Improving the experience of African Freelancer: That's how
Recent highlights:
1. I've enjoyed conversations with many African pioneers of the freelance revolution, builders of important platforms like Andela and Gebeya in tech, African Foresight Group in management consulting and interim management, Pengo Insight in expert networks, and OneCircleHR, a South African startup in the HR space.
2. Platforms must also help by teaching African freelancers to think like marketers as they establish their reputation and services, and connect early stage freelancers with more experienced coaches or mentors as OMS has done in Europe

Case for freelancers
Quick summary:
1. My marketing peers seem to be split entirely down the middle on the topic of freelancers — some swear by them and have a strong corps of freelancers that make up the majority of their agency.
2. Second, you save money because you're not paying for a freelancer's benefits and they're only part of the team for a limited time.
3. Though it might be a little scary upfront to find people you're willing to bring on board, once you work with enough freelancers you'll start to build out a solid network of people you can call on for special projects

How to Manage Freelancers and Independent Contractors
Quick summary:
1. Freelancers are primarily freelancers because they want greater autonomy and independence, and often are working for other organizations besides yours.
2. A dissatisfied and underpaid freelancer may badmouth your organization after the job is done, making it harder to recruit freelancers in the future.
3. The New York Times notes that vague job descriptions cause either unqualified candidates to apply or qualified candidates to stay away, and that applies to freelancers as well

One More Time: Free Work Isn't Free
Quick summary:
1. Consistent with this finding, the data also show that early stage freelancers are more dissatisfied with pay equity than other freelancers.
2. Free work is, of course, at the opposite end of a freelancer first philosophy: A marketplace philosophy that prioritizes the success and prosperity of freelancers rather than a singular focus on client satisfaction and revenue growth.
3. When freelancers have had a good experience, have done well and are paid fairly, they are more likely to evangelize about the platform, and far more inclined to work with the client company again
