Solid leads and good advice During the pandemic I leaned more into Freelance work and learned of the leads service provided by Robert WIlliams of Folyo. I chatted with him a few times first, followed his blog post a while before deciding to try it. Once I signed up, not only did I get good and relevant leads for my web design and development business, Folyo also had great resources and advice for freelancers on best practices for outreach, prepping for RFP replies and follow up. There is action required by subscribers, but I have landed multiple RFP awards thanks to the leads service. Highly recommend for any serious freelance designers and developers.

Folyo is not for me Quotes from the FAQ: "I’m outside the US. Is that a problem? -> Nope. Folyo has members from all over the world. " "What if I do X type of work? Folyo is great for two types of freelancers: designers and front-end developers." I paid the subscription fee and there were very a few opportunities for developers (mostly for designers). Also, when I sent out email, none of them responded. The Slack community was not really alive, just plugin messages pinged the whole @chanells without any further review (sometimes just saying based on an integrated form: "@channel, XYZ Marco recommended a tool for us: -" or something other non-sense).
