Making Money by Helping Others Earn
There’s no doubt that one of the hardest parts of being a freelancer is the need to constantly market to clients. It’s also one of the most crucial, since you can’t make a living if you have no projects to accomplish.
Which is why you should consider yourself lucky if you’re really good at attracting inquiries and establishing regular relationships with clients. Aside from enjoying frequent opportunities to earn, you can use this skill to make more money—and help other freelancers succeed.
Why not, as Alfa said, become a freelance jobfinder? You can assemble a dream team of friends and acquaintances, with proven records of deliverability, and market them as a capable group to clients. You can take care of all the marketing, negotiation, and client relations, all for a 5-10% commission of the final project cost.
I doubt your “staff” would mind paying their freelance jobfinder or agent even 20%, because by taking care of what is admittedly the boring part of freelancing, you’ll help them focus their energies on simply maximizing their creativity.
And don’t tell me collaboration online is impossible. All it takes to manage a group effort’s properly is to demand accountability and set a regular time for a conference. Being a freelance jobfinder may come with its own set of risks, such as banking your reputation on the efforts or output of others, but it can be a potentially rewarding vocation for you.
If you can set up a system that properly manages the freelancers under your management, you can earn significantly while keeping your time and energy commitments minimal.
