January 2019: Freelancer? Seeking Freelancer?

🎊 Happy new year IH! 🎊
Welcome to the January 2019 freelancer / seeking freelancer thread.

For those not familiar, this is patterned after a long-running thread on Hacker News. Think of it like a little classified ads section. It looks like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16282820

Tips for posting:

✔️ Lead with SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER.
✔️ Let's just assume that everyone is okay with remote work, unless specified otherwise.
✔️ Make sure you have up to date contact information in your post or your IH profile.
✔️ I've never been given too much information about a job or freelancer up front. It's never happened!
✔️ If you successfully find work/hire someone through this thread, post and let us know!

      Impressive work @seanw -- I'm not hiring, thought of putting seeking work but checking yours as competition, I've gotta step my game up. First I've seen of checkbot but it looks great -- also love the endorsements right on the portfolio site. Good luck.

      1. 3

        Thanks Justin! I actually just updated my freelance site yesterday after not touching it for a good while so I appreciate the feedback.

        I wouldn't let comparisons with others stop you getting a site together yourself. I got started with maybe two example projects that were just a screenshot and paragraph description each, and endorsements from two previous work collegues. Some people go overboard I think with pages of details for lots of projects when a single page for everything is enough.

        1. 2

          I agree. The most important thing is to tell people you're looking for work. I got my first gig when my site was completely empty through an HN post. If you don't have a site yet, just hit up threads like this, the HN one, twitter, etc...

    2. 1

      Hi Sean. I was based in Edinburgh for a chunk of the last 10 years. Not looking to hire anyone just now, but will pass on your details to a few people who might be interested. All the best - Gareth

        Thanks Gareth, that's super nice of you. Happy New Year! :)

    Late to the game here.

    SEEKING FREELANCER
    email: d@threehex.com

    Looking for a junior marketer. Someone who's got aspirations to build their own thing is great - looking for someone who's curious and maybe tried to launch their own stuff or build something, but wants to learn because that effort didn't result in an Indie Hackers 'I do $XXk in revenue on my own' interview.

    I consult on growth and marketing for companies in 'reach the next stage' mode, and I need help with that. Help me. I'll help you in return. I need to take my clients from 6 and 7 figures into twice that, so help me do that and the world's your oyster.

    Technical chops not necessary, but marketing is a bit technical these days so hit me with your best marketing moves or experiments. I'm hoping to find someone who's confident digital marketing is your gig because it feels natural for ya - you did content well, or paid ads well, or a product launch well. You ideally want to build and own a business, but you're willing to get inside someone else's in order to see the guts and learn what you need to learn around people who are very open to supporting your ultimate dream of owning your own business.

    Email: jason@maur.co

    GitHub: https://github.com/jsonmaur

    I have over 10 years of experience with front-end and back-end development in Javascript, PHP, SQL/NoSQL, C#, and HTML/CSS. Also have experience with devops in AWS, Terraform, and Docker.

    To be completely candid, I'm still recovering from a failed startup and some burnout. Mostly looking to take on front-end and design gigs, but am willing to help out wherever I can. My design experience isn't as extensive as development, but I would love any opportunities to help out with UI/UX design, identity and branding, illustration, etc.
