Hiring freelancers is more than price. But if you check most freelancing platforms, that is what they push you towards. You can understand why. It’s much easier to compare a set dollar amount than look at a person’s experience, expertise and attitude. There’s a big push to award freelance work on price because it makes it easier for the platforms that offer it. However, a focus on money as your only or main deciding factor significantly reduces the opportunities and the outcome potential. Price is not an accurate way to determine if two (or more) people should be working together. Nor is it ever an indicator of skills, experience, and knowledge. If you’re a client looking to commission freelance work, you need to look for the person that supports your goals. HERE’S WHY A FOCUS ON PRICE IS NOT A GREAT IDEA WHEN HIRING FREELANCERS https://ed.gr/ehcnq #freelance #freelancetalent #hiring #headcount #projectmanagement

Strategically caffeinated B2B writer specializing in human-focused content. Experience includes tech (SaaS/cloud, AI, data +), renewable energy, healthcare, financial services, telecom & more. I also like books & snacks.
Unpopular (with large corporations who use freelance creatives) opinion: Using freelance and contract professionals can save companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in employee benefits, office space, taxes, equipment, and other resources. Freelancers and contract workers are often the ones keeping projects going (and revenue flowing) during parental leaves, employee sabbaticals, spikes in demand, and when teams are spread thin due to open-and-yet-to-be-filled FTE roles. We also often bring much-needed specialized or niche skills to the table when internal resources cannot. Net 45 (or longer) payment terms create hardships for freelance and contract resources, because let’s face it: Our mortgage lenders, utility services, medical providers, insurance carriers, and other services expect prompt payment within 30 days of invoice receipt. Have you ever tried to tell a mortgage company or credit card provider that your payment will be two weeks late? It doesn’t go down well. W-2 employees aren’t paid Net 45. If a company can pay them on a realistic cadence (whether it's once a month, twice a month, or every other Friday), they can afford (pun intended!) to give freelance resources the same courtesy and support. We freelancers keep things moving forward for businesses of all sizes, and freelance and contract staff needs Net 30 payment terms to keep our personal and professional lives in motion. We can’t focus on our clients’ priorities if we’re stressed, and our own priorities are being put at risk due to payment terms that fall well behind the industry standard.

Essential Tips Every Freelancer Must Know in either Fiverr, Upwork or Freelancer.com 1. Dedicate 10 to 20 hours each day to activities such as creating accounts, setting up profiles and gigs, replying to buyers if your account ranks highly, and researching new topics. 2. Embrace solitude: Freelancing often involves spending a lot of time alone with your laptop or computer. It can be a lonely job sometimes, most especially for those who are single. 3. Be prepared for setbacks: Account flagging, gig deranking, and account blocking or being put under review are inevitable challenges for freelancers. #FreelancerTips #FreelancingAdvice #WorkFromHome #FreelanceLife #FreelancerChallenges #SoloWork #RemoteWork #FreelanceSuccess

A boutique freelance platform that connects organizations with hand-picked freelancers, ready to make an immediate impact.
"This is not just a freelance team. This is a hand-picked, top-quality, team made of thee ultimate professionals that exist in their area of expertise" If Marks & Spencer made an advert about our freelance team Houston & Ko, I am pretty sure this would be their opener. Jokes aside for the last four years Paula and I have been searching for, wooing and collaborating with the highest quality professionals on the market. Which means, when it comes to proposing client opportunities and projects, we are as scrupulous about vetting our clients as we are about our team 🧐 So what do we look for in a great freelance projects or partner: 1️⃣ They want to solve a challenge long-term - not a sticking plaster for their problems. Well thought-out, long-term projects and roles allow our team to provide the maximum value as they get the know the business and the team. 2️⃣ They are focused on outcomes and deliverables. They think about what they need, by when. Clear outcomes allow our team to be efficient, productive and quick. 3️⃣ They want innovation and initiative. Allowing our team the license to apply their own experience, expertise and brain means they can deliver above and beyond expectations, creating unexpected impact. 4️⃣ They want a hybrid team of employees and freelancers. Different roles suit different set-ups and we see the combination of stability & flexibility, insider knowledge & outsider thinking and onsite & remote makes the strongest teams. 5️⃣ They are committed. Knowing the desired outcome, the timeline and budget shows commitment to solving challenges - not just talking about solving them. We minimise the time our team spends on theoretical discussions, so they can maximise their focus on creating real-world solutions. If you are considering freelance support for your team this year - come and talk to us. I promise we won't give you too hard a time at interview 😉 Picture: Just a small selection of the many amazing professionals on the team at Houston & Ko #freelance #worldofwork #futureofwork

The Freelancers' Hustle: Let's Collaborate for Fair Play! Look, I love freelancing. It gives me the freedom to choose my projects, work on things I'm passionate about, and be my own boss. But let's face it, being a freelancer isn't always sunshine and rainbows. We've all been there: unrealistic deadlines, endless project revisions, and worst of all, the struggle to get paid on time for post-paid jobs. Those delayed payments can wreak havoc on our cash flow and leave us scrambling to pay bills. Here's the thing: while we want to build strong client relationships, we also need to be smart. Before diving into a project, let's talk openly and honestly about expectations. This means getting clear on the scope of work, timelines, and most importantly, payment terms and deadlines. Don't be afraid to discuss your payment expectations upfront. Maybe you request a deposit or set up a payment schedule. Remember, a good freelance relationship is a two-way street built on mutual respect and fair treatment. By advocating for ourselves and each other, we can create a future where freelance work is truly rewarding. We can build a community that prioritizes both collaboration and fair pay for the skills and expertise we bring to the table. Let's stay informed, stay alert, and remember – our skills are valuable! Now it's your turn! Share your freelance experiences in the comments below. Together, we can build a stronger freelance community that thrives on fair play. https://lnkd.in/g9FCkZUV https://lnkd.in/gpNvAHUE

Dear Freelancers, It's important to avoid clients who are unclear about their requirements. Working with such clients can lead to negative private feedback, which can harm your reputation on freelancing platforms. I recently had an experience with a client who gave me a positive public review, but in private feedback, he significantly dropped my Job Success Score from 100% to 71%. #upwork #freelancing

SEO writer and consultant helping brands increase organic website traffic and earn more with results-driven content people actually want to read
If you're hiring a freelancer and asking for one who's a fast worker ready to work 30+ hours per week, consider this... The best freelancers usually work at a reasonable pace because they don't like producing crappy work and burning out. And 30+ hours per week is more like a full-time job than a freelance position. Freelancers are running a business and usually have more than one client. Of course, there are exceptions to the amount of hours, like if you're hiring a freelancer to work temporarily for someone on leave. All this to say: be mindful of what you're asking for when hiring a freelancer. Understand what freelancing actually is, what is necessary for high-quality work, and how to treat your workers respectfully. And if you're a fellow freelancer, feel free to share this and spread the word!
