5 Ways to Make Freelance Friends
If you ever feel a little lonely as a freelancer, you’re, uh, not alone…While your non-freelance friends are out celebrating a colleague’s birthday or sharing their
Here’s What It Means For You
For creatives, freelancers, and SMB owners, running a company presents a double challenge: not only must they excel in their chosen fields, they need to become proficient business managers as well. For many, the work of running a business can rival the “real” work they owe their clients. Running a small business means constant role changes – from CEO to CPA, from brand strategy to customer support.
AND.CO was founded in 2015 with the mission of managing, streamlining, and optimizing the back-office operations of small and medium businesses, so that the talented professionals running them could focus on their passions, rather than their paperwork.
Over the years, AND.CO’s advanced back-office platform has learned some new tricks, automating and improving nearly every aspect of business management – from proposal to payment. AND.CO’s own business has grown by leaps and bounds—right alongside the businesses of our users across the globe, working in a vast range of services and industries. For each of them, AND.CO makes their jobs (and often, dreams) possible – saving them hours of busywork each week, and helping them get paid faster than ever.
Even before the global pandemic of 2020-2021, Fiverr – recognized visionaries in the future of work – identified the growing role freelancers, entrepreneurs, and SMBs play in the digital era. Understanding the shift to the gig economy better than anyone, Fiverr acquired AND.CO to serve and empower even more dreamers and go-getters worldwide—whether they sell their services on the Fiverr Marketplace or anywhere else.
We are proud to announce the first major step towards this vision, as AND.CO gets a new name and address: Fiverr Workspace (www.workspace.fiverr.com).
A rebrand is just the beginning. In addition to a fresh look and expanded support, we’re building powerful new features to help your business grow. Our roadmap is exciting and extensive, promising a wide range of new features over the months and years to come.
Here’s a sneak peek at some of our favorite future developments:
New Payment Options
We’re making it even easier to get paid. New options will enable you to work on retainer, with invoices generated and sent automatically at predefined intervals. And new personalization options mean your docs are always on-brand.
More Support for Tax Day
Discover new advanced business reports and automated tax prep that dig deeper than ever before. Connect with financial consultants on Fiverr who are ready to help with all of your accounting and tax needs.
A Better User Experience
From team login and upgraded mobile apps to deeper connections with Fiverr (and beyond!), we’re adding options to adapt AND.CO to your unique business needs and processes.
In short, AND.CO’s transition into Fiverr Workspace will help us give you more: more tools to streamline your work, more opportunities to grow your business, and more ways to get paid.
And while we have lots of exciting new updates in the works, here are some of the things that won’t be changing:
Your Data
Fear not! All of your client information, documents, templates, and tracked data are exactly as you left them.
Your Login Information
Although Fiverr Workspace is now at a new address (www.workspace.fiverr.com), you can still log in with your existing login credentials
Our Interface and UX
We’ve refreshed the design but kept the app structure and flow familiar, so you can jump in and get right back to work.
Our Commitment and Support
The integration with Fiverr means we can develop new tools faster, expand our award-winning customer support, and continue serving doers and dreamers around the world.
Fiverr Workspace offers all of the intuitive tools you already trust. And, over the coming months and years, we’ll be releasing new improvements, integrations, and insights to take your business to the next level. And then the next. And the one after that, too.
On behalf of the whole Fiverr Workspace (formerly AND.CO) team, we’re so grateful for your support and trust during this journey. We pledge to continue working every day to fulfill our mission of helping businesses like yours grow and succeed.
If you have any questions about this transition, we hope you’ll reach out! We always love hearing from you.
