Freelance Heroes
Aug 02, 2012
Hi, and welcome to the "Freelance Heroes" thread, a place where Articulate Freelancers help each other. Got a question about freelancing? Or perhaps you have an e-learning asset that may be valuable to those "doin' their own thing"? This is the place to share--to give.
To start things off, I'd like to share a short list of questions that help me figure out what kind of training a potential client wants. (So often they have no idea what they want.) The list is far from exhaustive, but may be of some help. Looking forward to meeting you. --Daniel

Might be late to the party here, but even in the world of a full time ID identifying who gets to review and who gets signoff is critically to keeping a project on track. And me keeping what little hair I have left.

Hi, everyone: Saw this call for Storyline Freelancers over on Products thread. Thought I'd re-post here. Hope things are well. --Daniel
Sent PM. Also, love love your personal site and the energy it puts out. :}
I am a current full time instructional designer with advanced experience with Articulate Studio and Storyline as well as Captivate. I am looking for contract elearning developer opportunities and would be willing to consider doing some pro bono work. Is there a forum or site that is a good resource for these types of opportunities? I already subscribe to this thread and the elearning jobs blog.
Hi Allen,
Left you a PM regarding your posting. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Fuller
Some more thoughts on the "business" side of freelance Instructional Design freelancing from a resident British Articulate Superhero (the one who isn't Phil Mayor...)

Christina - you can go to myROCUSA.org and register as a guest to view our on-line community center and training modules. I can let our administrator know you are interested - just say the word, and thank you for your interest.
The RFP explains the project in detail.
How do I contact you outside of this site?

A few thoughts on a technique that you might want to use to bring company departments a little closer together when you are creating "process" or even "compliance" courses - http://wp.me/p13NYZ-6c
On a "freelancer" level - it's also one of those things that can get you more exposure across the business, and help you claw your way up the "value chain" rather than just staying at "supplier" level.
Creative use of Storyline, Bruce. And of course, I enjoy the nod to Stephen Covey. Just finished re-reading 7 Habits... Thanks for sharing this post. --Daniel
Hi, Christina: I've found the best way to get work is to share: help people out on this thread and the forum at large; create short presentations/blog posts/screencasts you think would help fellow e-learning pros improve. And of course, post stuff you've done.
If you are interested in what the people on this thread (most notably Bruce Graham, Holly MacDonald, Sheila Cole-Bulthuis, Jerson Campos, Kevin Thorn et al) say about freelancing, I created a recap in the form of four short articles on the Articulate blog. Here is the first one: 5 tips to launch your career as a freelancer
Hope to see you around. --Daniel
Hello all - at the suggestion of one of the moderators I am posting my request for a local SME in a couple of additional threads/forums.
I am a consultant with Del Taco. We are using PeopleMatter and Storyline to develop eLearning content and we need a local (to Southern California) SME as a longer term resource. We are working with a third party vendor in the short term for our initial training/guidance and roll out but really want someone local for a long term business relationship.
If you are that SME, please contact me at dking@deltaco.com.
Thanks!
Dana
Dana,
You are looking for a SME in the area of PeopleMatter and Storyline?
Any character designers looking for work? Would like to get a likeness of me done with different poses and expressions delivered in layered PSD. If interested I'd like to see previous work (example of pic to digital) and an estimated price.
Thanks
Happy Friday,
I'm looking for an instructional designer based in San Francisco. We will be using Storyline 2 to design and develop the eCourse. Please respond to me with your interest. Looking for someone who can commit about 10 hours per week and can start immediately.
Please respond to me at julie@waldengroup.net.
Thanks, Julie
Can any tell me where to find info on how to best price my freelance work?
I think the best thing to post some of the work (which I will be doing soon) and then letting people know that you are available.
I am available for instructional design work (I have used Moodle, Canvas, and eCollege) I am in Chicago, but willing to travel.
I'm looking for a freelance instructional designer who can meet in-person with the SME. He is based in San Francisco. The project is about mediation and uses a mixture of video and text. We'll use Storyline 2 to develop. I'm looking for someone who can distill large amounts of information and keep another busy professional on track. The work will take place between now and February. We probably need 10-15 hours per week. Please contact me directly at julie@waldengroup.net.
Cheers, Julie
Hi all,
We're looking for experienced e-Learning developers with a great grasp of Articulate Storyline for an upcoming project and it looks like I might be looking in the right place. Our company Via, Inc. is located in Portland, OR and local candidates are preferred but if you're on the west coast we'd still hope to hear from you. Work would be on a contract basis until at least the end of the year and will be 10-40 hours/week based on availability.
Feel free to shoot me a message on here if you're interested and we can discuss further.
Best,
Bobby
