Optimising your freelance tech starter kit
Ben Gallagher from Full Scope Freelancer understands Maya’s ‘shiny thing’ problem.
After all, he’s worked in audio for years, and seen plenty of ‘all the gear, no idea’ wannabees. who have a rig like national radio broadcasters, but haven’t quite finished writing their first song yet…
When it comes to software, exactly the same thing can happen: every shiny new app promises the earth, and maybe it really delivers. Except you still have to evaluate it and choose it from the competition, install it, learn to use it, and integrate it with what you’ve already got. And we have all bought tools and courses and assets that we never get any value from, because we never find time to even see what they can do for us…
Oh, and by that time the free trial is up, and you have to pay for it as well.
This is a huge challenge, especially if you’re starting a new business in the bootstrapped independent way, just like Ben and Maya. But luckily this is one problem which Ben solved for himself. and is now making available for other freelancers and microbusinesses, by releasing Full Scope Freelancer.
It’s an app - full of apps 😎
Everything you need, to get your business / side hustle / practice project off the ground, and up and running. From billing and budgeting, to social media, CRM, research, memberships, even a website presence, it’s all in there… For a fraction of the cost of one of these tools, you can have the lot. Even better, they all work together smoothly, with no more time figuring out APIs and webhooks.
Maya is just waiting for them to add the time travel app, so she can send this back to herself 6 years ago, when she started on her freelancing journey. But hopefully that’s on the roadmap for 2024.
What’s on YOUR roadmap for 2024, and what do you need to build it?
