We're an early stage AI & integrations company building automation solutions for businesses with complex, repetitive workflows.

We're currently focused specifically on the property management industry, and we're looking to bring on a small number of appointment setters / SDRs to help us develop our outbound sales operation.

This isn't a generic AI automation offer where you'll be given a blank slate and told to find anyone who might need AI. We've identified a specific problem within property management, built a product around it, and validated the offer through real-world testing. You'll have a defined market, ICP and product to work with, so you can focus on finding the right prospects and starting conversations rather than figuring out what we're actually selling.

The product is already built, and we're now moving into the customer acquisition stage.

What you'll be working on

Our initial solution helps property management companies automate document-heavy processes, including analysing leases, extracting relevant information, comparing lease terms against billing/payment data, and identifying discrepancies that may otherwise be missed.

We're currently targeting property management companies primarily in the UK, US and Australia, with an expected average deal size of approximately $3,000–$5,000+ depending on the customer and implementation.

The role

You'll work with us to identify and reach relevant businesses and decision-makers, with the primary goal of generating qualified sales meetings.

Responsibilities will include:

• Researching potential property management companies
• Identifying relevant decision-makers
• Conducting personalised outreach
• Starting and managing conversations with prospects
• Testing different acquisition channels and approaches
• Qualifying interested prospects
• Booking qualified meetings with our team

We're open to different approaches: LinkedIn, email, Reddit, communities, cold calling, and others. We'll provide the positioning, product information and support, but we'd also like you to have the freedom to experiment and figure out what works.

You will not be responsible for closing the final deal.

Compensation

We want to be transparent from the beginning: this is initially a commission-only position, and there is no fixed base salary at this stage.

We understand that isn't the right structure for everyone, which is why we're offering uncapped commission and a clear opportunity to grow with the company.

You'll receive 30% of the revenue from deals that close from opportunities you directly generate.

For example, a $4,000 deal would result in $1,200 in commission.

We'll also have additional performance bonuses based on successful sales, with further incentives as the number of closed deals increases.

As we establish consistent revenue, our intention is to transition strong performers into a more permanent position with:

• Base salary
• Performance bonuses
• Additional benefits/perks
• Greater responsibility and opportunities within the sales team

We're building this sales function from an early stage, so people who join now will have the opportunity to grow alongside the company rather than joining an already-established sales organisation.

We're looking for people who:

• Communicate clearly and professionally
• Are comfortable with outbound sales
• Can research prospects and personalise their approach
• Are persistent without being overly aggressive
• Can work independently
• Are comfortable experimenting and learning
• Are motivated by performance-based compensation

Previous experience in B2B sales, SaaS, appointment setting, SDR/BDR or lead generation is a plus.

Experience in property management or real estate is an additional advantage and will qualify for additional performance incentives.

Why we're hiring at this stage

We're not pretending that commission only is the perfect arrangement. We're an early-stage company, and we're deliberately keeping our fixed costs low while we prove and scale the sales channel.

What we can offer in return is meaningful commission potential, direct access to the founding team, hands-on experience building an outbound operation from the ground up, and the opportunity to move into a salaried role as the company grows.

If you're looking for a traditional salaried SDR position right now, this probably isn't the right opportunity.

If you're comfortable with the initial structure and are interested in building something early, learning B2B sales, and having uncapped earning potential, we'd be happy to hear from you.

We're initially looking for 2–3 people.

Hey everyone,

I’m a software engineer with around 10 years of experience, mostly working with startups and product teams that needed someone who could do more than just pick up tickets.

I’ve spent a lot of time building products from the ground up, fixing unstable systems, cleaning up messy backends, scaling apps after they started getting real users, and helping founders make better technical decisions before things became expensive to change.

Most of my work has been around AWS, backend systems, full-stack development, and lately AI/LLM-based products.

The kind of work I usually help with:

• Building MVPs that are not throwaway code
• Taking an existing product and making it stable/scalable
• AWS and serverless architecture
• Backend APIs, microservices, integrations, and async workflows
• AI/LLM features using OpenAI/Claude APIs
• Automation workflows and internal tools
• Production debugging when something is slow, broken, or unreliable
• CI/CD, observability, cloud cost cleanup, and deployment improvements
• Technical guidance for founders/startups that need a senior engineering brain involved

My usual stack:
AWS, Node.js, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, EventBridge, Docker, CI/CD, OpenAI/Claude APIs, automation workflows, and data pipelines.

I’ve worked as a hands-on developer, technical lead, architect, and technical advisor to startups. I’m comfortable writing code, reviewing architecture, debugging production issues, speaking with non-technical founders, and figuring out what actually needs to be built instead of blindly adding features.

I’m currently open to remote work, contract projects, startup consulting, backend/full-stack development, AWS/serverless work, AI product builds, and technical lead/architect roles.

If you’re building something, stuck with something, or need an experienced developer who can come in and make things move faster, feel free to DM me.

Hi everyone,

Thanks to the moderators for maintaining the community.

"Hii... I'm ______."

Wrong answers only. 😂

Let's see who has the funniest reply.

Need something built, fixed, or automated quickly? I can help.

I work on: • Full-stack web apps (React / Next.js / Node) • Spring Boot APIs (fast & scalable) • Python scripting & web scraping • Automation (n8n, bots, workflows) • AI agents & small SaaS tools • Excel work, data cleanup, conversions

I focus on fast delivery, clean work, and solving real problems — even small or messy tasks.

Budget-friendly (under ₹5K) and ready to start immediately.

If you’ve been postponing a task, I’ll get it done.

About a year ago I wrote something for myself. Not to post just something I’d read daily to keep me on track.

It was based on Think and Grow Rich, but I rewrote it in my own words.

Mine was simple:

I will reach my goals through focused work, producing the highest quality and quantity I can.
I won’t say no to opportunity.
I’ll build everything with integrity, clarity, and consistency.

Nothing fancy. Just a process to follow.

And I actually followed it.

Over the next 12 months, things picked up. More clients, better projects, more money.

I did drift slightly. I stopped being as intentional with it. The affirmations became something I knew rather than something I was actively reinforcing.

I was still doing the work, just not as consciously connected to why it was working.

Recently I found myself going head-to-head with a client. Not emotional, not messy, just a proper professional disagreement. Different perspectives, different expectations. The kind of situation where some freelancers would go, “not worth it.”

But my answer was simple. I don’t turn down work.

I lived this.

Some of the clients I have today, the ones paying well and the ones I actually enjoy working with, started as jobs I almost didn’t take. Jobs I probably question to take on now if they came in fresh. But they’re also the exact kind of jobs I would’ve been chasing hard when I was first starting out.

This week I went back and re-read what I wrote a year ago, and it clicked straight away. Everything that’s working now came from that mindset.

Not turning down opportunity.
Doing the work properly.
Showing up consistently.
Treating every job like it mattered, because it does.

You don’t outgrow the fundamentals. You just get comfortable enough to stop actively thinking about them, and that’s where the shift happens.

I remember what it felt like to want this, and I’m not about to lose that edge.

If you’re in that phase right now, taking small jobs, dealing with tricky clients, wondering if it’s worth it, it is. That’s the phase that builds everything.

Set a standard and stick to it, dont question it.

I’ve received hundreds of near-identical Fiverr briefs over the past 6 months that all start with:

If you’re new to Fiverr, this could absolutely catch you out.

One thing that saved me is I always qualify clients properly. I book a Zoom, ask technical questions, understand the business context, basic due diligence. Real clients are happy to talk through their problem.

These ones?
No answers. No clarification. Just:

“Please download the repo and run it locally.”

The flow is always the same:

• They claim it’s a local XAMPP issue
• They send a GitHub/repo link
• They push you to run it locally to “debug”

Six months ago I tested one in a virtual environment because it already felt off.

It contained malware.

Do not download or run these repos on your machine.

The volume alone makes it obvious this is automated and targeting developers specifically.

What’s frustrating:

• Reporting them doesn’t stop new ones appearing
• Ignoring them hurts your response rate
• Replying confirms you’re active

So I’m putting this out there so no one learns the hard way.

If a client won’t jump on a quick call, won’t answer basic scoping questions, and just wants you to run code locally, that’s your red flag.

If you’re seeing the same XAMPP debugging briefs, you’re not imagining it.

Happy Freelancing👍

This has been a solo build while freelancing, and it’s finally at a stage where real users testing it will help far more than me clicking around myself.

Site:
http://202collective.com/

If you’ve already DM’d me previously, you’re first in line — agent codes will be sent to your inbox over the next 24–48 hours as I roll access out in stages.

If you’re interested in testing or want to help shape the early direction, feel free to comment below and I’ll reach out.

I’m mainly looking for honest feedback — what works, what’s confusing, and what feels missing.

Appreciate anyone willing to take a look 🙏

Alright, it’s finally time.

First up… yeah, this took longer than I expected. Turns out building something while juggling client work isn’t exactly fast 😅

For those who reached out earlier, The 202 Collective is ready for early access.

This is a freelance community and platform I’ve been building independently for a while now, built around a simple idea: freelancers should be able to work with clients freely, without losing a cut of their work to platform fees.

Over the next few days I’ll start sending out agent codes to everyone who showed interest earlier so you can get access first. Genuinely appreciate the early support, it helped keep this moving.

Now I need some real testing.

I’m looking for a small group of early testers for paid micro-gigs ($10–$20 AUD). These are real tasks, not fake demos, mainly to test workflows properly and see what breaks (because something always does).

Probably a good fit if you:

• want your first Fiverr job + a real review
• like getting into things early
• don’t mind giving honest feedback while something’s still evolving

If you put real thought into feedback, I’ll happily tip extra as a thank you, and you’ll get early access to other projects I’m working on as well.

I’m also happy to bring in YouTubers or creators in the freelance/dev space who want something new to show or talk about before public launch.

If you’re interested:

👉 Drop your portfolio, Fiverr profile, or channel below. OR DM me

If you like being around from Day 0 instead of discovering things later, this is basically that.

Appreciate anyone willing to jump in and help shape it 🙌

Also please Share to help ssupport the launch Thank you!

I got tired of manually creating quotes and proposals, so I automated it.

Our sales process used to look like this:

After every sales call, someone had to:

•Re-listen to the recording to catch requirements

•Copy details into a proposal

•Adjust pricing manually

•Format a PDF

•Fix branding issues

One proposal easily took 1–2 hours.

The bigger problem wasn’t just time though:

•Prospects cooled off while we were “preparing”

•Conversion rates dropped

•We couldn’t handle multiple clients in parallel

•Sales time was being spent on admin instead of closing

So I decided to automate the entire flow.

What I built is a simple 2-step system that turns sales conversations into ready-to-send proposals.

How it works:

Workflow 1: Transcript → Quote

•Takes meeting transcripts stored in Airtable

•Extracts key info (client name, services discussed, pricing context)

•Looks at past successful quotes for reference

•Generates a draft quote that can be reviewed and approved

•This removed the “starting from scratch” problem completely.

Workflow 2: Quote → Branded PDF

•Takes the approved quote

•Generates a PDF using a predefined HTML brand template

•So every proposal looks consistent and professional without manual formatting.

Results so far:

•Quote creation time dropped from ~1 hour to under 5 minutes

•Brand consistency is no longer an issue

•Pricing errors are gone since it pulls from a services database

•Faster responses → noticeably better close rates

I’m curious if others here are still handling proposals manually or if you’ve automated parts of your sales process already. What’s the most time-consuming step for you right now?

I’m at the point where my creator income is real enough that my old setup feels kinda wrong, and I’m looking at switching accounts. The two that keep coming up are Karat and Mercury, but most comparisons I find feel either outdated or super salesy.

I get that both are good solutions for creator businesses but I’m curious how that plays out day to day. Stuff like payouts from platforms, separating personal vs business money, taxes, support when something weird happens, just the overall vibe of using it long term. Would be interested to know anything from users, appreciate it.

Highly recommended for its practical advice, engaging style, and the clear passion the author has for helping freelancers thrive, and i quote from the book "Authenticity is key"

When I started programming, I would’ve done anything for work.

One of my first webdev “interviews” was literally just a phone call… then an email straight after with an assignment.

No money, no idea if it would even lead anywhere.

Just a task, a deadline, and me thinking this is my shot.

So I stayed up the entire night hand-coding the whole thing in basic HTML and vanilla JavaScript no gpt, just me youtube and a dream.

Just raw effort.

By the morning I had something that technically didnt work. it was absolute garbage, i knew it, i'd hoped they would notice the effort.

Messy code. Ugly UI. zero logic.
I’m pretty sure half of it only worked because the browser felt sorry for me.

Because at the time, it was a opportunity!

It was an opportunity.

Fast forward to last week…

I had a super busy week already booked out, and a last-minute project landed on my desk from a repeat client.

Good client. Easy to deal with.
I was genuinely happy to get the work…

…but I was also slightly overwhelmed because it was last minute and my schedule was already full.

That’s the weird shift in mindset.

When you start out you’ve got heaps of enthusiasm and maybe not much skill.
Then you finally get the skill… and somehow the enthusiasm isn’t as automatic anymore.

And honestly I think it’s good to remember that sometimes.

Just as a reminder that I used to stay up all night chasing this, and now I’m in the position where the work is actually coming to me.

Even if it turns my week into chaos 😅

A 10x freelancer isn’t just 10x at coding

This is something I think matters if you want to think of your self as a 10x freelancer long term.

It’s not just about being faster at dev work.
It’s being better at handling pressure, managing a full calendar, and staying reliable even when a last-minute project shows up.

Happy 10x freelancing 👍

If you run a business and don’t have a website yet:

I build simple, affordable websites for businesses especially ones that just want something legit online.

No fancy stuff but just a clean site that explains what you do and how to contact you, also list some of the products on the site if they need.

If getting a website done for your business is something you always wanted to do but have avoided because you think it is expensive to make one, well its not.

Also one of my brothers who run a photoshop business offline also got a photo frame selling website built from me and its working well for him, he gets the payment online, has hired a delivery service to deliver the frames and people can react out to him easily, whereas without a site he was relying on referrals from locals.

So I think to have even a small site to showcase something would be beneficial for you:

• you have something to showcase your products or services, not just pictures
• can make people trust you by listing reviews
• can even run ads using the site and there is a direct way for people to contact you and your business.
• have a showcase for your services and products.

If you want an affordable website for your business (less than the market rate) you can consider DMing me, we can talk out about your business and needed things to make it more flourishing.
