Droners.io doesn't require exclusivity which means you're free to accept jobs through other platforms as well. Many pilots do exactly that to keep their schedule full.
Here's how to make it work smoothly.
Manage your availability
Double-booking is the biggest risk when you work across platforms. A few habits help you avoid it:
Keep one master calendar for all your jobs.
Update your availability on each platform as soon as a booking is confirmed.
Leave buffer time between jobs for travel, weather delays and post-production.
Stay responsive
Clients appreciate quick communication. When you're managing work from several platforms, it's important that no enquiry goes unanswered.
Check each platform regularly throughout the day.
Enable notifications for new job requests and client messages.
Respond promptly, even if it's only to let the client know you'll provide a full response shortly.
Follow each platform's terms
Every platform has its own rules. Read them and stick to them.
Handle payments through the platform where the job was booked.
Keep client communication on-platform unless the terms allow otherwise.
Follow each platform's policies regarding off-platform work and client relationships.
Keep your profiles consistent
Your reputation follows you. Aligning your profiles helps clients trust what they see.
Showcase your strongest portfolio work.
Keep your service areas, certifications, equipment and pricing accurate and up to date.
Update your profiles whenever you gain new qualifications or complete standout projects.
