The Best Online Tools for FreelancersBeing self-employed or an entrepreneur is not easy. It can be extremely challenging to create your own routine and summon enough discipline to stick to it without a micro-manager peeking over your shoulder.
Luckily, being a freelancer opens up a world of possibilities. Not only can you manage your time the way you see fit, but you can find others that are trying the exact same thing. Working from home is ideal, but surrounding yourself with industry peers is even better. One of the greatest perks of freelancing is that it can be ‘free’ to start. Have a look at some of the best free online workspaces and tools available for freelancers:

Trello – Project Management

Trello is an excellent project management tool for both freelance teams and individuals. It’s a free web application that allows you to create profiles for every freelancer and assign tasks to them. Think of it as a digital whiteboard where you can move around projects and make comments within each tasks.
This is ideal for freelance editors and project managers since they will be able to communicate with their teams via this platform. The Trello boards can be named according to project and in case of an editing team; ‘moved’ to the relevant boards such as ‘in progress’, ‘editing’ or ‘published’. This is the ideal way to see who’s been working on what and when the next deadline is coming up.

Mint – Finances

As a freelancer you are most probably your own accountant. Freelance writers might know how daunting it can be to do the accounts when mathematics is just a vague high school memory. Luckily Mint is here to save the day. As a financial management tool Mint will help freelancers keep track of their expenditures and income – and it’s easy to use as well.

Oh Don’t Forget – Reminder Tool

This is just a handy tool for scheduling reminders to your phone. Sometimes managing your Google Calendar gets a bit overwhelming and you just need ‘quick’ reminders of smaller tasks. Being a freelancer means that you might have to manage the household, drop off the kids at the dentist and remember to submit your tax. Being reminded of the smaller tasks via Oh Don’t Forget will help you to increase your productivity and stay on top of things.

Evernote

Managing your own business can have you think of way too many things at once. Evernote will help you give structure to all these free-flowing thoughts. Evernote is a multi-feature tool that allows you to create journal entries and sort your favourite articles. With the Evernote plug-in you will be able to save entire pages, or just sections to your account.

Bidsketch – Proposals

As you would know, freelancers are responsible for marketing themselves as their product. You are your brand and in order to win some clients you have to send our proposals. Bidsketch is the ideal tool to help you create and manage your proposals. You don’t need to be a graphic designer or copywriter – this platform will guide you through the process of creating killer marketing content.

Join.Me – Customer Relations

Freelancers know what it’s like to wake-up in the middle of the night to Skype with a client on the other side of the world. Telecommuting can be a challenge if you don’t have the right tools. Join.Me will help you simplify your online communication by allowing you to share your screen so that they can view your progress.

The Renegade Writer

If you are a freelance writer, you need to include Linda Formichelli’s blog on your RSS feed straight away. This platform is a great resource for freelance professionals, sharing informative content, relevant guides and freelance advice in general

Treehouse Blog – Design and Development

As freelancers we have to take time out of our practice to continue our independent studies. Freelancers don’t only compete with local job seekers, but against applicants all over the internet. That’s why we have to stay on top of our games through personal growth and studies. This is where the Treehouse Blog comes in – it’s the ideal resource and online workspace for designers and developers and even lists some invaluable tutorials.

How to Optimize The New Fiverr Profile For Better Sales
How to Optimize The New Fiverr Profile For Better Sales

Your Fiverr profile is more than just a place to put your picture and a few words about yourself. It is an integral part of converting interested visitors into paying buyers. In fact, our new profile page has directly led to a 4% overall increase in orders.


The reason is trust

When it comes to buying anything (especially online) we want to know who we are dealing with. On Fiverr, experienced sellers have reputation levels and visible feedback from their previous clients. Potential buyers can quickly identify by the comments left by others and the seller’s level whether the seller is someone they can work with.
New sellers, however, enter Fiverr without a reputation or any feedback. They rely mainly on their Gig descriptions, videos and images to convey the value they offer. Many new sellers forget that their user profile is also a key part of this process. It’s not just a space to show a picture of you. It’s the section where you sell yourself as an important reason for purchasing what you offer.

Your Fiverr Profiles are an expression of your passion

They’re part of you, so it’s important that buyers get a real sense of who you are and what matters to you via the profile photo. The first step is choosing a picture that conveys that value you want to show. Choosing an image of an object, an animal or anything else that isn’t you doesn’t help. It looks like you’re trying to be anonymous, something that doesn’t increase trust. The best profile picture reveals your emotions and conveys a sense of the real you. Trying to be anything other than yourself is basically lying, so just be yourself and be proud. Buyers aren’t looking to see if you look ‘cool’ or if you are good looking. They just want to see who the person is behind those amazing Gigs. You may also consider creating a caricature of yourself and using that for your profile picture. It gives an impression of your fun-loving nature.

Your profile description is your chance to cement that first impression

Think of it as the opportunity to describe yourself in the space of two tweets. It can be about where you’re from, why you sell on Fiverr and what your customers can expect. It can also be truly personal, conveying value by your circumstances and what you are passionate about. The only real rule is to be genuine when writing about your professional and personal background and experience. Going for the hard sell pushes more people away than it attracts, and people can always sense when someone is being dishonest, especially online.

See your profile as an opportunity to have a dialogue with potential customers

Let them know who you are and what you stand for. Making a personal connection often means cementing interest and getting that order.

Take advantage of new Fiverr features to enhance your profile

These new features are designed to communicate more information to buyers faster, which can help you generate more sales.
We’ve added the ability to include a one-line statement that will appear on the profile page, directly below the seller’s name. This is a great opportunity to help your potential buyers to get to know and trust you. This one-line statement, along with your profile description, can be edited on the new “My Profile” page.
Profile1
We’ve also reorganized and enhanced the information on the public profile page so that a seller’s languages, average response time, and last delivery date are clear. The new “verification” information increases your credibility as a seller by letting buyers know that Fiverr has verified your email address and social media accounts. If you haven’t verified your account through your social channels, we recommend you do so. It’s easy, just head over to Settings>Account settings after you’ve logged in.
Profile2
On the public profile page, the Contact button stands out more clearly, and a buyer who has already contacted a seller will see a “View Previous Conversation” button instead.
Profile3
The new “Best Seller Package” is a great way to encourage increased sales. It displays a seller’s most popular Gig along with the most popular Gig extra. When a buyer clicks on the package, the Gig page opens with the Gig extra already selected.
Profile4
Finally, one of the most significant new features to help sellers communicate more effectively with potential buyers is the display of a seller’s recent reviews and deliveries on profile pages. This is the perfect way to ensure your profile page visitors see the positive experience other buyers have had with you.
Profile5
Don’t be shy. Your buyers want to know who you are. Let them see who you are and what you represent. It just might be what’s holding back more sales.

its really really help full for me its changed my life thank you ncp-onlineshcool

4 Things to Do Before You Create a GigWhen creating a Gig, doing just a little bit of background research can help set you up for success. Whether you are creating a Gig for the first time, revising an existing one, or branching out to create Gigs in a new category, taking the following steps will set you on the path to creating Gigs that succeed:

Find Your Niche:

The best Gig ideas are small, scalable tasks that only take you a few minutes to complete. As a seller, your first assignment is to break down your skillset into a small offering that it makes sense to sell starting at $5.00. When defining what exactly your Gig will be, ask yourself:
  • Does it take me a few (5 to 15 minutes) to complete this action?
  • Is this action or service scalable? Could I deliver multiples of it in batches?
  • Are there extra services or components that could be built onto this task?
If your answer to all of those questions is “Yes”, then you have a viable Gig on your hands!

Research Your Skill:

When considering creating a Gig, it’s important to take a look at existing Fiverr Gigs similar to the one you are planning to offer. Knowing what other sellers are offering will give you a sense of what the market is for your skill and will help you understand what you will need to do to succeed. Ask yourself:
  • Are there many other versions of your Gig selling already?
  • How can you distinguish yourself from other sellers?
  • Do you see an opportunity to meet a need that hasn’t yet been met?
If you see that there are already a surplus of sellers offering the identical service to the one you have in mind, brainstorm how you can distinguish yourself from the rest.

Know Your Value

Fiverr’s services start at $5.00. Although it can be tempting to offer promotions or discounts so that the orders will start rolling in, offering your work for free is not a recommended approach to connect with sellers. It is important to set your potential buyer’s expectation that your work can’t be obtained for free. It’s essential to know your worth as a seller and not to compromise it in order to attempt attracting buyers.

Establish a Workflow

Getting organized before the orders start coming in will serve you well. Establishing a process for how you will complete orders is essential. Figure out the different aspects of your process such as:
  • What time of day or what time each week will I spend working on my Gigs?
  • How can I set up a productive workspace?
  • What materials do I need to work on my Gigs?
These are four things to do before you create a Gig that can help increase the impact of your Gig and drive your success. Do you have thoughts or ideas on other ways to increase the impact of a Gig? Share your thoughts in the comments.
