Appeal to freelancers
Citizens freelancers!
I beg you - stop dumping!
During the last two weeks, three customers when discussing the estimate said something like the following - “And I was offered to do the same at free-lans.ru, dozens of times cheaper ....”
Lord If you do not respect your work and are ready to work for food - let at least others work! Respect your colleagues. Do not interfere with them to earn their money and do not roll off the web development market with your penny prices. Otherwise there will be only 2 types of performers - freelancing, working for food and large studios, working with global brands.
Creative success to you!
Up.
After reading the comment thread, I realized that I didn’t quite get my point across.
I have not so much a claim for dumping as I hurt for our free-lance. I already described somehow one situation on Habré in the comments - I needed to make a copy of the banner from another site. I posted a project on freelance. And waited. As a result, agreed with the second or third sentence - something around 10 or 20 dollars per banner. After a while I checked the comments on the project and the freelance mail, I saw very tough bidding there, in the format “I will do it in 10, I will do it in 5, I will do it for a dollar, for 50 cents, etc.” As a result, a ready-made banner was sent to my email with a request to transfer as much as it is not a pity. Guys! Know your value. You are building obstacles not only for us (studios and experienced free-lancers), but also for yourself.
