Read a Reddit newsletter a few days ago about someone calculating, on average, freelancer spent $600 for a successful hire. I didn’t read the full post (it requires VPN to access) but I believe it instantly. In previous forum some people mentioned they spent thousands. When I get a hire without buying, that brings the average down 😅
About freelancing in general, an old designer friend and I are planning to start a business together (again). He's quitting his job in a month. At this age we might see a few new 'channels' opening up. He asked if we could get jobs from Upwork, I said, "Nooooo!" - Well, unless he can find a solid way to make sure we get more than what we spend there,.
