Karlo Rivera Velasquez
Founder, RIVERA Marketing
Karlo runs RIVERA Marketing as a solo consultant, building WordPress sites and running digital marketing for small businesses across France.
“I enjoy discovering different industries and professions so I can adapt my expertise to each situation. No two projects are the same.”
The Challenge
When 'Organized Chaos' Stopped Working
- Client feedback scattered across WhatsApp, email, and Google Doc comments
- Revision rounds unclear, no single source of truth
- Invoices sent late because they were buried under design work
- Urgent messages lost among routine ones
- No centralized project overview
“I was spending my mornings just trying to figure out where things stood. Who's waiting for a mockup? Did I send that invoice?”
Karlo nearly missed a high-value e-commerce deliverable with feedback scattered across multiple platforms.
“That was the moment I realized I couldn't scale this way. I was one forgotten message away from losing a client.”
The Search
Why Taskip
“I looked at a lot of tools. Some were built for big teams with layers I don't need. Others were basically glorified to-do lists.”
Karlo needed one unified system combining CRM, project tracking, invoicing, communication, and a client portal, designed for how agencies actually work with clients.
The Solution
How RIVERA Marketing Uses Taskip
1.Structured Client Onboarding
- Built-in intake forms collect client briefs directly within the platform
- Business description, goals, preferences, and content attach automatically to the project
- Zero copy-pasting, no lost information
2.Clear Project Visibility
- Pipeline stages: Discovery → Design → Development → Revisions → Launch
“I open Taskip in the morning and I can see everything, who needs revision, who's waiting for launch, who just came in. That used to take 30 minutes across multiple apps. Now it takes 10 seconds.”
3.Professional Client Portal
- Non-tech-savvy clients access a branded portal
- Check project status, download deliverables, leave feedback, view invoices
- Replaced dozens of scattered WhatsApp messages per project
“My clients used to ask 'where are we at?' two or three times a week. Now they just check the portal. One told me it feels like working with a big agency.”
4.Automated & Faster Invoicing
- Invoices generated directly from the project with online payment
- Recurring invoices automated for maintenance clients
“Invoicing used to be a weekend chore. Now it takes two clicks and it's done.”

In Their Own Words
Final Word from Karlo
“Before Taskip, I was a good web designer with a messy backend. Now my process matches the quality of my work.”
“Taskip gave me back the time I was wasting on admin so I could focus on what I actually love, building websites for small businesses.”
“It's not just a tool, it's the backbone of how I run my agency now.”
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How did Rivera Marketing double its client capacity?
By consolidating Trello, Google Sheets, Google Forms, and WhatsApp into Taskip, Karlo cut 30-minute multi-app mornings down to a 10-second dashboard check and automated his invoicing. That freed up 5+ hours every week, enough for his solo consultancy to grow from 4 to 8 active projects without hiring anyone.
Can a solo consultant use Taskip?
Yes. Rivera Marketing is a one-person agency, and Taskip replaced four separate tools with a single workspace covering CRM, projects, invoicing, and a branded client portal. As Karlo puts it, one client told him the portal "feels like working with a big agency", while he stays solo.
What tools did Rivera Marketing replace with Taskip?
Four tools: Trello for project tracking, Google Sheets for invoicing, Google Forms for client intake, and WhatsApp for client communication. All of it now runs inside Taskip, with intake forms, pipeline stages, online payments, and a client portal in one place.
