How did you get started with remote work?

Interview with Hrishikesh, an entrepreneur helping to shape remote work

We started building Flexiple, a community of top freelance developers and designers, towards the later part of 2016 and ever since we have been big proponents of remote work.

Staying true to our model, we have been working extensively with freelance developers and designers located across the world over the course of the past three years.

Our current marketing website, remote.tools, Resume app and a host of other apps have been designed and developed by remote freelancers. One of the three co-founders is at least always involved in coordinating with remote developers and designers.

Additionally, I was working remotely for over six months, post-marriage, as a remote co-founder until recently.

Hrishikesh's platforms are helping to shape the world of remote work and the gig economy—see how he mobilizes his remote teams to facilitate this new future of work.

Interview with Erin, a videographer who found her freelancing niche

I worked as an in-house videographer for a year or so in a D.C. office. Even though I loved the people and the work, I couldn’t get my mind off of creating my own business.

Eventually, I decided that if I wasn’t content with a great in-house job like that, freelancing was really where I needed to be. So when my now fiancé moved down to Atlanta for work, I decided to take the jump and leave the office to move down with him.

It ended up working out great because I was able to keep working remotely with my old job for a while, and also build up my business in Atlanta.

Erin is a videographer who carved out a successful freelancing niche—see how she optimizes her time and plans for the ups and downs of freelance work.

Interview with Mary, a remote senior marketing content writer who maximizes downtime

For a past job at a B2B tech marketing company, I worked remotely for five years out of my house in Massachusetts, with occasional visits to the headquarters on Long Island in New York. That experience taught me habits on what to do and what not to do when remote working, which I've used at jobs since when working from home.

In my current position at ConnectLeader, I have a commute of five miles, but we've all been remote working for the past weeks. Luckily, it's something that's not new to me—minus my son, who's a junior in high school, also being here at the same time and doing remote schoolwork.

With the help of a Franklin Covey Notebook & a few rounds of Candy Crush—Mary shows how important downtime is to remote work. See how she maximizes her time and puts work-life balance first.
