How to grow your money app with people paid from abroad
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
More and more people work for clients in other countries. Getting paid can mean high fees, poor exchange rates and long waits. A money app that makes receiving money from abroad simple and clear has a growing audience.
Ask how they get paid
Talk to a few freelancers and remote workers and ask:
- Which countries do your clients pay you from?
- How do they pay you today?
- How much do you lose in fees and exchange rates?
- How long do you wait for the money to arrive?
Show the full cost
Show clearly how much will arrive and what each step costs. People paid from abroad compare carefully, and honesty wins them.
Make invoicing easy
Many freelancers send invoices. Letting them send a payment link with the invoice can help clients pay faster.
Grow through online communities
Remote workers gather in online groups, co-working spaces and forums. Helpful answers there, and happy users telling others, are the natural way to grow.
