Be Your Own Boss | The Freedom of Freelancing

Are you struggling to cover your rent and bills every month? Do you wish to earn a living by doing something that you are really passionate about, without having to give up the security of your current job? Do you have free time during the evenings or at the weekends? Have you thought about taking a part-time weekend job? Would you like to be able to add additional work experiences to your resume? 

Would you like to be your own boss? 

Good news! We have a solution for you - and it doesn’t involve anything illegal or rely upon you winning the NY Lottery Mega millions!

Flexible working arrangements are on the rise. At fixlers.com, we are proud to be supporting people who have the skills and expertise we need to serve our customers. Did you know that according to a statista survey, the number of Americans moonlighting as freelancers during 2014-2020 was 59 million! They are all delighted to have found ways to earn extra money on the weekends and during the evenings.



Becoming a fixlers.com freelancer 

Since Fixlers was founded 6 months ago, we have seen unprecedented growth in requests for our services, and equally a growth in excitement of new technicians to join our team and start covering those requests in a timely fashion. If you have the skills we need, and time for a part-time job (or even full-time), we at Fixlers can offer you some amazing freelance opportunities.

Many home and business owners, both large and small, face challenges while trying to find reliable and trustworthy technicians to carry out basic maintenance services, small-scale construction work, furniture assembly, emergency plumbing, drainage, car maintenance and electrical works. We want Fixlers to be the go-to place for all when seeking responsible and experienced contractors. 

If you are in need of freelance work, you may have already tried some freelance services (e.g. fiverr), but it isn’t always easy to secure any jobs as a self-employed. However, signing up with Fixlers is easy and completely free! Once you have joined us, we'll dispatch jobs within the area of your geographical location, and soon you will be able to take on some freelance work nearby.

Why do I need fixlers.com – I’m experienced at what I do. What benefits are there to me to have you as a ‘middleman’?
If you’re working full-time already, responding to requests for your freelancing services is going to be difficult – without potentially letting down your current employer. Communicating with clients can be draining too. Collecting payment for your services, potentially even more. Finding new clients may also be a challenge, as many will want to meet face-to-face during regular business hours. Fixlers takes care of all that; we have built a solid reputation for excellence in customer service. We have invested in our website and targeted advertising, plus we have a great team of backroom support staff. While you have strong talents and good hands to deliver the best service possible, setting up on your own as a freelancer can be overwhelming.
As a Fixlers registered technician, we will strive to give you access to as many freelancing opportunities as you can take on, without you needing to compromise your own day job and personal commitments. Once you have signed up, you’ll be able to take advantage of the infrastructure we have in place. We will keep the jobs coming, and keep you working!

If we haven’t already answered a query that you may have, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us via support@fixlers.com or 888-683-8483.
