Are start-ups hiring independent consultants?

http://www.thechrislusk.com

The company I was with recently shutdown so I thought about making my unique skill set available to small businesses as a consultant.

I created a website and have started putting work examples up there but I am not sure if I should sell blocks of hours, bill by the project, take equity, etc.

Feedback on the website is greatly appreciated as well! www.thechrislusk.com

    They definitely do, yes. I do 1-2 engagements per month with startups as a consultant.

    A couple of thoughts on your landing page...

    • "leadership for hire" --> it's very rare a startup wants to hire leadership as an external consultant.
    • You list so many services that you give off the impression to clients that you aren't an expert in anything. As a consultant, it pays to specialise. It should be super obvious to a website visitor exactly what you do and why they should hire you.

    Good luck!

      Thank you so much for the feedback Louis! I will boil down what I "want" to do and build around that. Really appreciate it!
