I get a lot of people, prospective clients and just general members of the public or even past clients and contacts etc, ask me for help and or advice on doing something online when it comes to digital marketing and doing something specific. And or they ask for something which you can provide to them, some freelance service of some kind. Whether on here or just in business in life in general you know. And it wasn't something I was expecting when I first started out freelancing. Although I did know I'd obviously get good feedback from people, thanks, praise etc for doing the work and or for doing a good job for them.
And that's a great thing. But when it comes to actually freelancing, you're doing something for them which can help them to advance or succeed somehow online. Whether it's some SEO service or some SMM service or something else altogether; video creation, content writing, whatever! By doing that for them, that is helping them to grow and to find success in their online endeavors! 
And it's just cool when you see that happening you know? As a freelancer, when you hear about how your client has found some success somehow from some social media site they've been focusing on. When you've done some promotional work for them on that site or something that helped them too. When they tell you about their improved traffic and earnings stats. And I have to be honest, I do hear it with a little enviousness lol. But I hear it with gladness too, glad for them and that it was me that caused that!
And that is actually quite a good feeling. I ain't even going try to sugar coat it. God damn it does feel good to see people on top! To see the people I have worked for succeeding especially! And especially so if some of their success is attributed to me and the work I've done for them you know?
This is a good reason to try not to burn your bridges with past clients and keep them under your belt if you know what I mean! Basically, just sending them the odd courtesy message to see how they are can be enough to keep bridges open. Sometimes they might tell you that they're not doing that well or don't need anything else right now.
But if you have thousands of past customers that have left you a good rating on here or anywhere else for that matter, those can be targeted like this and occasionally, you may get one that says to you how they are doing well in some area, or even, that what you have done for them got them off to a flying start.
Well well done to you! That's what it's all about right?
How your Clients Success is Your Success over and over again
And this makes a great point too. If you've helped someone to find some success online. You can really capitalize on that and use it to your advantage. Think about it, you could create blog posts about your clients and how you've helped them to find some success which in turn, would bring you more success in doing that from the people that read those posts.
But other peoples success, is YOUR success! And as a freelancer or even as a business, you can use that clients success as a springboard to even more success for your own business. Not to mention more sales from them for reaching out to them with a courtesy message and from those that read those success stories on your blog and social media pages too. It's a no brainer! I need to do more of this myself!
Have you helped people to find success online?
Have any of your past clients told you about their success because of work you done for them?
Do you reach out to past clients in this way with a courtesy message to see how they're doing?
Do you use your clients success, to find even more success?
To your success!
Mike.
