Being a freelancer myself I had a very rough start with figuring everything out regarding freelancing - so I thought why not help others starting out their new freelance career.

June 4, 2020 Better user-experience on date pickers

Added pre set dates to all date pickers on Startday for a better and smoother user-experience.

When opening a date picker, in most cases it seems people choose the same options: 1 week back, 1 month back etc. So adding pre defined dates to easy pick hopefully will help the users overall experience of the product.

April 5, 2020 CRM for Freelancers landingpage

Launched CRM for freelancers landingpage on https://startday.app/crm-for-freelancers

The idea is to help new freelancers structure their sales through sales pipeline tags they can attach to each customer. It's an approach I'm using myself, and its greatly helpful when you need to find potential clients and remember which ones you need to contact later on.

April 5, 2020 Youtube Product Presentation Video(Danish)

Finished up the Product Presentation video and put it on the danish landingpage and on Youtube. The international english titled one will be online later, but will focus on the scandinavian market first, to see if I can get some tracking.

March 26, 2020 Working on better onboarding

Better onboarding is so difficult to do, but I really want to make the product easier for new freelancers to use, and make it clear how to use it and how it can benefit them.

Its going to take some iterations, but will launch first version of onboarding today.

January 26, 2020 Google Login vs. Regular Email - Almost 50% used G

Implemented Google Login just before my launch on Product Hunt. PH gave 75 new accounts, and 31 of them was created with Google as a login.

This is more than I expected, and it says a lot about how users prefer to create accounts. I only have email or Google Login, so can't measure on any other login opportunities.

January 21, 2020 Added blog to write about the existing freelance l

Added a blog/online magazine under https://startday.app/mag/ to write a bit about how freelancing works, where you can freelance, which co-working spaces exists and interviews with exciting freelancers from around the world. Check it out now, since its already live with 2 blog posts!

January 20, 2020 Created this profile on Indie Hackers

Ready to launch by the end of this month! Will start by publishing on Product Hunt and see how much this gets and thereafter focus on word of mouth and SEO.

Already have a lot of SEO ideas on how to do it - let's see how it goes. SEO takes time, so might not be the best cost/benefit right now.
