Hi All
I'm a freelance developer. I was looking for a hand with some market research for a new start up we have in mind and wondered if you guys could help me out by answering the following few questions.
Thanks in advance to everyone who responds.
1) What is your area of expertise?
2) Do you use online freelance sites such as Elance / People per hour / Freelancer?
3) How many hours per month of work do you complete from these sites?
4) How much is your average rate per hour for work carried out from these sites?
5) During the beta stage would you work for shares in a company instead of money if the investment case was strong enough?
6) In general do you think clients would choose a cheaper freelancer or one with better feedback?
7) During beta would you work for half your hourly rate to build up your feedback with a view of having a competitive advantage later on?
Thanks again,
Chris

1) I am a graphic designer and I am learning web design and SEO at the moment.
2) I used Elance, oDesk and Freelancer but only the first one got me some serious clients.
3) I don't work as a freelancer anymore but when I did, I used to work for about 100 hours a month.
4) It varies. It used to be a minimal rate per hour in the beginning, but I managed to double it and triple it in the end.
5) Not really sure, but I would give it a shot.
6) It depends. Those who seek quality work wouldn't.
7) I'm not really sure what kind of advantage it would provide. If I knew more details I would think about it, but again, it depends on many factors.There is no failure, only delayed success. - Contact in PM
