MyZoox is not just a website; MyZoox is also a movement. We are trying to make MyZoox the first ever community where people can buy and sell any service possible from each other in a robust and protected community, all while keeping things friendly and simple enough for a child to use. We have kept things simple, but we have also included all the advanced functionalities you could hope for, such as: a project management system, ratings & feedback, profiles with the ability to display pictures and videos, and a payment gateway, just to name a few.
Who is MyZoox designed for?
MyZoox is mainly designed for individual freelancers, but we do welcome small businesses as well.
How do I change or update my registration information?
You may update your registration information in "Manage Your Account" section of your admin. You can find this on the right hand side of your admin.
What does the name MyZoox mean?
Zooxanthellae, commonly called zoox for short, is a microscopic algae that lives in a symbiotic relationship with coral in some coral reefs. Without the energy the zoox generate for coral, it would be impossible for individual corals to grow, connect, and build the great coral reefs of the world. Likewise, entering into a symbiotic relationship with MyZoox.com will enable an individual to build networks, or reefs, by using his or her own skills and knowledge to provide services to the world. Even though, zoox is really microscopic, we use bigger algae in our logo, so you all will be able to see it without a microscope!
How does MyZoox work?
MyZoox is very easy to use. First, you must register separately as an employer or a service provider.
If you login as an employer you can search or browse through service providers for free, or you can post a project to receive bids from service providers & choose the best bid for free.
After you choose the Service Provider you want to work with, you must ask them to upload a Project Agreement that outlines the exact agreement you two have made with each other (including price & project milestones, etc.). The project will begin once you accept the Project Agreement they have uploaded (done from "My Admin").
Finally, you will pay your service provider (from "My Admin"), and leave a feedback rating & comment for them as well to help other users on MyZoox decide if they would be willing to hire this provider for a similar project.
How much does MyZoox cost to use?
MyZoox is free to search, browse, post, & bid for projects. It is
totally free for an employer to purchase services on MyZoox as well. We
do offer a premium membership for service providers that want to
purchase a "featured profile".
Service providers will also have to
purchase Bid Pax if they use more than the standard 30 bids/month.
Upgrading to a "featured profile" will give the service provider 100
bids/month, & are only subject to a 5% transaction fee instead of the standard 10% transaction fee. Service providers will also be able to bid on projects when employers restrict bidding to only "featured members".
If an employer wants to upgrade a project listing to a
“Featured” or “Urgent” project, then they will have to pay a fee to do so.
What is the "My Admin" pg all about?
The "My Admin" page is the central command area of the MyZoox website.
"My Admin" for employers:
From this page, employers can post and edit projects, view quotes, communicate with service providers, manage Invoices, give and check feedback, & view and modify account information. The Friends Network is also accessible through the "My Admin" page.
"My Admin" for service providers:
