The freelance and gig economy here in the U.S is positively booming, with over 57 million workers selling their services on demand to organizations across the globe.

Big corporations and smaller businesses are also taking advantage of this move away from traditional employment models, with a staggering 59% of all U.S based companies using freelancers to deliver projects such as marketing, graphic design, and financial consultation.

This allows businesses to have a far leaner workforce as they can outsource the skills they require on an ad-hoc basis meaning far lower overheads and access to a plethora of qualified individuals on demand.

However, the one key challenge faced by freelancers is the distance between themselves and their clients, but here are four ways that ShowMyPC can enhance communications and keep projects on track remotely.

1. Online meetings

Travelling out of state to meet with a client is often expensive and only seeks to add to the expenses you'll need to apply to your fees, but with ShowMyPC, you can meet with clients all over the globe from your home office, couch, or anywhere else you happen to be as long as there's an internet connection available.

2. Access your home or office PC from anywhere

If you get an unexpected request from a client while you’re away from your home office, tracking down and accessing the files you need is easy with ShowMyPC. From as little as $5 per month, you’ll be able to access, transfer and remotely open windows from any device so you can provide your client with the information they need in minutes.

3. Shared folder

Shared Folder provides you with an easy way to share files between multiple users or computers, so you can have all your project related files in one place, easily accessible by your client. This is in addition to the regular file transfer feature within the application. 

4. Log support requests

If you work in the digital domain, then the ability to log and respond to support requests without spending big bucks on a customized system means that you can achieve greater customer efficiency at a fraction of the cost. Not only will the helpdesk system manage your support requests on your website, but it will also give you the tools you need to provide fast and measurable customer support no matter where you might be located. The Helpdesk system is a free add-on for Business and Enterprise plans.
