Tip of the Week: Hiring Freelancers - The Purpose
Wednesday February 4, 2004
No matter what your company needs - a brochure, print ad or even a commercial - a freelancer can help you achieve your goals. Freelancers work directly with you, usually on a per project basis. This is convenient for companies who only need one or two projects produced. Freelance copywriters write the materials and freelance graphic designers create the layout and design of your project.

Freelancers are offer some other advantages as they are often:
- Flexible with hours. You might be able to get something done at short notice, overnight, over the weekend.
- Online and willing to work remotely. This means there is a bigger pool of talent you can tap into.
- Charge less. They might be moonlighting or working-from-home.
When getting a freelancer:
- Check out their portofolio.
- Use a marketplace service (like DesignBay or Elance) to compare freelancers and get the best deal
