Freelance prospecting · Practical guide
A niche is a decision about the clients and problems you want to learn deeply, not a permanent label.
Why this matters
A niche is a decision about the clients and problems you want to learn deeply, not a permanent label.
Test it against real conversations, portfolio evidence and the work you want to repeat.
Do not choose a niche solely because it sounds attractive if you cannot explain the client value.

Common question
No. Dealokr helps protect the commercial steps of a freelance deal through clear terms, a protected payment journey via the configured provider, protected delivery and approval. Legal, tax and accounting obligations remain those of the parties.
Keep the relevant terms, the version or event in question, the client response and the next agreed action together so the timeline can be understood later.
Protect the next deal
Dealokr helps reduce the risk of starting work without a protected payment journey or handing over final files too early. Stripe Connect handles payments where configured; Dealokr connects the payment state to protected delivery and validation without holding client funds or replacing professional advice.
