If I have a large project that I can’t handle on my own because of other project commitments, then I will ask another freelance writer to help me.

I also outsource all the techie bits of my blog because a) it’s not my forte and b) when I try and do it myself, it takes me forever.

Hi I just lost my job. I have applied to most of the job sites more times than thousand times and sent off hundreds of resumes. However, i have not been able to find a single good response to my applications. If anyone knows about particular job site that provides career advice, please revert me with the location details. I will be thankful to you for your early response.

Hello all,
My and some other freelancers and enthusiasts are coming together to create an environment where like minded people can work together in harmony ~vs~ competing.

I have scratched up a google groups page that might be of interest to some of you. Please pardon my lack of inactivity though. I have partnered with a member to make this a legal establishment.

This concept spawned from a forum topic I posted sometime ago and has received quite some attention. Unfortunately I am unable to furnish you with any details due to the fact that we are still writing the business plan and I don’t want to state anything (it’s likely that it will change as the concept is in the development process.)

Our Mission:
to establish a social significance both immediate by working together on a project as a team, but also for future benefit by linking a community of like minded individuals together with common purpose.

i had experience working with other freelancer (Designer only, photoshop guy only), i must say it’s not a good experience ( regarding technical requirements only ) specially working with designer who get design and development work he design website and handover the development work to developer, now your bad and full of irritated time started :) if designer not allow you to discuss directly with client.

client ask for changes designer get the requirements and deliver to developer with try to translate client requirements to his own language that he understand well, now developer unable to understand the designer requirements what he is saying how it is possible designer say yes this is what we will do, developer oh man how it is not possible at the end developer said ok it is possible and develop some things now looooooooop start :)

bytheway working with some other freelancer designer or developer both was good expereince ;)

Do you frequently work with other freelancers?

Yes, i do work frequentrly with other freelancers from all arround the globe. The reasons are simple…i am an visual guy and my technical skills just sucks, thats why i must coloborate with freelance programmers almost on all of my projets that requires codding. I can read and edit code myself, but thats really limited.

How did you start working with other freelancers?

At first, i become thier “ongoing customer” :-) …but then with some of the guys i am working, the relationship turned into partnership and thats cool. Just picture it for a moment…working with someone for 4-5 years that you never meet face to face is weird feeling.

What tips do you have for working with other freelancers?

Working with other freelancers is cool, but never rely to one only…always make sure you have another freelancer that can do a job at same caliber on “standby” mode. Clear communication terms with the freelancer before you dive into something and never work based on hourly rates as you will never know if the freelancer is performing work at the time he/she charges you. I always make deals on “project basis” and i feel this is the way it schould go :-)

Personally I love working with other freelancers (hint hint). I’ve a compartment artist meaning that I can only do one thing at a time effectively so I prefer to work with others to do tasks beyond my specific area.

Simply put, if I’m working on fixing WordPress glitches in the core code, I love to work with others who are more focussed on pretty pictures and pixel pushing.

Unfortunately, I’ve never had the chance to work with another freelancer. I’ve always wanted to though but, I guess the opportunity hasn’t come about.
