I know an outsourcing agency owner who spends $5K on Linkedin to find 1 client but I can’t spend that much money because I am just starting out. I didn’t keep in touch with him so I’m asking you instead.

When we talked he said I’d buy manhours for $20/hr in my country and sell for $30/hr in his country. He was a nice dude and said I should give it a try.

PS. I have a CS degree but I remember nothing. I got D from OOD course

    There is an insane spam of people trying this on LinkedIn. Not judging, just saying it’s quite a saturated market.

    I once got a Director job title, I immediately got 2-3 messages like that per day.

        I have no idea. Our company was a very small team, my Director title was not something I’d consider to be serious, I was barely a team lead. I’m just saying that there must be a huge spam tsunami on LinkedIn if they even found me.

        I’d consider direct networking? Who do you know personally? IDK if I’d hire an outsourcing outfit from a cold call. Even if someone would, chances are you won’t be the first to contact them.

          Would you want to help me with this project? I can tell you what I’m doing and ask for your perspective.

          I can ask my old professors if they know any US-EU based companies that need cheap talent.

          I have a great background on paper.

          At worst I can try to find investors. Guy I talked to said it would be easy to get investment. He didn’t choose that path because they asked 40% for $100K. I could start with this version, and then learn how this works, and then do it in another country solo
