I have started a new software company. May anybody tell me how to get some work.?

Hi,

I have just created a software development at New Delhi, India for the purpose of custom application development and web development in following technologies:

1. Microsoft .Net
2. Php/MySQL

I have tried finding work from freelance websites but, i got nothing, the bids get always rejected. I have heard that even small companies in India get work from USA and UK.

Please help me how to find some work. What can I do? I am bearing a huge loss since last 6 months.

Thanks in advance.

I believe that the best way to get work is to find a problem and then address how that problem can be resolved. It appears that you may have been adopting this course of action but have had your bids rejected. In this case you may have been too high with your quotes.

Perhaps you should initially charge nominal fees and try to establish a good reputation, and then work will probably flow to you. Then you can increase your fees.

Good luck to you as I respect people who try to help themselves.

Hi,

I have sympathy with you as its hard when you start new business to find work. I am also in research phase of setting up business. But I am surprised how you started a business even before finding out that how you will find customers. I would suggest you to first do the ground work and get answers to very basic questions like How will be your customers ? Why they will want your services ? How you are better than competitors ?

Also find if people are searching about services you offer on internet. Then optimize your website for those keywords. You can go to freekeywords.wordtracker.com to find what people are searching. I think software market is very competitive. Can't you think of doing some software product and selling that. Sorry if my answer is of no help.
