yeah, we have plenty of places for freelancers online which are essencially a race to the bottom on rate, a lot of buyers are looking to compare on rate, most sellers that sell at a premium would at least like buyers to give them the time of day to hear what that premium will get them.
- zaidf 16y agoI've thought about this idea and 3 things should help: 1. we'll have a min. hourly rate of $40/hr. 2. by making it phone-based, we will be filtering out most non-US programmers 3. we intend to charge $2-5/lead once we get traction. This will probably make it unaffordable for folks that only compete on price. I really don't want to attract elance/rentacoder-type audience which only cares about cost. My experience as a freelancer AND client has shown that you get what you pay for. I'd like higher end clients to match with higher quality coders.
- dkokelley 16y ago2. by making it phone-based, we will be filtering out most non-US programmers I think you underestimate the capacities of non-US programmers. The international shops (ie. the coders from India and Singapore who can charge a fraction of what a US programmer would need to) usually have access to great VOIP and 24/7 availability.
