We’ve really enjoyed using Gyde as a business tool. It’s helped our studio connect with and win work from clients we may not have otherwise reached. Some of our favorite recent projects featured on our website began with an RFP we discovered on Gyde.
Navigating the postings is straightforward and clear. The platform itself has become a valuable part of our new business workflow. It has not only expanded our reach but also helped us be more intentional and focused in the types of opportunities we pursue.
We’ve appreciated how Gyde brings clarity to the RFP process, saves us time in evaluating fit, and ultimately supports us in building meaningful client relationships. I've recommended Gyde to peers looking for a thoughtful, well-organized way to connect with clients.
As a Consultant, finding new clients and projects can be a challenge — especially in the space of large platforms where you may go unnoticed or swept under the rug by AI agents. Gyde really simplifies this for me when I’m looking for a new opportunity in the marketing space. I’ve especially seen a lot of momentum from the Email Inquiry tab where you can get in contact with a hiring manager, founder, or owner directly. Starting the conversation quickly with someone is key and Gyde has this front and center. I’ve found several new clients through this tab specifically and I check it regularly.
As someone running a business of one, I’m eternally grateful for the simplicity and quality of what Gyde makes available for me to see as a potential lead for new business.
I’ve tried Upwork, Fiverr, you name it. I’ve never found a platform that is as freelance friendly as Gyde.
They promote my business better than I can myself. Since joining Gyde I’ve seen a significant increase in my website traffic and people contacting me about projects.
I found my biggest client on Gyde. We’ve been working together for over 7 months now and they are my highest grossing client.
As an entrepreneur, having a reliable way to find new clients to work with directly is an invaluable tool. I have control of everything, it’s perfect for me.
I joined Gyde because I'm always trying to grow my freelance career.
My most recent client found me on Gyde and they've been an absolute delight to work with. This client alone has already netted me over $1,200 in design work in the last month.
Brands coming to Gyde for contract work are looking for real professionals to work with. It's the one place where I don't feel overshadowed by less qualified designers.
Gyde is the best tool I use to grow my business.
They really know how to promote their members and get me in front of businesses that are looking for SEO and digital marketing help.
Since joining Gyde I’ve found 4 new clients that I still work with to this day.
Having a resource that allows me to reach out, work and invoice autonomously is amazing, and something I haven’t been able to find anywhere else.
Gyde has connected me with some of the most fun and exciting projects I've ever worked on. The opportunities are vast and full of unique businesses, and the ones I've found are a blast to work with!
As someone who's found success through social media and now an entrepreneur growing my coaching business, I know the value of exposure. For the money, Gyde is the smartest tool I've invested.
Gyde feels like my own personal lead generation tool. Other platforms I've tried always just redirect me to LinkedIn or force me to create a separate account in order to apply for anything. Gyde gets me straight to where I need to be.
Every morning I check out the new opportunities. It's become the most valuable part of my morning routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Gyde different from other platforms?
Gyde is a platform for true professionals. Exclusive to highly experienced freelancers, studios, and agencies, Gyde was built to help entrepreneurial-minded professionals grow their brand and career.
Unlike traditional freelance marketplaces that rely on bidding systems and contract commissions, Gyde gives you the freedom to:
- Work with clients directly. We don't govern or dictate your contracts in any way.
- Work with your clients as long as you like.
- Keep 100% of your earnings.
Traditional platforms want to own the relationship, own the contracts, take a slice of your earnings, and penalize you if you work with a client outside of their pervue.
With Gyde you don't have to worry about any of that. Clients are yours, we want you to form long-lasting, profitable relationships.

When reviewing a Professional or Premium member, we look at:
- Overall professional experience and years in the space.

- We prioritize those who operate as sole proprietors—Having your own freelance business, agency, or studio conducting business in a fully autonomous capacity.

Your Gyde profile will encapsulate:
- Who you are, the business you operate, and the services you provide
- Samples of work that you've done
- Links to your business website and any external portfolios you may have
- Current or past client reviews
Your profile will be featured across the Gyde website and landing pages that coorespond with the specific services you offer. Individuals and brands looking for services on Gyde can discover you through your profile and reach out to you directly about potential engagements.

How do we engage with clients through Gyde?
Gyde Makes it as easy and frictionless as possible. Whether you apply to an opportunity, email a prospective client, submit an RFP proposal, or connect with someone who's reached out to you through your Gyde profile, you contract directly with all clients the same way you would as if you were referred by a friend or colleague.
Gyde will never try to dictate the engagement in any way. You have complete control, freedom, and flexibility to conduct business in the way that works best for you and the nature of each specific project.
We don't own the contracts, take a finders' fee, or take a commission off of your earnings.
The clients and relationships are yours., Gyde is simply the connection engine.
Does Gyde take a commission or percentage of my contract earnings?
No—Gyde never takes a commission, finders' fee, or any percentage of your earnings.
Gyde doesn't control or govern contracts in any way. You set your own pricing and terms, and keep 100% of all earnings that result from the lifetime of every engagment.
This is what makes Gyde different from every other marketplace out there. Traditional platforms will typically cut out anywhere between 10%-30% of every invoice—a hefty price to pay when you are the one doing all of the work.
How soon can I start finding clients after I join Gyde?
