Crowdspring is a fantastic place for web freelance workers together, discuss issues in working from home, spec work pros and cons, and most importantly – get work! You can make a living doing spec work, if you use smart web applications like Crowdspring. Don’t rely on just freelancing, moving from gig to gig – get a simple process in place, and apply that process again and again to apply for as many web freelance Crowdspring assignments as possible. It doesn’t hurt to apply to a lot of them – so long as your quality of work is consistent and high!
Another way of looking at it is this: you can use Crowdspring as your own personal web design resource. Need a quick logo for a larger project, but don’t want to put in a ton of hours? Post the job to Crowdspring and have thousands of pro web designers and developers work on it for you! You can have single pages designed/coded, graphics created, logos (great logos at Crowdspring) – pretty much anything. Turn around is quick, you have people competing to do your work for you, and its not expensive! make sure you read the terms and conditions to make sure you can resell the items you commission on Crowdspring.
