Simply e-mail or phone them asking how their new project is coming along that you completed for them. Many times they will say something along the lines of "oh that reminds me, we wanted to add 'so-and-so' to the site, whats your hourly rate again?" (if you're a web designer) or something like "Great, actually we have another project in mind, whats your quote for the following..." Sometimes you can just do "Cold Calls" basically emailing/calling your clients and asking them if they need more work. I will explain a proper way to do a "cold call" in a future article here soon. Hope that clears it up! @Joseph: Thats one way for sure. Simply e-mail or phone them asking how their new project is coming along that you completed for them.
