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

Quick summary:
