A recap of Day One.
Today Tinyproj officially turns three … days (old), and what a ride it’s been so far. I thought it would be fun to do a quick breakdown of the first email we sent today (and if you didn’t get it, sign up for next time).
It’s great to see a chord has been struck with folks — over 4,500 developers and designers, copywriters, and illustrators have signed up in the past few days, and the growth isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. On the project side, there were close to 30 submissions, which was culled down to 16 (based on fairness of budget, quality, etc.). Today’s email featured those 16 projects; they covered a range of disciplines — anything from iOS dev, to HTML/CSS, UX design, copywriting, and more.
Across those 16 projects (which went out to an average of 3,800 people), the average number of people who asked for an intro to the project owner was 41, with the highest coming in at 99, and the lowest coming in at 8. The average project duration was 7 days, and the average budget was $1937.
The feedback has been incredible, and I’ve got a solid list of things to improve for next Saturday’s email. I’ll talk more about what went right — and what didn’t — in my next post.
Until then, if you’re a dev or designer and looking for interesting, paid, respectable work on the side, sign up today. You don’t have to do anything — the projects get sent to your inbox every Saturday morning (probably slightly less exciting than Saturday morning cartoons, but that’s up for debate.)
If you’re someone with short-term work and don’t want to use crowdsourcing services that have people working on spec, why not give Tinyproj a shot? It’s just 25 bucks.
Until next time,
