One time I was working for a buyer on a kind of big project. After I got the project done, he rewarded me with a $500.00 bonus payment other than what he was paying me for doing his project. I believe that one thing that influenced this buyer to give me the bonus payment was that I was able to win his trust. Not only did I worked hard on his project and he knew it but I also won his attention, his trust.

There are so many ways to win buyer’s trust when you are a freelancer. That time I applied those techniques and I managed to win his trust and thus win a little bit of his wallet.

I value a lot buyer relationships because they ensure that you get repeating work from them. They will come to you whenever they need something done. This is where your success as a freelancer comes, when buyers start coming to you instead of you going to them. So if you know how to win buyer’s/employer’s trust, you have a lot of technical skills and you have the willingness to work hard on projects, I can see you earning some big bucks from many clients!
