@matttbrown Nice... another one to add to the collection!
I said this last week/week before (I lose track).... its interesting to see companies put together their curated collections.
Obviously users will assume that there is a hidden agenda behind them pushing their on services. I see Bonsai on the top of the Invoices section ;)
Honestly I don't have a problem with it. I think it comes down to the whole adding value. If people find your curation useful which has plenty of other tools for all sorts of uses then why not have your site on there?!
I recently advised a family friend with putting together a curated directory for his business... (it's not techy so it's not going to be overkill guys, relax).
@bentossell @matttbrown Bonsai is listed all over the site. Header, footer, "sponsored" links. I do like the voting option which isn't present on other curated lists, but not sure how I feel about the hidden agenda.
@mattpickle_ @bentossell @matttbrown It doesn't feel like a hidden agenda, it feels like great content.
@gpat_uk @mattpickle_ @bentossell Definitely no hidden agenda! Bonsai has legal and invoicing tools, so we put them on the list along with everyone else's, and users voted as they saw fit.
It has our header and footer on it because it's hosted on our site :) The list has few hundred tools and our (relevant) tools are just two of them.
@matttbrown This is awesome. Great to see Mobile Patterns on here too. One quick thing though, Venmo isn't meant for businesses to use. So you can't use it to pay for goods or services. Sorta the whole point behind http://paynote.io. See here for more info. https://help.venmo.com/customer/...
Big fan of Bonsai, used it a few times. I'm confused how this is a hunt? Why then isn't someone hunting your pricing tool https://www.hellobonsai.com/rates? Might be why @metapickle was thrown off by the "branding" (LOL!) I appreciate the resources and have used each a few times.
So then... who's hunting the pricing tool? ;)
@stephenalan @metapickle @mattpickle_ @matttbrown Agree that's the most systematic data-driven pricing tool I've seen. Hunt and replicate for different industries / geographies please....😀
Thanks for this awesome post. There are so many useful tools in here, looking forward to getting through them all.
No issues with Bonzai being all over it, here. You guys put together a fantastic free resource, you should get leads and purchases through if you're the right fit for a visitor. No one has a gun to their head to buy from you. And seriously, this resource is fan-freaking-tastic. If you put this kind of love and attention into a free resource, maybe I should be checking out your product.
Great job here on everybody's part.
This shows how to deliver massive value to the audience
Will bookmark and return often
Hey Matt this is a great list! Going to save us a lot of time this week as we were actually looking for a list of tools used by Freelancers as potential partners for our site. Which I also think would make a great addition to your list :) https://www.producthunt.com/tech...
Resourceful list! Thanks for putting this together @matttbrown
I think our site 3D Bay would be a good fit to this collection. 3D Bay is an extensive collection of high-quality, royalty-free 3D images and we just released it as a Canva plugin as well!
I think it would be beneficial to your audience. Check us out.
I really have to find a way to start paying coffees to people, remotely. You'd get 2 right now! Thanks! This list is sooooo useful! (also signed up to Bonsai).
This is huge! I'lll be recommending it to our users. Which begs the question, how might we suggest another (awfully) handy tool added to the stack@matttbrown ?
Thanks for this, @matttbrown.
Friendly reminder from a grateful freelancing copywriter—please mind your typos and update your CTA.
@eeri2 @arttuhaho Did you notice this? Maybe some ideas for your marketing stacks as well?
Awesome design. Brilliant growth hacking. And is that session based up voting I'm seeing?
@henrikharju yeah, I noticed that voodoo as well. Not a tech guy so I can only assume Harry Potter is involved in this somehow.
Great list of tools for freelancers! I would add for Email management for freelancers, Mailbird! Best email client for freelancers hands down.
Why? Because it allows freelancers to manage all inboxes from any email provider in one tool, along with a unified inbox for those of you who like one inbox to check :)
It also integrates with many messenger + calendar + contact management + productivity apps to stay on top of your freelance work.
Try it, its free and you also have a 2018 freelancers success guide here: https://lead.getmailbird.com/bes...
I want to become a freelancer. What can you say about this site? https://writingcreek.com/for-beg...
Read it as Freelancer Slack :)) Super cool Matt & team, I will use it as my bookmarks go to page :)
