Issue: 4 September 2021
The eZu newsletter connects with our CrewMachine crowd. The CrewMachine network includes thousands of people around the globe, working in 12 languages. Every issue will be part education and hopefully a whole lot of fun!
What is eZu
eZu is your crowd connection, a resource for all CrewMachine freelancers. It will include a monthly newsletter filled with tips, articles, freelancer testimonials and fun. Future plans for eZu include a blog where you will be able to read articles related to content creation, page review, research and more. It will also include CrewMachine tips, work from home tips, and eventually, short quizzes.
In this issue, we talk about parallelism, explain how to access feedback – talk a little about product descriptions and a whole lot more. Have an idea for eZu or the newsletter? Send us an email and tell us what you think.
