Hi Everyone,

I am Christophe Lo. I have been freelancing for the past 5 years. I love it. I am also starting my own business to help freelancer find more clients. It's similar to Upwork, Fiverr and other freelance site. The biggest difference between them and my site is that I offer the lowest service fee and most of our freelancers are based in U.K. Electricians, plumbers, builders and local tradesmen can use my site as well.

I hope that we can all share ideas and also help each other as a freelancer.

Hello and welcome to the forums @Christophe Lo

Will you allow freelancers from outside the UK to list their freelance services, or will it be restricted to UK freelancers?

 

[Christophe Lo]

At the moment, we are only focusing on UK freelancers. However, we are planning to expand to other European in a few months. Of course, it will then be U.S and the world. You can sign up and make sure that you specify your location. We will keep you the loop when it's available. Chris

It would be interesting to take a look at your platform. I hope your expansion plans become successful.

Apart from this, I don't seem to find what the name of your freelancing platform is, so I don't know where to look.

 

[Christophe Lo]

Sorry, it is QwkHire.co.uk.

No problem. I have taken a look at your site. Looks modern However I wonder why the website requires that one joins the platform to find jobs or find sellers. Competitors like Fiverr allow people to browse the site without joining or signing in. Then when one finds something interesting, one can join. Have you thought about this?

 

[Christophe Lo]

Yes, we started with opening up to the public. However, we had a few feedback to force people to sign in so that we can get more sign ups and it's working. Once we have enough freelancers, we will then open it to the public without signing up to the site.

 

[TomJ83]

Well, that's a great way to increase the number of people on the platform. Both freelancers and buyers. Hope things work out well for you.

Thanks!
