intro
Hi!
Firstly, at the expense of sounding patronising let me congratulate you of EXECUTING on an idea, I have been ONLY THINKING about, but you seem to have found the courage and boldness to go ahead and find a SOLUTION.
You have a 'classic' freelancer problem which bugs or must be bugging every freelancer. I am happy you have brought it out to the open and exposed it as it were.
I am glad this gives me an opportunity to talk to someone who has a similar problem as mine. As you rightly pointed out in your description that you are not sure whether it will work, plus you wouldn't know how to price it either as every freelancer is sort of 'bootstrapping'.
I would like to know if we can work around this problem by doing some sort of a collaboration. I will need to put my mind to it. I would request you to do it too. As we are around 2.5 hrs apart with respect to time zones, I hope we can use that to our advantage too.
Off the cuff, what I can think of as a solution is to do sharing of our search times. So, that the streams of work for both of us are evenly spaced out. I am sure if I put my mind to it, I can come up with even better solutions. But, as of now to keep it short, lets work on 'I'll scratch your back, you scratch my back' policy until the time we get a better solution.
If you could PM me we could take the discussion further. In the meanwhile I'll put my mind to it to find better solutions. Also would like to know what are your areas of interest.
