A New Ajeva is Coming!
Ever since we launched this current beta version of Ajeva, we’ve learned a lot working with the wonderful users we have. Since the past several months, we’ve worked hard on a brand new Ajeva, and we’re now very close to the launch.
Before we launch however, I wanted to write and talk about a few things:
1. A Different Marketplace
We are launching a new Ajeva that will help us take further our vision for what an online services marketplace should be. We know that there are now many choices for a freelance marketplace. So, what makes us different? Instead of telling you about it now, I’d love to show you – very soon. But I’ll give you a hint. It begins with Quality. We are moving towards creating a marketplace focused on quality. The details of this will be seen after launch, and on a continual progression.
2. Closed Beta
Since we launched, we have been open for anyone to sign up, and now we have close to 6000 users. But after launch of the New Ajeva, we are actually taking a step back and closing our site to invited users only. If you already have an account, you’ll be able to access the New Ajeva right away. Any new users will be by invitation only.
Why are we doing this? It again goes back to the hint from the first point. We are focusing on quality, and would like to follow a controlled growth from here on out. After launch, we will first be spending a LOT more time getting to know our existing users, and having conversations. Only after we feel we are ready, we will be inviting new users to join us as we can.
3. Conversations
After launch, we will be having a lot more conversations with all of our users. Expect to hear from us, and we look forward to getting to know each and every one of you personally.
4. Service
Working across the globe can be hard, so we want to be there for you at every step of the way. We will be providing a lot more one-on-one level of services to you as a Service Expert, and a Buyer. To achieve the best level of quality for our marketplace, we feel it is necessary to share our experience and best practices one-on-one with our users, and help them make the best results possible from their outsourcing relationships. Think of us as your partner – here to support you fully in your outsourcing relationships.
5. More Jobs
A very important part of a marketplace is of course the work opportunities that are available. We have had over 150 opportunities in the past year, but we will be working hard to bring you a lot more quality jobs with the new Ajeva.
So, when is the new Ajeva launch coming? Sooner than you may think. I will try to post some screenshots or previews of the new version as I can.
Stay tuned, and stay engaged. Talk to us about your outsourcing needs – we are here to help.
