This one goes out to all the ONLINE FREELANCERS on this forum site.
What I have in mind is, we make this a database of all the existing ONLINE FREELANCERS here for the purpose of helping each other out. Kinda like "YOU SCRATCH MY BACK I'LL SCRATCH YOURS" think or an ASSOCIATION OF FREELANCERS of some sort.
Why do you think we should do this? Simple. THERE ARE SOME FREELANCERS WHO HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES THAN OTHERS and THERE ARE ALSO SOME FREELANCERS WHO HAVE THE RIGHT SKILLS BUT DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE BEST USE OF THEM. Let's face it, not everyone will be able to find those reliable buyers of our service while others have more than enough opportunities than they can handle so why not give others a hand?
For starters, it would be nice if we all fill-up this form:
Username: Optional information since your username will show when you reply.
Expertise: ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Years of experience: ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Level of expertise (1 being the lowest): ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Freelancing experience: YES or NO - If yes, what site?
Preferred Means of Communication: optional
Link to your portfolio or site where you can showcase your skills and experience: optional
You can also suggest what other information we can add to the given format to make it even more helpful for each one of us.
Together, we can get a bigger pie of the worldwide jobs market.
