    Finding employees abroad for remote job.

    Thanks. Any idea of how to reach students? I guess I would contact a university and see if they have a student list. One one hand...my customers wants me to have employees so they can be served,...but on the other hand my employees wants me to have customers so they can have a job...as of...

    Finding employees abroad for remote job.

    Thanks. Just out of curiosity...does Upwork get paid for every new client? Does Upwork make the money transaction more secure? Why do customers stick to the Upwork platform instead of calling the person that will do the job directly and not through Upwork?

    Finding employees abroad for remote job.

    How do I find potential employees abroad, for a remote part time job? Preferably with a specific profession/education or even students of specific subjects? My brainstorming comes up with scrolling LinkedIn profiles and DM (direct message) persons in question, post LinkedIn Ads, DM Facebook...

    Setting up a referral arrangement.

    MARKETING 
    Thanks! Some great ideas I can use. Also, if the shopkeeper does not deliver, does not meet his quota, I can replace his "add" from my website with a shopkeeper that does meet his quota.

    Setting up a referral arrangement.

    MARKETING 
    Thanks for your input! It feels like it should be a system somewhere somehow for stuff like this... Maybe I will have to go with the trust-way anyway and earn the shopkeeper's trust. The thing is that no one likes to be tricked...it is not even about the money...it is about being wrong done and...

    Setting up a referral arrangement.

    MARKETING 
    Yes, one possibility is that I will disclose my list of people that took my class. So the shopkeeper will be able to compare lists. But in this case, I will be the one who creates my list and I could omit some people that took my class and not write down their names on my list. Also, all my...

    Me wanting to start a business.

    INTRO 
    Hi, I want to start a class with at least 10 people, meeting in person once a week for a few hours. Weekend courses could also work for people that are attending from far away. So this is a service business, and not a tangible product to sell, so no production costs more than time spent. For...

    Problem with making a whiteboard animation.

    Hi, I am doing a whiteboard animation for youtube. I am using Videoscribe. But I am having problems with making it look good. I can not find consistency in the graphic illustrations, that is, the pictures I choose have different styles, even when I use Videoscribe's own stock images. I import...

    Question about joint venturing

    MARKETING 
    To be fair, everyone can write an article about anything, especially a Designer and Freelancer, as in this case. In this case, he would very well have right...I am just sayin'... But still, my takeaways are that I will try to connect more with other people about my business. Also, when time...
