Hey guys. I’ve already posted some of this info but I really want Blender artists to have first crack at this opportunity. I like using Blender and I believe in promoting Blender artists.
I’ve been using blender to make a living for about 3 years now.
My Brother-in-law is kind of a web and marketing expert and He got me most of my paid work. He just set up a web site that is shortly going to have a ton of people looking for artists and web developers to hire for freelance work. Please take a couple minutes and list your info on the site so the clients have some options for people to hire. It doesn’t cost anything. Worst case scenario you might have a bunch of random people wanting to pay you.
Given that you seem to be posting only to promote a site your brother in law makes money from, or projects you work on that need funding, I don’t think it’ll be skin off anyone else’s either.
Your posts come across as unprofessional, maybe you just need to work on that some.
Unfortunately a huge percentage of people who use the internet have some kind of angle. I totally understand peoples’s suspicions.
I really don’t mean to spam. I was hoping that people who use this forum would remember me. I’ve been posting for a couple years. I never brought up anything like this before.
I admit that I am trying to help my brother-in-law get more people to use his web site. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t think his site is a good idea. My biggest frustration with freelance work is that you can never know who to trust. New clients are especially hard to get payment from. It seems like this ciprok8 thing is a good idea.
I won’t bring this up again.
Sorry for the offense.
You can get paid however you want. Check, paypal, etc. You can also use the payment options built into the website but you don’t have to.
The site is just an interface for freelancers to communicate with clients. Someone has to contact you because they saw your portfolio on the site. It’s totally up to you from that point. If you’ve never done freelance work before you should make sure you know how much you want to charge, what kind of work you want to do etc.
