Description

Freelancer Talk is a free community that gathers freelancers in the creative field in a single spot to network, learn, and scale their businesses.

The Freelancer Talk mobile app allows you to connect with diverse creatives worldwide. Inside the app, your personal profile will serve as a portfolio and CV. You will be able to showcase your best work via photos or videos. Additionally, you can share your resume and relevant experience, as well as a biography and links to your social media accounts.

This profile gets you exposure and allows you to get your work out there. Additionally, the app includes a job hub, where you can browse through different job postings to find your next career opportunity. Members can apply to these jobs by only using their personal profiles at the app.

Moreover, you can follow other members or send private messages to individual users. The app allows users to post their own updates in the feed and to reply to others' posts. Moreover, members use this space, along with the social groups inside the app, to give feedback, request advice, and celebrate wins. Social groups are simply smaller communities inside the app, where members discuss a specific topic.

All of these features are available in the free version of the app. You can upgrade to Freelancer Plus to access online meetups, and to have a personal blog inside your profile. Additionally, this membership tier allows you to post your own job offers and events to the platform. Coming soon is the Freelancer Pro membership, which will allow users to get access to in-person conferences and networking events for free.  Additionally, Freelancer Pro includes coaching opportunities, training, and online courses.

Lastly, through Freelancer Talk's app, members search and find work opportunities. As a member, you will be able to apply to job postings by using your profile as a resume.
