This Content Creator Earns $10K in 64 Hours With Clockify
“Clockify makes it easier to know exactly what your time is worth and design a workweek.”
– Zulie Rane
Product marketer and freelance writer Zulie Rane helps brands produce engaging content that ranks on search engines.
Zulie loves freelancing because it allows her to be her own boss:
“Having to answer to somebody else, having not to do exactly what I want to do or make decisions that are best for me, but for some other entity, that did not appeal to me at all.”
But Zulie doesn’t appreciate the “hustle” culture that’s often associated with freelancing.
How does she earn a great living without work completely taking over her private life? Clockify is a huge help — and we decided to have a chat with Zulie to find out how.
How does Clockify help Zulie?
Zulie achieves her goals without suffering from career burnout via careful scheduling and prioritization:
"My time management is more based on priorities. I focus on getting stuff done earlier in the week, as that’s when I’m the most productive.”
According to Zulie, there are plenty of benefits to managing these priorities with Clockify.
Benefit #1: More realistic planning
Zulie always checks her calendar view in Clockify and schedules the most important tasks for when she’s at her peak energy:
“For me, what works is figuring out the order of priorities — are these the things that I wanna get done this week? Then I just slot them into the times that make the most sense for me based on my energy levels.”
Like Zulie, you can sync Clockify with Google Calendar. Your scheduled events will automatically appear in Clockify’s calendar view next to your time entries.
That way, you can compare your schedule to the actual tracked time and see how long each task takes. As a result, you get to make more realistic plans for the future.
Benefit #2: Better data analytics
To maximize earnings, Zulie realized she needed to be more efficient. And to do that, she needed accurate data about her daily work.
She was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to glean actionable insights from Clockify:
“I wanna look at a report over the last 3 months — 2 clicks, and I’m done. It was so easy to use.”
Clockify generates various visual reports in real time, giving you a quick overview of your projects over time:
In Clockify’s summary report, you can even see the profitability of each task and client based on billable rates.
With Clockify, you always have a handle on your ROI — allowing you to focus on the most profitable work at all times.
Benefit #3: More efficient project management
Having multiple projects at all times, Clockify enables Zulie to stay organized and have a clear breakdown of all her current activities and tasks:
“I also track the type of work that I do for them. Later, I can look back at the month and I can see, okay, I’m, I’ve been spending about 15 hours a month on average on my own stuff.”
As a result, Zulie always knows where her attention is needed most. Like her, you can also use Clockify to balance your billable and non-billable work for maximum efficiency.
