Manage Your Projects Like a Pro
You’ve successfully found a collaborator on Feedcoyote – congratulations! This is key to tackling bigger projects using the F2F (Freelancer-to-Freelancer) model. But finding the right partner is only the beginning. Managing the project effectively is crucial for success.
Using many different apps for communication, tasks, and files often leads to confusion and missed details. Feedcoyote aims to be an all-in-one management platform, offering integrated tools to keep your collaborative projects organized.
This guide focuses on using Feedcoyote’s capabilities to manage your joint projects after you’ve agreed to work together. Let’s explore how Feedcoyote helps your team succeed.
Formalize Your Agreement with Contracts
Before starting any work, especially on collaborative projects, having a clear agreement is essential. This prevents misunderstandings about scope, deliverables, payment, and timelines.
Feedcoyote Contracts: The platform includes a contract feature. Use this to create, send, and manage agreements directly within your project workspace. Formalizing the partnership through Feedcoyote sets clear expectations and provides a professional foundation for your collaboration. Define roles, responsibilities, and payment terms clearly in the contract.
Actionable Tip: Always have a signed contract in place before any work begins. Utilize Feedcoyote’s contract tool for this crucial first step.
Manage Project Tasks and Track Progress
Keeping track of who is doing what and when it’s due is vital for any team project. Feedcoyote provides a Task Manager to help visualize and organize your project workflow.
Organize Your Work: Use the Task Manager to break down your project scope into individual Tasks. This helps structure the work and makes the project feel more manageable.
Assign Responsibility: Feedcoyote allows you to assign tasks to specific collaborators within your project team, ensuring clear ownership for each part of the work.
Track Progress: The Task Manager provides a way to see the status of different tasks, giving you and your collaborators an overview of where the project stands. Keeping task statuses updated is important for transparency.
Actionable Tip: Make the Feedcoyote Task Manager the central place for tracking all project-related work items. Review it regularly with your collaborators.
Keep Communication Within the Platform
Scattered communication across emails and various chat apps makes it hard to find information later. Keeping project discussions centralized is more efficient.
Use Feedcoyote Messaging: Utilize Feedcoyote’s messaging or chat capabilities for communication related to your collaborative project. Keeping discussions within the platform ensures that all project-related conversations are in one place and easily accessible to the team members involved.
Actionable Tip: Agree with your collaborators to use Feedcoyote’s messaging features as the primary channel for project communication to maintain organization.
Handle Payments Professionally with Invoicing
Managing payments clearly and professionally is key to maintaining good relationships with your collaborators.
Feedcoyote Invoicing: The platform includes an Invoicing tool. Use this to create and send invoices related to your collaborative project, such as for initial deposits or milestone payments agreed upon in your contract. Managing invoices through Feedcoyote keeps your project financials organized alongside the work itself.
Actionable Tip: Send invoices promptly according to the terms outlined in your contract. Use Feedcoyote’s tool to maintain a professional invoicing process.
Utilize the Dashboard for an Overview
Feedcoyote offers a Dashboard feature that provides a high-level view of your activities and projects.
Stay Informed: Regularly check your Dashboard for an overview of active projects, potentially including task progress or financial summaries related to your collaborations.
Actionable Tip: Use the Dashboard as a quick way to gauge your overall workload and project status within Feedcoyote.

Launch and grow your business with Feedcoyote
F.A.Q.
A “Collab” post is a paid project opportunity on Feedcoyote. It is used only when someone wishes to hire people for a project. They are typically posted by other freelancers or small business owners who need to delegate or subcontract parts of their own work.
The “Message Box” is for a short cover letter, with a maximum character limit of 250. You should not paste your full proposal there. The PDF attachment is where you upload your full, detailed proposal, which should include your project approach, proof-of-work, and mini case studies.
You should not expect inbound offers on Day 1. It takes time to build “credible visibility” through consistent community engagement and sharing your work. As one user experienced, they “landed the offer after 16 days of being consistent”. Patience and active participation are key.
It will not be seen as spam if you do it thoughtfully and professionally. The key is to be strategic and personalized, not generic. Before pitching, you must “Do Your Research” on the person’s profile, “Personalize Your Pitch” to their specific needs, and clearly “Outline the Benefits” of collaborating with you.
For a new freelancer, Method 1 (The Direct Approach) is the best place to start. Actively browsing the “Collab” tab and submitting well-crafted proposals is the most direct way to find your first project while you simultaneously build the visibility and network needed for the other two methods to become effective.
