Good suggestions, but sometimes delivery time also depends on the timely cooperation of the clients. Some of the clients I work with are comprised of 2 to 3 people and some of the projects I have done with them have been delayed just because either one of the people did not read the email and followed the instructions, or they read it and put it off for latter and forgot about it.
Of course, it is also important at what point in the project the above starts to happen. I've had it happen to me in different stages of the projects, including off the get go.

Solid advice. Delivering above and beyond is so important for getting repeat business & recommendations - It can get pretty 'cut-throat' out there and offering something a little extra is a great way to ensure a happy client.

Matt- great advice and i need your tips, so keep them coming. i am searching for my first clients and can use all the help i can get. what would you say to a perspective freelancer who has no previous work to show, like me. i want to get into freelance editing, but have nothing but research papers to show as samples, not exactly helpful. i hope my friend who's helping me build my website gets it up and running soon! but i digress. great work. can't wait for the next tip!!!

Great post Its always important to go out of your way, and never slack in doing your best work even if the budget is not what your looking for you need to do your best if you are going to compromise your work by doing mediocre work because of budget, you probably shouldn't take on the client.
Here is another great article on freelancing and getting started.
So true! And when you exceed your clients expectations the knock on effect I have found is that I get referrals - eventually you will not have to go looking for clients, they simply come to you as a result of excellent service. ;-)
