Question
We're a non-profit niche social networking company serving a minority group. We are have a volunteer working on marketing our pending web social network app, however as CEO, I'm looking forward to hire an expert in web marketing tactics mainly to help make our launch a successful one.
The main role of the person is with helping us plan with our marketing strategies as well as helping us implement them. We are very hard pressed with resources, what's the best way to hire one which we can afford, at say a rate of $10/hr or even less. I really do not have trust in freelance websites because of the poor quality I've received from them so far.
Answer
Hire a freelance marketing expert from platforms like Upwork, Toptal, or LinkedIn by posting a clear, results-focused job description, prioritize those with startup or D2C experience, and start with a short paid trial project to assess fit before committing long-term.
