Search projects / freelancers: newsletters
Traditionally, the search for projects by freelancers and freelancers by customers occurs on all kinds of freelance exchanges. But they usually have significant drawbacks in the quality of published projects / proposals from freelancers.
Take for example weblancer.net . An example of a project that somehow moderated:
')
On the other hand, it turns out that people are quite ready to work with such a budget:
That is, on the one hand, projects with inadequate budgets, and on the other hand, dumping by freelancers, create a general impression of a rather unprofessional environment and working with such sites is not very pleasant in the end.
Recently, an alternative has appeared - strictly moderated mailings with a list of projects for interested freelancers.
The peculiarity is that a fee is charged for giving an announcement of a project (respectively, fans are dismissed to post the same project on 20 sites with an automatic script, and generally everyone who is not serious about it). At the same time, only projects verified for adequacy of requirements, budget and deadlines are published.
For freelancers such services are free.
One such service is TinyProj , where projects for developers, designers, copywriters and illustrators are published.
Work with the service is simplified to the limit. On the part of the freelancer, you only need to fill out the registration form and once a week a newsletter will arrive with a list of projects. For each of the projects, you can write to the customer that will automatically create a private anonymous newsletter for the project. Contact information can be exchanged with further communication.
From the customer's side, you also need to fill out a small form with a description of the project and pay for the publication after passing moderation. Further to the customer come offers from freelancers and you can answer in the form of a private anonymous mailing.
Another similar service is Folyo . He really sharpened exclusively on designers and in addition to moderating projects there they also select designers by portfolio. How it works inside I will not tell, since I am not a designer :)
I really liked the idea of such services, so I decided to make a similar project for Russian-speaking users as an experiment - TinyProj.ru . I hope the author TinyProj forgive me such a brazen copy :)
The project is interesting for me also because it is a kind of experiment to create a minimum suitable product. The site is still a static content generated by DocPad (this is such an analogue of Jekyll made on Node.js). To quickly create a design used framework Bootstrap , developed on Twitter.
Accordingly, all the logic had to be transferred to web services. Forms are created using Google Docs, I plan to do the newsletter using MailChimp. For private mailings I plan to use fiesta.cc .
Especially for habrazhiteli: the first 50 projects can be published for free.
Instead of paying for this, it’s enough to talk publicly about the service: on your blog, on twitter, on facebook, etc.
