I have decided that I will freelance myself for free.
The goal? Help companies automating their tasks and build some portfolio of my own.
I’ll target small companies that might not have the resources to hire full-time people.
Which types of automation would you say are more necessary when the company is 6-12 months old and has less than 10 people?
If you work for free, realise that you’re basically telling these companies that what you do is not valuable. If it would save these companies 100k, then you could easily charge 25k as you’re providing value.
Sometimes selling something for cheap is telling you the quality is low too (even though it’s not necessarily true). Other times, something is actually really cheap, but putting a big price tag on it makes it perceived as valuable (perfume, LV bags).
A share of the money saved is an interesting approach, thanks for the feedback!
