Every freelancer has faced the stress and dread of having to find the next big client. You send cold email after cold email, scour the web for pitching tips, and hope and pray someone will reply to your coffee-fueled messages.
Conducting a client search the traditional way can come with quite a few headaches and maybe a lifelong client relationship along the way. But there are more ways to find clients. If you’re short on time and tired of writing cold emails, you can set up an account with a freelance platform.
In the last decade, freelance marketplaces have emerged to help simplify the gig economy and enable talent to better position themselves. A few years back, I used Fiverr for freelance work and can attest to its value proposition.
Fiverr allowed me to set up an account in minutes and find opportunities within days, even though I had little prior experience. It felt like striking the goldmine without needing to follow a treasure map to discover it.
“Offering your talents on Fiverr as an individual freelancer is simple; the platform will prompt you to build out a profile, describe your service, rate, and provide examples of previous work,” said Gali Arnon, Chief Business Officer of Fiverr.
On Fiverr, a gig is bought every four seconds, showing the scale and credibility of the platform. Freelancers can join a community of skilled professionals who are making a living with more flexibility. And sellers can work with anyone, from entrepreneurs to enterprises.
Now, Fiverr offers more features to help freelancers grow their businesses and customers find the perfect match for their projects. Its new AI tool, Fiverr Neo, takes the legwork out of client-freelancer discovery by leveraging AI for matchmaking.
Thousands of professionals use Fiverr to find opportunities and set up gigs. From small businesses to Fortune 500, over 4 million customers worldwide worked with freelance talent on Fiverr in the past year.
Of course, Fiverr isn’t only a platform for freelancers. But it allows businesses and entrepreneurs to find in-demand skills and assets at any price point for more than 700 categories, including social media marketing, eCommerce development, and SEO.
Finding the right freelancer can take some work, depending on what a business needs. With so much talent to choose from, it can feel overwhelming to do a manual search on your lonesome. This is why Fiverr recently introduced Fiverr Neo.
“We know finding the right freelancer for a project – someone who is talented, within budget, and who can get the work done on time – is paramount to our customers’ success, and this is why we’ve developed Fiverr Neo, Fiverr’s AI matching tool,” said Gali.
Fiverr has always connected businesses with freelancers, but Neo takes this process to the next level. Instead of using traditional filters to search, Neo can do most of the discovery work for you in less time.
“Customers can type just a few words, and Neo quickly finds suitable Fiverr freelancers. Matching is the biggest challenge for any online marketplace, and we’re excited to share this AI tech with our community,” said Gali.
And Neo has already delivered on its promise. Gali said data from Neo has shown that its initial release has helped businesses define and find what they needed, tripling the conversion rate of orders.
