Surplus of freelancers not seen in hundreds of years!

[Mark Miles]

I recently posted a job on Upwork for some web site work I needed help with. I checked back an hour later and there were 30 applicants. THIRTY!!! In 1 hour! From all over the globe! Many were as asking as little as $3-$10/hr.

Historically, getting a lot of Upwork responses meant like a dozen responses within 24 hours. But 30 within 1 hour? Omg!

Then I remembered that the entire globe is unemployed. Literally, global unemployment hasn’t been this high in hundreds of years.

Anyway, it got me thinking: let’s put some people to work! A true win-win here.

If you’ve been thinking about:

• building a web site for your STR
• researching some automation tools like channel managers
• researching some new markets or properties
• researching some new tech to make your house a "smart home"
• renovating or redecorating your house
• or anything else under the sun.........

These tasks are easily outsourced inexpensively to others, and there’s never been a better time for this in your lifetime (or your parents’ lifetime, or your grandparents’ lifetime, or your great-grandparents’ lifetime…)

Might as well help someone else feed their family while moving your business forward...
