Thank you for being part of this network, and for helping us build it. The feed on Automate America puts it all in one stream. Open contracts, available professionals, jobs, products, services, and the companies behind them. And every card in it is something you can act on.
So what does that mean for you? You don't go looking in five places. The opportunities and the people come to you. Professionals see the opportunities in their trade. Customers see who's available to do the work.
Tap Feed at the top of any page. Each card has a banner that tells you what it is. An available professional, an hourly contract, a job post, a product, a service, a company. And each one is the real listing, the same one you'd see on its own page. You'll also find blog posts that open in full right here, completed contracts, and posts from members and from Automate America.
What comes first is fair, and the same rules apply to everyone. Anything paid is labelled Sponsored, every time. Then come professionals who are available now, then the most reviewed, then whatever was updated most recently.
Professionals, here's the part that matters most. Mark yourself available, and your full profile shows in the feed. When you're not marked available, you show as a compact card instead. And every time you update your profile, it comes back around. Thank you for keeping your availability current. It's how customers find you.
Customers, sign in, and inside that order, the feed is scored for you. It leans toward professionals who match the work you've posted. Then the ones you've hired before, and the ones you watch or have requested. Where you are, and who you're connected with, count too.
People you aren't connected with appear by first name only. Like and comment on posts and completed work, and share anything you find. Now and then you'll see a suggestion, like finishing your profile. It's never the first card, and never two in a row. If a suggestion shows an x, tap it, and that kind of suggestion rests for thirty days.
Here's what happens next. Professionals, open a contract and apply, or connect with the people you see. Customers, request a professional, connect with them, or watch them. And anyone can share what they find, anywhere.
Customers, here's how requesting works. A standard request connects you with the professional, and costs $10, charged only if they respond, accept or decline. Or choose White Glove. We handle the 1099s, we pay the professional, and we invoice you as a traditional B2B transaction. We're your supplier of record, with thousands of professionals and service companies behind us. When you request someone with White Glove, you see the price before you send it. For White Glove contracts, you pay what you choose, no more. No hidden fees, no memberships, no subscriptions. We take a small percentage of the rate you post, before we show it to the community. That makes White Glove a great free option for both sides. The professional is paid their full rate.
Scrolling, liking, commenting and sharing cost nothing. There's no risk in applying or requesting, ever. Nothing is committed until the customer clicks Hire, or the professional clicks Accept Offer. Thank you for trusting us with your projects, and with your name.
A network of resumes gives you a feed of people talking about work. Here, the feed is the opportunities themselves, and the professionals ready for them. Our old site had no feed at all. You searched for people, or for work, one list at a time. LinkedIn, job boards and staffing companies are officially obsolete, because we do their work, for free.
Every open opportunity, and every available professional, in one stream, in the open. This is the future of work.
Thank you for your time. Somewhere near you right now, the right opportunity, or the right professional, is waiting to be seen. Before, you couldn't see each other. Now it's all in one place. So look after the person next to you out there, and get home tonight. Questions? Text 586-770-8083, or email Info@AutomateAmerica.com for more information. Stay safe. Stay free. Zero friction.
