How does the FreeUp Marketplace help freelancers?
MyFreelancer is a marketplace where independent contractors can offer their services to clients and build their freelancing earnings. The FreeUp marketplace screens all freelancers prior to joining the network, but the business relationship is ultimately between the client and freelancer. Once accepted into the MyFreelancer network, freelancers can view projects posted by clients, apply, and quickly start working. MyFreelancer then acts as a payment processor for all payments from clients to freelancers and assists with any disputes regarding billing.
Why should I use the FreeUp Marketplace for freelancing? How is it different?
The FreeUp Marketplace is different from other online hiring platforms in that you go through a unique interview process before getting a FreeUp marketplace account. Once you are accepted into the network, you can view open projects from hundreds of clients on a daily basis. You express that you want to take the project, you chat with the client for 10-15 minutes, then you can be hired. The process of getting clients on FreeUp is super fast. FreeUp is a fast hiring platform so clients are limited to spending 10-15 minutes with you before making a hire. Current freelancers also love the platform because it is a community where you can meet and interact with other freelancers on a daily basis. Everyone is in online group chats on a daily basis where you can learn from others, ask questions, and continue to become a better freelancer.
Why do I have to apply to work with FreeUp?
All freelancers apply to offer their services through the FreeUp Marketplace because the platform is very strict on who is introduced to clients. It’s important that all clients have an amazing online hiring experience and so only the top 1% of freelancers that apply are accepted to offer their services through the network.
Why does FreeUp care so much about communication?
The FreeUp Marketplace cares so much about communication because it is the number one reason that business owners have poor experiences when hiring and working with freelancers online. The company’s founders went through years of hiring online freelancers to discover the absolute best practices for communicating and working with remote teams. They realized the importance of communication and wanted to make sure that it was a foundation of the FreeUp network.
