Hi Zulie. Google recommended me this article and frankly, I am glad it did. Great insights. I completely agree with your take on paid job boards. I've never been the one to prefer platforms like Upwork and Fiverr. To be honest though, the recent slump in clients had me rethinking my stance and I was seriously looking into Bark.com. If you've used it, I would love to hear your suggestion on whether to go for it or not.
P.S. Although I am quite experienced, my rates are nowhere near as expensive as yours :). So, will definitely be crowding in at these quiet gems of yours :D.
