If the work you need done involves many areas of expertise, it may be best to hire a team of freelancers rather than just one. Experienced freelancers in a market often form informal alliances and back one another up, so that a client who needs (for example) a website can get a developer, a writer, and a designer all in one contract.
Why a Team?
Why would a freelancer work on a team? Freelance work can be isolating, and many people enjoy collaboration with creative teams. Some teams evolve into full-scale firms, with offices and full-time employees. If all goes well, the firms then find themselves with too much work and have to hire more freelancers. Ideally, you would look for a team who has worked together in the past on similar projects. You get the work done faster, and the pieces are more likely to fit together than if they were done by separate freelancers.
When it comes to finding help to run your business, you have three options: hire employees, pay an agency, or assemble a team of freelancers.
While hiring full- or part-time employees makes sense for many businesses, others prefer to use an agency or freelancers. Still other businesses hire employees but outsource some things (such as marketing and advertising) to an outside agency or a team of freelancers — which is definitely the way of the future.
