Scale and the small enterprise (freelancer grid)

The business giants need tonnage. Undifferentiated, commodity-priced, often delivered, constant work for rent. They’re not going out of their approach for freelancers which can be bespoke, artisanal and even ‘higher.’ They merely need to meet spec at the perfect worth. They will hold you very busy, they usually would possibly even pay on time.

There are just a few uncommon birds, massive potential purchasers that need freelancers who will give them one thing distinctive and exhausting to copy. They know that what they need is scarce, and pay appropriately. Not a lot of them on the market. Should you discover one, treasure them.

This leaves us with the final two classes:

By far the most typical is the waste of time. These small companies need to be (or fake to be) industrial giants, however merely need commodity pricing, in small quantity and with numerous last-minute adjustments. Clearly, the good freelancer avoids these people, irrespective of how well-meaning they’re.

This leads us to the candy spot. The shopper who needs you, with all of your uniqueness, pricing and magic. The one who pays loads and will get greater than they paid for.

They are going to be simpler to seek out if you happen to search for them. And particularly in case you are really providing distinctive magic.
