GOOD HELP isn’t so hard to find By Darrell Hardy, AWEbase

WEbase is an online software platform that helps creative companies work with artists, writers, and other creative contributors. With AWEbase, game publishers can manage their projects’ budgets, contracts, and payments, while exchanging feedback with creators on the work being done. As a game publisher, it’s often a challenge to find the creative help you need. You have a vision—whether it’s artwork, writing, 3D modeling, or something else—and you need someone to execute that vision. But explaining what you need, and then finding someone to supply it, can be frustratingly time-consuming.
Here are four steps for using AWEbase to help: First, define what you’re looking for as one or more deliverables. Add descrip-

tions, reference, and any other details necessary to properly convey your vision. AWEbase will keep it all organized and centralized.
Next, choose any number of freelancers from your AWEbase database. Combine that list of freelancers with your deliverables to create a JobOpp Inquiry, which is exactly what it sounds like: a message for a contractor offering them a possible job opportunity. Send that inquiry to every freelancer on your list. With one click, you can notify every freelancer of a possible job opportunity. (This is especially useful if you need multiple freelancers—for a large set of illustrations, for example, or a series of articles.)
Finally, it’s possible the help you need
is already on your team. If that’s the case, simply select someone on your staff from within AWEbase, and internally assign them the deliverables without any extra steps. (This works great for assigning simple tasks as well!) Of course, finding the right person to help is just the beginning. With AWEbase, you can also have them sign a contract, upload their work, and exchange feedback on the deliverables—all from within a single online platform.
