Good hackers don't need your services as badly as bad hackers do. If you focus on quality hackers, I think you'll need to drop your price.
Ten percent is reasonable if you provide a steady stream of work for hackers who don't have a clientbase. However, I have the impression that you're specifically trying to cater to gifted hackers, who presumably already have an existing clientbase or a robust network.
- antoviaque 15y agoA lot of good hackers may have a good network and existing client base, but in our experience it's not always the case. You have good hackers who work in a cubicle because they don't want to tackle that part; hacker freelancers who don't want/like to do the necessary legwork to maintain a steady stream of clients... Also, as mentioned below - even if you already have a good client base, applying allows you to extend your market - you can always evaluate the offers on a case per case basis, and see if the % cut is worth it. You get more options. But you may have a point - it's quite possible that some client/hackers profiles will require less work from us than others.
- lucisferre 15y agoParticularly right now. I can see using your service for the convenience factor, but I can't imagine a lot of companies or contractors being willing to accept a 10% surcharge on everything. I'd consider making your costs more fixed if possible.
