I've been a working, professional, freelance copywriter for over 20 years and have an extensive portfolio. I'm sorry to report that in the three months I've been registered with FreeUp, I have not received what I would regard as a single legitimate client referral. The 'clients' have all been either flakes or no-shows. ALL. OF. THEM. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a fake-it-til-you-make-it startup. Maybe another Theranos.
Hey Mark,
I wanted to reach out personally to thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. Even “tough” feedback is necessary to address where we can improve.
I’m happy to say we are already actively making improvements to address the concerns you’ve listed. Communication between clients and freelancers is so important. While we can’t guarantee that every client will be as responsive as our incredible freelance team, we are currently making updates that make communication easier and more streamlined on our platform.
I am sorry that you had this experience and, if you’re open, would be interested in the details of the job requests that were an issue for you. If you’d like, please email me at Matt@freeup.net.
Again, thank you for sharing your feedback. Even when critical, it helps us make our system better for everyone.
