Freelancers are not for 5 rubles or statistics

    This is a continuation of yesterday's post about designers, or rather some statistics.

    I conducted a small experiment to identify the level of work and the level of requests of freelancers.



    After the publication of the proposal, Pro was the first to respond , which is not surprising.

    Many do not read the sentence and post a prepared template, i.e. I asked to write one thing, they wrote a completely different one, we immediately exclude them.

    Let's start with the pros.

    Of all the proposals, 10-15% of freelancers have really professional work . And they offer quite real prices for their work. A

    professional with a good portfolio of
    $ 300 for a layout.
    $ 25 per hour of work.


    Freelancers with an account Pro and a regular average portfolio
    Prices bend like professionals, i.e. $ 200-400 and $ 20 per hour of work

    Freelancers with a poor portfolio (poor quality of work, but some have good ideas)
    from $ 70 :) ala school level
    One of them asked for $ 30 per hour of work


    I also got a few students ( Email view * year of birth@*.ru )
    Some try to bend good prices, some do everything for a penny, creating competition for professionals. But in general, all students have zero portfolio.

    Bottom line: there was one freelancer with a decent quality of work and a decent price. The average customer would not be able to calculate it in a heap of offers and would probably give the order to the designer, whose portfolio consists of terrible collages, for a price around $ 100.

    PSThe professional was the loser. The customer was the loser.
