Ever Better Today:
Season 2 Episode 80
Productivity: Upwork and Fiverr
Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I’m Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let’s jump in!
Notes from this episode are below.
If you have too many tasks on your list or you're looking for a new way to bring in clients, check-out
Upwork and Fiverr.
How to use Upwork and Fiverr to get help with a project…
Use the search box. Type in a short phrase that represents the skills you’re looking for. Ex: “graphic design for social media posts.” Be as specific as possible!
Review first then choose. Before contacting someone, look at their ratings and review. Look for people with four and five star averages and their experiences using the same platforms that you do.
Take a risk but do background checking. If you're looking for legal services, you might consider Upwork or Fiverr. But remember, you're taking a little bit of a risk. Do some extra research and look them up on LinkedIn and see if they have their own website.
Hire someone who specializes in the task. When you have a specific task in mind, look for a virtual assistant or someone with other specialized skills who has the experience you need.
Do a cost-benefit analysis for yourself. Look for individuals who have a rate that works within your budget. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for!
If you've used Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer, or any other platform, let me know! I'm always looking for more productivity tools to share.
