Wanted: Freelance Collective Members
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009
Hello all, and thanks for checking out Podcast for Freelancers. I have been wanting to set up a kind of collaborative team / collective of freelancers for a while to put together essentially an agency of freelance workers.
I think if we could build a team of freelance:
- user interface / front end designers
- front end coders
- developers (Ruby or PHP)
- iphone / mac developers
- SEM / SEO marketers
- Copywriters
Then we could mount a serious challenge to any large agency, with the benefits of having a team of skilled, hard working & talented freelancers.
How will it work?
Firstly, we’ll set-up a nifty site advertising our work (as a group) and availability for hire e.t.c, just like any other agency. This site will act as our main spear-head for marketing, and gaining new clients. I will act as project manager / designer as needed.
On top of client work, we will also work on inhouse projects (such as web apps, iphone apps e.t.c) with a view to sharing profits & revenue between the team. As we will have such a full and great team, we’ll be able to make some really awesome apps and projects. We’ll start with some that we’d like to have ourselves, and take it from there. I have several ideas I feel would work well as web apps, and would love to see these pursued.
Why join up?
In addition to getting some extra income from the client projects, you’ll also get to blog on the site and build up a profile for yourself. Each team member will get a section on the site to tell people about them and their respective companies.
I think it will be a great opportunity to join with several other talented consultants, and together create something really worthwhile. Its got bags of potential, and everything is totally flexible.
Anyway, if your interested in finding out more, send the following to hello@podcastforfreelancers.com:
