Freelance consultants actually own and operate small businesses that require project management skills, financial acumen, and marketing knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it\u2019s impossible (and unreasonable) for freelancers to have expertise in every aspect of their business. That\u2019s where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/most-popular-wordpress-plugins\/\">WordPress plugins<\/a> can step in to help freelancers with their invoicing, social media, and websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to improve your business? Check out these six WordPress plugins for freelance consultants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/managed-wordpress-hosting\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"60\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Wordpress.png\" alt=\"best WordPress hosting\" class=\"wp-image-18313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Wordpress.png 470w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Wordpress-300x38.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. WP Project Manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that the majority of freelancers work on multiple projects at a time. As a freelance consultant, you\u2019re juggling multiple tasks at once. You\u2019re helping various clients design logos, write articles, and solve complex issues. So, it makes sense to organize your responsibilities with a project management tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wedevs.com\/wp-project-manager-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP Project Manager<\/a> helps you self-manage your clients and tasks without the hassle. It comes with a built-in time tracker for you to keep a log of when you start and stop projects. You can even calculate the hourly fee to invoice your clients. The interactive task calendar provides daily, weekly, and monthly views of your task timelines with a drag-and-drop feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/sMYozwfxnUBlUVhLcdzSsZqdWLWAF0AxrggYFXIxDhDRT-ewrQ65myfa2xT3E5_EL3w4bP1DK1QCKS2GQ4eMnzQnC3Tt3JvUEZ3U2zr6mcirDLp1mRjoTnvqSVeYjlHz_efh7oY9fOvN1NyD2Q\" alt=\"wp project manager wordpress plugin for freelancers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With this plugin, you\u2019ll work and deliver projects in a timely manner. No more missing deadlines because you forgot to add it to your to-do list. Instead, you can use WP Project Manager to create and assign tasks faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Yoast SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An online presence is essential for freelancers to attract new clients. So, you\u2019ll want to build a website to educate potential clients about your small business. However, for your site to appear in Google or Bing results, you need to implement search engine optimization best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yoast SEO<\/a> helps freelancers rank on the top pages of search engines. This plugin offers title tag and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/write-best-meta-descriptions\/\">meta description templating<\/a>, a content readability analysis, and complete control of your website\u2019s breadcrumbs. You\u2019ll know how to improve your site before you hit publish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-BI6wuBHFyeMBy5v9wRvusIXwupthd1vM_Xy-uBTe0c_0X_4Jc4S_87T9BxmEahmfvsv8tAHsUEXgrboBW9Fixh1hfVgywLBYIxKKpVz3FOq4X414jGvWjsdpnB_ZWCaBP6-zLShV2xbICP-sw\" alt=\"yoast seo plugin\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Constant Contact Forms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A study found that over one-third of freelancers use an online portfolio to market themselves. Online portfolios are an effective tool for helping freelancers showcase their work. You can maximize your marketing efforts by adding a signup form to your site.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/constant-contact-forms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Constant Contact Forms<\/a> makes it simple to capture your potential clients\u2019 contact information. You can customize the forms to collect details relevant to your industry. For instance, if you\u2019re a freelance graphic designer, you may include form fields for the type of color, size, or design of an image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/EYkpqt2Ep2T30qPYBhkeXeCqHRfmOREI63Dn9VDDg0eFmsPrdJJReLlKprsMIXpLHYI3duxXTD8Pn7y0y1psq3tu5kzqCo3WsGdAcrR_2-busLioMlRnV207F3gYDir44K6qUUVMnkIrWiDdAw\" alt=\"constant contact wordpress plugin\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This plugin optimizes forms to fit the mobile screens of your visitors. Plus, you can add all the new email addresses to your Constant Contact lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. WordPress to Buffer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media still reigns as a powerful channel to market products and services. Major well-known brands like Wendy\u2019s and Nike use their social media accounts to spread product messages and listen to customers. In a similar way, freelancers can get on Facebook to discuss their new services and learn from potential clients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>'Having an authentic voice on social media is important, but not as easy as it sounds. It\u2019s important because it humanizes your brand   whether that\u2019s a company big or small, or a personal brand   and encourages people to respond and talk about you positively,'\u009d<\/em> writes <a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/social-media-engagement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mike Eckstein<\/a>, a product marketer at Buffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-to-buffer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WordPress to Buffer<\/a> plugin, you can save a few hours in your work schedule. This tool automatically posts your social media content to your Buffer account for scheduled publishing to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. If you upgrade, you also get full image control and bulk publishing of old posts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/zET8lBJzAQysoHh8JdpOdaKMeBqh491nGwHLBzyVDQTdUKifJ8r5nFRnn4DIxXdBsgw3tiW-a3XNVmAz4LDHg6uQu4UNkWkiBSnwzZ2QCyNAxOlvM7dNIc6kgq4xSdDcRunQtPKWF25k0-kcsg\" alt=\"wp to buffer social media scheduling plugin for wordpress\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Testimonials Slider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Word-of-mouth marketing is a key part of bringing new clients to your business. Nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/99firms.com\/blog\/freelance-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a third of freelancers<\/a> find work through referrals. Once a referral lands on your site, the next step is to showcase your satisfied previous clients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/customer-testimonials-small-business\/\">Testimonials<\/a> offer an honest perspective of how your work has made an impact on your clients. Your testimonials should provide a quote from the client and the person\u2019s name and title. A pro tip is to use quotes that explicitly state how your product or service improved your client\u2019s business or life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/ZLAALcecHg-esV1tfue0kNfm5dWPqDNjIkrhPJ7KbfP7xiZc3GILXuTso2zAGW6ei9MFfiX3fGlcgQ4zj5DaqKYvZW7W5lQ-Z2r8j8j8wsmwwCthzwUI-I6oGZ5ZhSvLkJSaZ9Kr6ck6A1IFZQ\" alt=\"testimonials plugin for freelancers\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can display your testimonials on your site using the <a href=\"https:\/\/codecanyon.net\/item\/testimonials-slider-wordpress-testimonials-plugin\/21640651\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Testimonials Slider<\/a> plugin. Choose from multiple layouts, like columns, sliders, and grids, to arrange your testimonials. You also can select one of the six ready-to-use templates if you\u2019re short on time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Sprout Invoices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Freelancers don\u2019t have a regular payday, like salaried employees. They must invoice their clients for work to get paid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/sprout-invoices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sprout Invoices<\/a> allows you to create invoices for your clients in minutes, rather than hours. In the plugin\u2019s dashboard, you can customize the invoice template to match your brand by changing the logo and header background. You also can set pre-defined line items for each client.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/KJmm-ofDuBeBAUjrr2TYClwbFkIgWWZnCAKrtMdHRXb8Zgd6KH0CpFa1GSn-nVsyMZNRL7djaPWtQcDgDlioqTHQV6bFCF0KTqjaau2rrWCp8uCh3LdpCKkOVQTHKTbGr3jzixcxFwZxvtxWhw\" alt=\"sprout invoices plugin for wordpress\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>'There is no exact format that you should use for your invoice, but certain items are expected. By law, you must include your name, address and VAT number (if registered) plus the name and postal address of the client in question. It&#8217;s also helpful to add other items, such as your bank details and terms of payment,'\u009d states <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeboom.com\/tips\/how-to-invoice-your-freelance-clients-professionally-and-ensure-you-get-paid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Katy Cowan<\/a>, the editor of Creative Boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some freelance consultants, it\u2019s a frustrating process that takes up a lot of time in their day. This WordPress plugin is available to streamline your accounting approach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essential WordPress Plugins for Freelancers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only do freelance consultants manage their client work, but they also must run every part of their small business. WordPress plugins make the process easier for freelancers by keeping track of their projects, adding testimonials to their websites, and posting social media content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more help building out your freelance website on WordPress, check out our review of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/best-free-wordpress-themes-freelancer-websites\/\">Best WordPress Themes for Freelancers<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freelancing is more than just independently doing client work on a sunny beach as you listen to the waves crash&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":164,"featured_media":26107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[139,121,131],"class_list":["post-25427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-web-and-hosting-tips","tag-startup-small-business","tag-wordpress-hosting","tag-wordpress-plugins"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.2 (Yoast SEO v23.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>6 Best WordPress Plugins for Freelance Consultants - HostGator<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do you operate your freelance website on WordPress?
