How do I get paid as a freelancer?
At The EventWork, you are your own boss. Once you accept a job through our platform, you’ll be introduced to your new client and have the freedom to take things offline to start making magic happen. That means you get to handle your own invoicing, rates and payment methods directly with your clients. No messy transaction charges.
What fee does The EventWork take as a commission charge?
None! We take no commision fees. You have the freedom to use your own invoicing system with the method that works best for you. That’s part of what makes The EventWork so awesome.
How can my profile receive higher placement within brand and Executive searches and match results?
The EventWork offers the opportunity for freelance event professionals to rank higher within our system’s match results by upgrading to The Freelancer+ package. This allows us to vet through qualifications and work experience, ranking you as a verified freelancer for brands and executive looking to hire.
How do I add testimonials to my freelancer profile?
We all love a little praise. If you are Freelancer+, we will add your testimonials from past clients and projects to your profile that are submitted during the vetting process. For both Freelancer & Freelancer+, simply request feedback from completed events booked on The EventWork.
What does “Universal Availability” mean?
Your calendar will default to “Full-Time or “Part-Time” availability based on your selection. The “Part-Time” feature allows you to take on multiple projects that don’t require full-time availability.
I’m busy with jobs for the next month, but still want to keep my profile with The EventWork. Is there a way to save and hide my profile until I’m available again?
Absolutely. Any time you’d like to hide your profile within search results, simply set your calendar availability to “unavailable” within your dashboard.
What do I do if a company approaches me to connect off the platform before the job is booked?
It is to your benefit to book within the platform. The SOW that is housed on the platform serves as a legal document between you and the company hiring you. In addition, the more testimonials and ratings you have the more jobs you will book! So don't be afraid to reply and say that you would prefer to keep all correspondence on the platform. After all you are your own Boss!
What is required to be a Freelancer+ member?
In order to be verified as a freelancer+, you will need to provide three references from your past work experience. For each reference, a short description of the work that was preformed is required. You may also include a testimonial from that reference that will display on your public profile once approval has been processed. This will give you a leg up and is an added benefit of being a Freelancer+. All other testimonials will only be added to your profile once a job is completed on the platform. So be sure to get some praise and share it with us!
