As we all know, our economy is down, and the effects and ramifications are being felt far and wide. A lot of companies in need of design or web services are holding onto their wallets a bit tighter, but at the same time, the need for good design and marketing is at an all-time high.
It’s much easier and more cost-effective to hire a professional freelancer rather than hire an employee. All it takes is a bit of communication and an IRS form 1099 a year later.
Let me state the benefits of going with a freelancer:
- Freelancers have less overhead.
Skip the red tape and the layers of bureaucracy. We’re leaner, faster, and better. On average, you’ll spend about 60% of the cost of going with a web firm. - Freelancers have a greater desire to excel.
I’m a freelance- and my livelihood rests on doing a great job. When you call, I am the one who answers. Going with a larger firm, your project might be handed to an intern with nothing on the line. - Freelancers provide a wide range of services.
Anything a media firm can do, a qualified freelancer can do. This is because most freelancers are entrepreneurial go-getters who used to work for those same media firms. - Freelancers are cool.
Well, some are nerds… but I digress.
So, just because you have to be careful with your marketing dollars, doesn’t mean you can’t get some quality work done. Contact an independent contractor (such as myself) and we’ll fix you up good.
