Share your referral link
Sign in to SkilDesk and share your personal client referral link with a client who is not already registered on the platform.
SkilDesk Client Referral Program
Refer a client. Pay 0% platform fee with them.
Bring a new client to SkilDesk and, once they join through your referral and hire you, your freelancer platform fee on eligible contracts with that referred client is 0%.
Bring your clients to one professional workspace.
Use SkilDesk to keep proposals, contracts, messages, project activity and payments organised. If your client is new to SkilDesk and joins through your referral, you can work with that client without a freelancer platform fee on eligible referred-client contracts.
How it works
Three simple steps
Invite a new client, let them create their SkilDesk account, and work together through the platform.
2
Your client joins
The client creates a new SkilDesk client account using your referral link so the referral can be linked to your freelancer account.
3
Work with 0% platform fee
When that referred client hires you on an eligible SkilDesk contract, your freelancer platform fee for that client is 0%.
Why refer clients
Keep more of what you earn
Eligible referred-client contracts do not carry the standard freelancer platform fee for the referring freelancer.
Keep your client communication, contracts and project history inside your SkilDesk account.
Completed SkilDesk contracts can contribute to your platform work history and freelancer performance profile.
Your client can create an account, hire you and manage the project through the same marketplace workflow.
Referral eligibility
✓The referred client must be new to SkilDesk and register through the referring freelancer’s valid referral link.
✓The 0% freelancer platform fee applies to eligible contracts between the referring freelancer and that referred client.
✓Other charges, payment processing costs, taxes or client-side fees may still apply where applicable.
✓SkilDesk may review referrals for duplicate accounts, self-referrals, abuse or other activity that does not meet program rules.
