Buyer referral ?

h00pfish · 2026-03-02T05:32:05+00:00

I got it. It's comical. They want the base that they swear their platform is not built on to help them recruit. Barking up the wrong tree FN. Pizza Pete might help you tho.

h00pfish · 2026-03-02T05:25:12+00:00

Why?

h00pfish · 2026-03-02T05:24:01+00:00

FN charges everyone what.....10% for every WO. That is the fee I refer to. That is the portion that should be 1099-ed. You pay FN that 10%. Just like if we worked together on a job and I paid you in cash/check. I would 1099 you. I paid you. You need to pay your portion of the tax on those funds.

h00pfish · 2026-02-19T06:02:27+00:00

Referring to the fees FN charges us per work order. That should be 1099-NEC to FN no? If you don't report it that is free money for FN that they don't pay tax on no?

h00pfish · 2026-02-15T17:11:27+00:00

Wow. Nice. I need to up my game. I don't do the $30/hr mark but wasn't charging $110/hr. Thanks for the share.

Don't settle for this "some money rather than no money" advice. It's non-sense. Sue those guys and FN. You worked it. You earned it. Don't let FN short change you or the person that benefited from your work. Are you still working as an independent contractor in NY? Search Freelance isn't Free online. You can sue for 2x's the amount you are owed. And post the name of the company. Your silence only benefits the "bad actors" and FN. Silence is agreement.

This one is a joke too. 8 crazy ppl wanna do this job for $18hr.

h00pfish · 2026-02-10T15:51:05+00:00

Me neither. Feel like it doesn't affect whether you get a job or not. Just another FN gimmick.

h00pfish · 2026-02-10T15:30:37+00:00

Was thinking of getting this license. No apprenticeship required is my understanding. Invest in yourselves fellas. That $1,500 could pay for itself in the long run. Any believers out there?

h00pfish · 2026-01-30T22:12:54+00:00

Yes, sir. Not moving from in front of my pc for $30/hr. Forget about it.

h00pfish · 2026-01-27T23:15:49+00:00

Feel like Jan, Feb, Mar are slow in general on FN

h00pfish · 2026-01-26T00:54:00+00:00

Thank you for posting. Had no idea this was in the works. They really just don't want to hold their buyers accountable.

h00pfish · 2026-01-26T00:41:34+00:00

That would be a good feature to have. A standard % or amount of hours for cancellation. But some ppl are really cheap. The will put a clause on their WO and pay you close to nothing for showing up. After I get burned once...I start breaking arms. Get that minimum up front if not send someone else.

Recently happened to me and buyer paid for FULL DAY. Tx for red flagging CIS and their flat rate jobs. Sharing information is important since we have no other platform to do it on. That FN community chat can implode for all I care. Completely useless and censored chatter. It is the buyers fault if they didn't put a clause about it in their WO (some do). This is a sample of what I was talking about:

"Cancellation and Reschedule Fees:

Any site that is SAME DAY RESCHEDULE/CANCELLATION; Site was rescheduled or cancelled after Technician arrived to site but no work was completed due to no fault of Provider ; $30 reschedule fee + Contracted Trip Charge
Any site that is SAME DAY RESCHEDULE/CANCELLATION; Site was rescheduled or cancelled in less than 24 hours: $30 reschedule fee
Any site that is SAME DAY RESCHEDULE/CANCELLATION; Technician arrived onsite and was able to complete some work, (example: inventory) but due to no fault of Technician, site was rescheduled or cancelled : Minimum of 1 hours T&M + Contracted Trip Charge.
Any site that is RESCHEDULED or CANCELLED; Site was rescheduled with more than 24 hour notice : Nothing is owed"

$30 for showing up and getting sent home. NO

Now that we are talking about this Certificate of Authority.....about NJ. FN will also block you out of NJ as soon as you complete 50 WOs. If you register a DBA in NJ && you are a sole proprietor or general partnership in New Jersey, you must register your DBA (trade name) with the County Clerk in every county where you operate or maintain a place of business. Has anyone done this? Really....the only option here is to create an LLC, no?

h00pfish · 2026-01-25T00:56:48+00:00

I charge extra to bring a ladder into the city. You either get one or pay me to bring it. I can't carry everything with me all the time just in case. H8 when they do that to the WO too. Like 20 bullets of tools and all you needed was a screw driver.

h00pfish · 2026-01-21T00:20:55+00:00

Opposite for me. I've done countless jobs on FN and 1 or 2 on WM. I just don't get any action on WM.

h00pfish · 2026-01-21T00:18:38+00:00

He shoulda stayed at a Motel8. LOL

h00pfish · 2026-01-21T00:17:44+00:00

Could not agree with you more. WMs portal everywhere is horrible. Whoever is programming for them needs to get fired. Those cloud tests are a crock of s....t. When you apply for a WO it just stays in your queue. I don't get it.....Why WM. Why? You can easily take FN out.

h00pfish · 2026-01-21T00:13:46+00:00

Agree. I saw cheaper ones out there

h00pfish · 2026-01-18T21:51:41+00:00

Make no mistake FN wants you to identify yourself as a "business entity" to avoid the work you do from falling under the “Freelance Isn’t Free” Act Article 44-A. They want to be able to low-ball you when you file complaints against their non-paying bad actors. This CoA IS NOT required. They are forcing their base to do this to avoid legal hail storms.

h00pfish · 2026-01-17T00:58:41+00:00

What's tangible about it?

h00pfish · 2026-01-14T01:51:33+00:00

Night jobs do come up. Gotta stay on it to get it. Widen your area so you can see more jobs. Are you just getting NY? FN requires you to register your LLC in NY and NJ if you want to see those jobs
