Being an entrepreneur often means putting the needs of others ahead of your own: your customers, your suppliers, your partners, etc. However, here at Fiverr we always put doers first—so this week’s Gig Economy news is all about you!
Earlier this week, we were thrilled to announce our acquisition of AND CO, a freelancing software engineered to help entrepreneurs like you run your offline business from proposal to payment. AND CO From Fiverr is a SaaS (software as a service) application that helps freelancers make more money by taking the friction out of freelancing. Using the AND CO from Fiverr app, you can easily manage business tasks, track time, send out invoices, and accept payments, all on one platform. This new partnership will allow our members to take advantage of all these resources—completely free of charge! Read more about what this acquisition means for you, here.

Money can keep even the most successful entrepreneur up at night if you allow it to. This week we’re talking about how to put your mind at ease and gain financial security as an entrepreneur, even through the ups and downs.

We’re exploring the when, how, and why of saying no to freelance jobs. How will you be sure to look after yourself in your business practices? Tell us in the comments!
