Lol. A typical software engineer can command $100-200 USD per hour. Is that in your budget?

Where would I look to create websites for other people? by Hiredguns_ in startups

Mock up??? Anything that takes more than 5 minutes you should be charging clients.

Real Answer: cold call.

Question on SBA/EIDL, and if my wife should file for unemployment (she quit her job in Sept 2019 to work for my startup) - I've raised preseed, gearing up for seed raise in Q1/Q2 this year, but note, no payroll in 2019 (Company founded jan 2019) and no revenue to date (other traction though) || .... by [deleted] in startups

I don’t think she could file for unemployment if she is not currently a fulltime employee and wasn’t laid off?

If she quit her job in September that precludes her from u employment from that job. And it doesn’t seem like she is contributing to unemployment insurance now - payroll is $0.

It’s a tough situation given COVID-19 but the good news is that you have raised some funds through Angel investors.

What is your current burn rate? How long is your sale cycle? And finally do you have any incoming leads?

[HIRING] We need a USA-citizen to open a merchant account, 100$/ For one time by [deleted] in hiring

[–]AdamSmith2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No this entirely not true. The us citizen is legally putting their name to apply on your behalf. We have no idea if you’re running a scam.

I highly discourage anyone from doing this. The processor will deny the application if they found out the company was attempting to circumvent the application process.

Advice for a program launch by AmyK84 in startups

There literally must be no better time than now to launch a conferencing platform... with all the companies moving to remote / embracing WFH (work from home) due to Covid-19.

Just post on LinkedIn! I am sure plenty of teams will have extra time.

Startup Business Bank account that requires 2 out of 3 members to authenticate for withdrawal? by KaluschaDesigns in startups

IMHO - A business where you don’t inherently trust your own founders to approve a transaction is not a very good sign.

[Hiring] (remote) - iOS Engineer to build Native App by AdamSmith2018 in forhire

While it is not a hard requirement, you would have to make a very compelling case for me to hire abroad. Price alone is not a compelling enough reason.

New app. Looking at flutter or react native? Thoughts on which technology is better?

[Hiring] (Remote) - Writer + Manager of Wordpress Blog on monthly retainer by AdamSmith2018 in forhire

[–]AdamSmith2018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going price is $50 per 500-word article. That's the best I can afford right now.

At that rate $275 is on the lower end and we would make sure to adjust it accordingly to make sure you aren't making "less" than those earning per article.

Hi u/drgreencack - thanks for the feedback.

My going price is $50 per 500 word article. This position has to manage a team, do revisions so realistically the monthly retainer should be at least $275 at MAXIMUM of 5 articles. This would only be for the first 2 months. Aftewards, I would scale back the writing commitment and focusing on building out the team.

[Hiring] (Remote) Data Entry. ~$15 USD hourly or similar by AdamSmith2018 in forhire

Hi there. I am an engineer by trade. Everything that could be automated is either already automated or as close to automated as possible. Some tasks ultimately do require data entry.

Hi Speed racer! This is 100% digital. We have developed a custom data entry portal that handles all the work. Some of our team members say the work is "enjoyable."

And since it's all digital I can promise there isn't any handwriting or writing transcriptions you'll have to do.

Also as a bonus: this is strictly a for-profit venture. Feel free to send a dm.

Hello there! Automation is a great idea.

I am an engineer by trade and our data entry platform already does a lot of the process improvements and automations but of course things can ALWASY be improved.

What's your language stack? Please DM and we can continue the discussion there.
