And the reason I say that is I actually done this exact same exercise with my naming gig around three years ago where I was charging around 80 dollars for my naming packages at the time. And then I basically tripled it to $300 roughly and I ended up getting an order the very next day. So why did this happen? And why is someone willing to pay $300 as opposed to $80 for the exact same package? Well, the reality is that when a person is looking at the gig, which says $300 they have never seen that gig before. Most likely. And if they've previously seen it for $ then they are going to tell me via message anyway. But if they don't, they may assume that the five people that are in the queue have already paid $300. And also everyone that has left a review beforehand has also paid a minimum of $300. So in their mind, the cost that they are going to pay is the same as everyone else. They don't know that literally 24 hours earlier, you were only selling it for $80 or $100 or whatever. And this is a super powerful tool to allow you to break your limited mindset. Because if you are always selling your services for $50 or whatever, then in your mind, that's how much it's worth, but it might not be how much it's worth in reality to the market. And this is a super important lesson that every single freelancer needs to learn. Test your pricing, ok? When you have too much work, double your pricing sounds crazy. Try it. Ok? Because this is one of the biggest realizations that gave me personally so much freedom when it came to, you know, developing my pricing and income and really getting a good amount of wealth behind me simply by finding out what I'm truly worth to the clients, not what I'm worth in my own head because those are sometimes very different things. Hopefully this little golden nugget helped you and it certainly helped me over the years. So hopefully it can add some value to your life and your journey as a freelancer too. But I'm looking forward to seeing you in the next lesson.
