Using some of the strategies listed in this article is a great way to start learning how to create and maintain a successful client and freelancer relationship. Although oftentimes online-based, these relationships are integral for successful freelance work. In order to maintain a successful working and professional relationship, constant communication between the client and freelancer is necessary. IAPWE provides a framework where clients and freelancers are able to communicate about the jobs, contracts, payments, or any additional questions one may have to another. Both freelancers and clients should create goals for themselves and each other, and these goals serve as a way to grow as a freelancer or client. By effectively demonstrating that the growth of the relationship between the client and the freelancer is crucial, IAPWE is an example company to the freelance community, and this company supplies the freelancer with many ways to maintain this relationship. As a freelancer, in order to perform any job, the freelancer requires a way to quickly communicate with the client if any questions arise, and IAPWE provides this with its messaging system. Additionally, to perform any job, the freelancer requires a way to access the job description and send the finished job to the client efficiently, and IAPWE provides a way for freelancers to accomplish this. The way IAPWE sets up their freelance company is beneficial for current and future freelancers, and the strategies this company implements, as suggested in the article, provides the freelancer an easy way to develop as a freelancer.

By first requiring the freelancer to submit a sample of his or her content before starting any jobs, IAPWE does a great job in determining if a freelancer can provide sufficient content that meets the standard and guidelines. In order to ensure that the best possible content is submitted, this is an effective strategy which many freelance companies do not use. While working for IAPWE, although this challenge is seen across all freelance platforms, the most challenging part about freelance work is the time required to receive payment after submitting a job. IAPWE lists out that it may take up to 10 business days to accept the job after submission. The amount of time it takes may vary from one job to another, but after the job submission is accepted, the company takes a few more days to send the payment. Because of the successful strategies IAPWE implements, the time required to receive payment may decrease in the future, and by increasing the efficiency between jobs, this will produce a great effect on the freelancers that submit jobs if he or she is only working for IAPWE.

Overall, the strategies listed in this article are clearly visible to the freelancers that work for IAPWE, and the strategies are a step in the right direction for IAPWE and the future of the freelance community.
