Sorry to disappoint you, but here in the 3rd world, "$200 for professional services sets up unrealistic expectations." well... for U$ 100 an hour you can get world-class services here in Uruguay.
I get paid U$ 8/hour (I'm not that bad a developer, but probably below average and nowhere near world-class). For comparison, a good mechanic costs U$ 20/hour.
There are several companies here that thrive on the "too-low-margin-for-the-US" market, I should set up one too...
- kls 16y agoOnce the American manager and sales team eats up $150 of that then you have $50 for at least 3 days work. Unless you are planning on having no US sales presence.
- GFischer 16y agoYep that's too little even for us. And your point is that the kind of "I need a website for U$ 200" don't know how to get to rentacoder or equivalent. I wonder if they get to craigslist, or if you could have a high enough volume with a very small US presence. One of my first jobs was for a small company that outsourced, it had an US phone, an Uruguay-based sales rep that spoke very good american-accent English.. maybe that's enough for the sales leads?
- kls 16y agoI just don't see it, I could be wrong it happens more than I would like. But I don't see how you can have a US presence. If someone can figure out that part they will have a big piece of the puzzle solved.
