I have collaborated with so many other freelancers in the past. I know there's strength in work together than working against one another. I can remember when I needed help with one job, it was a fellow freelancer who assisted me. Also, I've been helped with receiving payments when I had challenge with my own means of getting paid.

Client's feedback brings me joy. I want to get a response from my clients whether it is for good or bad. I will always want to know how it is going and to be able to improve on areas where they needed an improvement. It is a side that I don't play with at all.

You know that client's feedbacks comes in two ways. It can either be positive or negative. How do you feel when you receive a negative feedback from your clients?

This I have to agree with 100%. As freelancers it is key to work together with other freelancers as it can help not only you complete the jobs that may be more difficult without collaborating but it can also offer engagement on sites where freelancers are hired which shows a sense of community.

I see many saying that teamwork between freelancers is important, and I have to agree here, working as a team will make the work be done much faster and more efficiently, regarding individual strengths, I think one of my strengths is constancy, I am a person who is always looking for new jobs or opportunities online and I do not back down easily, I always try to make sure that my work is of quality and presented on time.

My main strength as a freelancer is the ability to deliver within short notice. I am not the kind of freelancer to shy away from a gig because turn in time is too close. As far as the payment is right for the turn in time, I would take the gig and deliver seamlessly. Another strength that I have is the ability to accept difficult tasks. The kind other freelancers in my niche would typically turn down, bring it on and I would complete it.

My greatest strength as a freelancer is my creativity and strong communication skills. I also use the client feedback to highlight my ability to deliver as expected and provide exceptional customer service too. I leverage these strengths in my portfolio to attract my clients.
