Whether this helps with payments or helps you acquire more work you need to start managing your processes.
Let’s take a look at how you can manage your freelancing venture with ease.
Managing
Your Finances
Managing your money, and your finances
can be tough. If you have a large number of clients, finding the time to
invoice and track all of them is difficult. But, you don’t have to worry about
that once you download apps and services to your phone. Invoicing for
freelancers has been made easy. You can manage a plethora of
clients and ensure that you set up alerts for payment deadlines. It’s
never been easier to track and manage your money.
Cloud
Based Documents
Cloud storage is the perfect solution
for many bloggers. Having a cloud-based word document is an essential item in
your blogging arsenal. Make sure that you share the information with clients.
You can collaborate for a greater working experience. If you can both access
your article and blog, before it hits the website, you can make sure that you
are both happy with the finalised version. Commenting, chat functions and
editing can be done together. This is something that cannot be done in a word
processor. This can ensure that your processes are streamlined. What’s more,
your clients will be happy too.
Online
To-Do Lists
Online to-do lists are imperative. If
you are having trouble organizing your client's needs, or juggling a wide range
of clients, an online to-do list is just the tool for you. You can ensure that
your day is being managed to its full potential. After all, you don’t want to
dip in and out of tasks and blogs. You need to add structure to your day. But,
you can also add invoice due dates, so that you can chase payments if
necessary. Who knew the life of a blogger could be so organised?
Use
Task Management Solutions
Did you know that Google provide a free
download called Google Tasks? As a blogger, you may talk to your clients via
email. This means that it can be easy to lose tasks that are assigned to you.
Once you receive an email, you can move it to tasks and set-up reminders of
when the article or blog needs to be completed. This is an excellent way to
making sure that you meet your client’s demands and manage your time processes.
