I enjoy marketing for fun ( I work at an ad agency) and always feel I could contribute to open source / people's side projects, but there is never an opportunity. No one ever lists the need for a marketer, and reaching out generally goes unanswered.
There are marketers out there who want to contribute, but just don't see opportunities.
- Aeolun 9y agoThe few marketers we reached out to asked us "What is your budget?", and then instantly dropped off when we told them our budget wasn't anywhere near the "$10000+" dollars per month they were used to. I mean, what the hell? We're searching for someone to help with something that doesn't even have visitors, much less customers, yet. What are they expecting?
- soared 9y agoSounds like big agency or freelance guys. If their 30%+ cut isn't $3k or more, its not worth the work. Those people were looking for leads, just like a freelance developer would. But I do not know where you find freelance marketers who want to help build something, not to add a client to their portfolio.
- xeo84 9y agoDepends what you consider for "opportunity", would you do it for free and just have a cut at the end of a month based on the profit?
- soared 9y agoI've reached out to projects that aren't profitable at all, just side-projects I thought were cool. If someone builds a project I think is cool, I sometimes want to help out in a way that benefits them and I enjoy, even when their is no money involved.
