You raised a very good point. In today's world to save the money companies like Facebook, Ebay, Amazon are relying on Freelancers. Its a win - win situation for both the parties. Companies need not to pay the salary, they need not to bear the infrastructure costs and other miscellaneous costs. However the Freelancer will get the best possible rate if he/she is out the country. Freelancer will earn almost45% -75% higher amount which he will earn in his whole year being on a normal salary.

 

For start up organization freelance can become the success factors because of cost involved in it. Secondly if the resource is not well you can chuck it off and hire a new freelancer. There can be many pros and con of hiring freelancers. Depend what you want.

Freelancers have been a driving force in the virtual job market for years now. In some EU countries a couple of years ago, economists spoke clearly of the birth of a so-called "Freelance Economy", free of traditional job market constraints & introducing a specialist one-man (or woman) from of (home) small business entrepreneurship, worthy of encouraging. Some of them linked it to future job flexibility, forecasting future traditional jobs will have some aspects of freelance home jobs.

 

Freelancers do have professionals areas of concentration, though, like: IT, web design, web development, SEO, language jobs, writing, virtual office assistance etc.

Free lancer part is only beneficial when you also get the amount/invoice/payout on commission basis.

Secondary : Free lancer is an option for marketing activities like canopy , road show or leaflet distribution.

But dependency on free lancer team only …never gives us expected result .

I wouldnt use100% freelance sales force, at least to begin with. Try to have a mix of employees and sales agents, depending on the area,product and customers.
