I remembered the first time Skillpages came to life when I was updating my status page at my social media site. Thereafter, it did not take too long to capture my attention and attracting me into using it.
Skillpages makes a great tool to freelancers for personal and skill exposure. I do admit there are plenty of other social media tools out there for such proposes as well. However, Skillpages distinctively stand out to the crowd with its extremely easy to use and clean User Interface (UI); in fact, I fall in love the moment I use it. Not to say that the other social media are not as good; every tool has its own good and bad but I personal feel that Skillpages really suit my need.
Network with People
Now the fun part begins – you get to know a lot of great people and freelancers nearby your places or somewhere far from you; the choice is really yours. As a starter, you may either invite friends from your email or your Facebook account. That’s a really quick way; it does not work too well for me though and that is when I start venturing it by searching the people with the right skills and location I want to know and Bang! There you have it.
Base For Portfolio
Skillpages makes a great base for showcasing freelancers’ portfolio. It allows them to update the latest project they are currently working on and even update its progress. By the end of the project, the freelancers can choose to upload the final work to show it to the world. In addition to that, they can as well, share the finished work to their LinkedIn/Facebook/Twitter accounts! Now, that what we called it multi-tasking.
Get Recommendation
Everyone loves feedbacks and recommendations; I love them and I bet you would love them too. Feedbacks are great for personal improvement and a recommendation would mean an acknowledgement from the clients whom the freelancer, are working with. Furthermore, people who like your work get to send their recommendation too. Do not shy to ask for recommendation if you have friends who really like your work. Every recommendation counts.
Create Opportunity
Whenever a freelancer needs a specific skill to get a job done, fret not! Skillpages has a great feature known as Create Opportunity. It allows the freelancers to post the skills they are looking for on Skillpages and those opportunities are visible to everyone in Skillpages related to their professions. The world just gets smaller and smaller.
