Hey everyone, co-founder of Konsus.com here

I was a big user of old Elance/Odesk for design and data entry in the past, but found myself struggling to find freelancers, and having some mixed experiences with quality.

So mrstochastic, my co-founder/CEO and I decided to create Konsus.com, to make it easier to get things done on the internet.

We provide on demand freelancers for business, available 24/7 via chat. We're aiming for the mid-price range where (29 USD /hr). We do business tasks: as in design, writing and data. You can see some actual stories and examples of what we've dine under services.

If you want see how it works to give feedback, you can do it with no sign-up/risk, just click "Talk to us" and ask for a quote for your project, for example.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts!

I generally do fix bid on upwork.com. I have experimented lately with hourly but I'm only paying $8 for a developer and $4 for VA and $15 for a telemarketer. Where I could see a possible area is if you focus on project management and requirements gathering and were available during after work hours(5-10PM EST.) And managed projects but passed the lower billing rates on for the actual workers. Although I still want to see portfolios and passed work. Also, I'd want templates and code used to lower costs when possible. Just my 2 cents of what would be valuable to me.

Out of curiosity, what are you paying a developer $8 to do?

You did a great job on my project proposal doc! Where are your designers located? Mostly Europe or around the world?

Thanks, I'm glad we did! Our designers are located around the world, but most are from Europe still, since we're both originally from Oslo, Norway.
