As I get closer and closer to launching a community of online freelancers, I’m doing lots of research within the freelance community. How can Elance.com and Guru.com become so popular? Well the opportunity that has opened to these freelancers is huge! For many, they went from a local community to a world-wide platform. We are going to be doing this same model but with a specific crowd – These other companies have performed a great job at reaching a large audience. Our focus will be within the industries we’re most familiar with in order to create a stable environment targeting specific crowds. Check out what industries are the most popular below.
