ok i want to start a new website and it about freelancer , like elance , getafreelancer , so my question is do i have to do some legal process for it or i could just buy a good script , manage stuff , do marketing and make little money ? i am all ready to start it but i need to know if i have to take some legal steps for it ?
It depends on in what couintry You are located and how much users will be at Your website(a lot users = a lot of money, so, don't forget about taxes)
So, the best way is to start up Your project without any legal processes, and when Your freelance website will make a real profit, you will register You project as legal entity
From my point of view as a freelancer what will be good for me in your site that others don't have ? Bigger budgets clients ? Anything else ?
Please update me as i have a site about job and careers. I also direct people to freelance projects. My site is quite new too... about a month only. If your site have affiliate program... i will like to sign up. thanks.
Good luck with that but with the sharks being allredy in that market what a small fish like you would do ? Regards
you are right but , i guess , but hey there are still plenty of things to do ? like cms freelancers site , for joomla , mambo , and other paid and opensource stuff freelancers site , or making the site specific on certain things , like indian and nepali freelancer community, lots of indian and nepali stuff is getting build up everyday and not much of that kind of site out there , as i am nepali it wouldnt hard for me to advertise it in nepal , and having enough indian friends and stuff i can really go in there too . Advertising it in that specific community can bring enough people from there . Many things to do out there still , but the result wouldn't be quick it will take time thought , for building up stuff in web no one can get quick result .
u can use any freelance site to hire coders, who will make a freelance site for u. making a freelance site is not a big deal, the real and the most difficult thing to do is to bring buyers to ur site how r u planing to do it? I know many people, who just like u build a freelance site, but no one work there. I suggest to do it, only if u can spend good money in advertisement. use adwords, u can also use newspapers, or even on different channels. u will need staff too. "lots of indian and nepali stuff is getting build up everyday and not much of that kind of site out there , as i am nepali it wouldnt hard for me to advertise it in nepal ," how many nepal buyers do u see at GAF or guru or scriptlance or elance or getacoder etc etc ?
i can see more than nepali 20-40 freelancers in gaf , and nepali people certainly hadn't started putting alot of projects in freelancer site coz not much are know to them , the hire people from company or others but now the no of web devlopment have started alot , as you said rest of the things is my job , advertise and other stuff , i know its not a small thing to do ,and i am not taking it easy , its not just me opening this site , i have couple of other people with me . and certainly there are lot of projects for Indians too . do you know a Nepali coder could do custom cms like joomla under $ 500 or building a community site for around $ 600-700 with good stuff , for this i will have to direct contact in Nepal that i already build .
I believe in custom CMS for $500. Can be done, but like Joomla for $500 ? Sorry, just imagine myslef reading usual request make me Joomla clone for $500
its because of the currency m8 , its around 30000 rupees in nepali money and thats a alot , so they can do it , targeting a specific group , country can also be a good way to start a freelance , look nepali designer/coders do it for cheap coz of currency in nepal ( i am talking about designer/coders in nepal ) so people living in country like uk / us want their sites to be done and if its cheap then why not , but for that i still have to do a lot of work
Why don't you charge more ? It will be even more money for you . Any thoughts ? Competing on price is death. What if someone from [name country] will charge $50 tommorow for Joomla site?
if people pay 800 for same stuff my people will pay 650 ,, so for project owner it 150 less and for designer/coder its good money. in today world its all about money , everyone is doing something to make money
You didn't answer to my question, at least directly. I am not sure what you mean. I understand that someone will pay you $800, you will pay $650 to your workers and $150 for yourself. But...why don't you charge $1500 from your site, not from freelance sites ? If $150/$650 is a good money for you/your team, can you imagine what is $1500 ? Man, get real. Especially when "in today world its all about money , everyone is doing something to make money"
but if you got to catch the people then reduce the price , and my team is located in nepal so money would be enough among themselves and for me 100 to 200 without doing nothing but getting project from one hand and letting other hand to do it
"but if you got to catch the people then reduce the price" if all you can do to catch the people is low price - true. 100-200 from doing nothing sounds amazing, but what about future investment into your firm, it's growth, new directions and so on. This will cost more than 100-200. Many offshore sweetshops closed via that reason. Once again, someone may try to catch them with $500 price/$100 for owner, $400 for coders, and your actions in this case will be ? But it's all up to you for sure Just my 2 cents.
That is entirely the problem Every MF has a script for that. If you are going to build a site then design it from scratch. The business section always has someone who says "gimmie an idea to make a fortune" Well this is it. But it is hard work The existing sites have such drawbacks
Nice slowchat going on in here I think i'm on the same page as SEOLinker on this matter. If you can do websites for 500 dollars, while your competitors ask 1500 for the same job. You should not ask 500$, just because you can do it four that price. You should ask the maximum you can get, so 1400. And then if the buyer is a true bussiness person, he'll make you drop the price a bit. 100-200 dollars for little work is great. But when you can get potentially more dollars for the same work, you'd be a fool not to try it.
