Finding my own Gigs- anyone willing to pay a small fee if I pass them something
Reading between the lines, am I right in thinking that some of you guys are assuming I have asked the question because I think I will get rich taking a few quid for finding some one a new contract. I asked a genuine question on this forum, this is a common that is as old as business and is the...- amon

I'm not sure why you bothered to respond and I wont be wasting any more time on you but here goes. If you get paid 500 a day that means the agency is getting paid around 700, maybe as low as 650 but rarely. He takes no risks at all with this and if the contract ends he will generally get paid...- amon

That is how selling anything works. You set up a funnel, at one end you put in tens of thousands of potentials, you work your way through them qualifying out those who don't fit for whatever reason and you end up with a few who become customers. If you had a magic wand you would get the perfect...- amon

I totally understand where that is coming from and I'm looking for the ideal solution, I do think your thinking is slightly flawed though, or maybe I misunderstand it. Your 3 months contract worth 30k would result in about 8-10k kept by the agency apart from all the other little issues and...- amon

That's where I am now. Worth the effort but you have to run a business properly and find work directly. We should keep in touch.- amon

I'm not sure about that, but i am absolutely certain that finding projects for companies is perfectly laudable. I am certainly not offering to find work for employees and don't want to be burdened for contractors who see themselves as employees with bigger pay cheques. I totally agree with...- amon

Finding my own Gigs- anyone willing to pay a small fee if I pass them something
I haven't worked it out but it would definitely be less than half of what an agency takes. I'm mainly interested in the idea of having someone permanently finding work for myself and a few dozen others. Agencies really have become despicable, but worse than their dishonesty and greed is the...- amon

Hi All, I'm interested in what people think. I put a fair bit of effort and expense into finding my own work and I invariably find a lot of stuff that is not right for me and have to pass up. Would anyone be interested in these at a small fee (nothing like an agency fee), I need to recoup the...- amon
