what previligies have freelancer in your platform ?
Will this priviligies rise ?
It's reputation based system where reputation is tokenized. You can buy reputation or earn it by completing jobs. It's a token
Idea being is that right now when someone starts fresh on a freelance platform he has no reputation and it's hard to find jobs. If you can't find jobs, you won't earn reputation. It's closed cycle that you have to break either with patience or by working way under paid.
With us, the choice is yours. You can jump start your career by buying some reputation. Of course if it wasn't for the following, people would take advantage of that immediately to scam others. We have implemented game theory based system, where each participant stakes some of his reputation to participate in a contract. You lose your stake if you behave maliciously. In case of a dispute pool of moderators come in that have stake as well!
Basically we make it economically irrational to behave dishonestly. So rationally thinking human being would hardly find it rewarding to act dishonestly anywhere in the network.
As someone who has done freelance writing for over 8 years, I'm very excited about this project. It's very nice to know that the team also has a lot of experience with freelance platforms already.
I have a few questions, but I'll start with just one:
I've been thinking that there needs to be a "connector" coin. A coin that ensures that all coins wth synergies are working together to accelerate each other's businesses. A freelance coin like Ethearnal can market to already established communities, both as a provider of labour and as a channel to market their services.
For example, one coin has a very effective telegram bot, which has helped them grow their community to over 45,000 before presale. The code of this bot is a job that has already been done. Does Ethearnal plan to allow a sort of licensing structure for labour which just needs to be modified a little bit to be ported onwards?
I think there would be a very good market for this and people would be able to charge less for work already done, instead of hiring a firm or a person to do it from scratch.
In summary...
What is your plan to market to established companies / coins as a sort of employer/ provider of labour? Do you have a person who is specifically responsible for networking/ outreach? If so, how has this progressed up until now? Are you able to say how many commitments you have, if any?
Great questions! I especially like it because we have already considered this!
You will be able to post hourly rate AND create gigs. Gigs will be predetermined task for fixed price. Yes like fiverr. Actually it's not a secret that one of our co-founders is one of the top sellers at fiverr for years now.
So, you will be able to both find work per hour and sell services or actually whatever as a gig.
Second part of your question. We actually have quite detailed marketing plan in the road map. Not many start-ups think about the marketing well in advance of the product but because of our experience we know this is the real game maker.
We will start very heavy and extensive marketing campaign in 2 stages as soon as we have product working well enough. Should be in the second part of 2018 if we get the funding we need.
You can check the marketing road map both on the site and in the whitepaper.
