Instead of hiring agencies for work, l’ve had more success hiring people whose work I like, then offering whatever amount of money to hop on a call for 1 or 2 hours to work together. It almost always pays off 10x each time.
For example if I need some help going over a webpage, I’ll reach out to someone whose work I like, and say “Can I get you on a video call for an hour to help? I can pay $300.”
Pretty much works every time!
