What are the challenges of freelancing?

Marketplace

Marketplaces

Limited work and low prices. Less than 5% of freelancers get work from marketplaces and pay rates are low.
Cost

Cost

Agencies and platforms charge up to 25% commission on projects, reducing the margin available to freelancers.
Networking

Networking

Up to 90% of a freelancers work comes through contacts or businesses they've previously worked for. Maintaining their network is vital.

Introducing City Founder Status

If you have arrived at this page, you are a Boutique Agency and
have been personally invited by the founders of FreelanceHUB

What is FreelanceHUB?

FreelanceHub is the online home for freelancers, where they connect with businesses and each other to get work done. Whether you take on marketplace tasks or not, you know that the valuable opportunities come from your network.

FreelanceHUB is where Marketplace meets network.

Whilst the freelance market is now global there remains a requirement for local interaction around major cities.

We would like to offer you City Founder status

Our City Founders are preferred partners, with a limited number of 10 in each city.

What does a City Founder do?
When a business comes onto FreelanceHUB looking for freelancers, they may require a Boutique Agency to help them to create a proper brief or create a freelance team or manage a project and you will be our preferred partner.

It’s really as simple as that. You get business and we provide a service in the early days.

As the network grows then of course there will be other Boutique Agencies but you remain the preferred partner and hopefully continue to play an important role in the City Hub as it expands.

What do Freelancers and Businesses
say about FreelanceHUB?

Growing a boutique design agency with traditional recruitment models is not just expensive but very risky, we have managed to grow by 350% in the last 5 years by building teams of freelancers around our core offering to become pretty much a full-service agency, not bad eh!

This model works for me in two ways, I get more work from boutique agencies with zero BD effort, and I can expand my capacity by collaborating with other web developers, win/win!

When you say I can invest, how does that work?

Plus icon

Users of sites are sometimes frustrated that they love the business but only the ‘money people’ get a chance to invest. FreelanceHUB is built by and for the Freelancer so uniquely we want to give you an opportunity to invest alongside the professionals in much smaller amounts.

Why are Cities important if FreelanceHUB is a global business?

Plus icon

Freelancers can get work from anywhere in the world but there will still be projects and businesses that require some on-site work or meetings. From a freelancer perspective, it is also a lonely business so a local community with similar culture and work experiences creates a good support network and a vibrant HUB that will build to be a catalyst of work and sharing of opportunities.

Why have you selected me?

Plus icon

Because you have the influence, following and knowledge that will help build a vibrant City FreelanceHUB and be able to help businesses and interact with Freelancers in your area.

Will I get eventually get paid for being a City Founder?
