Writing is a brilliant choice for freelancers and Indy is here to help you make money without making life more complex. Instead of focusing on your contracts, proposals, and paperwork, Indy helps you get through them quickly so you can focus on writing to make money.

## Simplify your projects with Indy’s Tools

### Step one

Indy Can Help You Win More Writing Jobs

Finding new clients can be hard work, but Indy makes it easier for you. You can use Indy’s Forms tool to create a web form to gather leads. Once your leads arrive, you can add them to Indy’s Contacts area, create notes for them, and use the lightweight CRM tools to keep in touch with your potential clients.

### Step two

Close the deal to convert leads to clients

The pressure is on writers to produce beautiful paperwork. But paperwork doesn’t pay. Instead of slaving over your next admin task, use Indy’s Proposals and Contracts tools to create the right documents to close the deal. You can write clear and professional proposals and contracts in minutes with Indy’s simple editors.

### Step three

Kick your projects off right with Indy’s Forms and Calendar Tools

Launching a new writing project requires a lot of information. You’ll want to know all about your client, their project goals, and their audience. Create a custom intake form using Indy’s Forms tool to gather this information effortlessly from your new client. Once the ball starts rolling, use Indy’s Calendar to schedule a launch meeting with your client.

### Step four

Manage the deadlines with Indy’s Projects Tool

Great writers know all about deadlines. Sometimes they scare us and sometimes they motivate us. Whatever feeling they create, the important thing is not to miss them. Indy’s Projects tool will help you organize your work so you never miss a deadline again. Once you start working, you can coordinate your work with Indy’s Time Tracker, Files, and Chats tools.

### Step five

Get Paid Faster with Indy’s Invoices Tool

Writing pays well, but not if you don’t send the invoice. Thankfully, you can use Indy’s Invoices tool to add billable hours to an invoice, create line items for your writing work, and send professional invoices in minutes. Payment methods like PayPal, Stripe, and Zelle will help you get paid faster because many customers are already familiar with them.
