WNW has been dead for years IMO… think when they were acquired by Fiverr back in 2021 it just lost its premium luster of having been a group you could only be invited to.

True.

WNW ceased working 10 years ago when Justin and company opened it up to anyone in preparation to sell it off to Fiverr.

What made it work was the exclusivity of having a roster of award winning creatives that agencies would go directly to, to mine candidates.

For transparency sake, I only got a few gigs from it but it became completely useless when the team pushed to open it up and sell it off.

Thanks P1 but I was referring to in-house recruiters. Not 3rd party. I always avoid 3rd party ones the plague.

I never used it and did fine

Who was actually getting gigs from it anyway?

Damn, I hope you were buying lottery tickets the whole time. I’ve been on it since forever, when they had a tiny crew of people assessing every new member, and not once did it translate to a gig for me. And I’ve got lots of awards, marquee brands and a-level agencies on my cv.

The two founders sold it to fiverr. Horrible decision for creatives / the industry. The founders don’t care. They’re trying to start something else.. same idea (round up creatives).. it’s a weak move. The founders need to go.

I feel like I’m the only one who got consistent opportunities out of WNW, even as recent as Jan! Where do you all find most of your freelance gigs?

No clue. The algorithm liked me, don’t know!

Source, OP?

Not showing up for me. Weird

This morning, the partner told me he’ll probably fire this client, big pat on the back.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date).
