As an american looking for freelance work, I find it hard to find a place to get clients that are willing to pay reasonable rates for skilled talent.
On the other hand, whenever I try to hire, my compromises are usually poor communication skills or sub-par code.
- timjahn 14y agoI'm working on matchist (http://matchist.com/talent http://matchist.com/talent) to help American based developers find quality clients. Have you tried us yet? We're focusing on attracting the right type of client and we'd love to have your feedback along the way.
- kremdela 14y agoAwesome, haven't tried it yet. I'll check it out.
- dynabros 14y agoHow do you differentiate yourself to clients who think they could get the same code from some guy for 10x cheaper?
- kremdela 14y agoIt's been very tough. Unfortunately I have found that the most lucrative projects tend to be those that require lots of ongoing maintenance, or people graduating from a crappy MVP into something that needs richer features.
- startupstella 14y agothe right clients understand that paying a premium for quality will save them time/money/stress in the future. disclosure: i'm tim's partner for matchist (http://matchist.com http://matchist.com) and we definitely see a difference in the motivations of clients who have outsourced with terrible results in the past.
