In order to start pushing forward some of my ideas, I decided to step it up, get some help. Ideally this help will come through hiring a part time college student. I figure I can pay comparable wages to that of the schools library (about $10 or $11 an hour). There are many ways I can go about hiring such a student, but I figured I would start with Facebook marketplace.
I posted an add on Facebook marketplace looking for students willing to work 10 hours a week for $10 an hour. I figured this would be a fair price and hours for a student taking courses and looking for work on the side. Also, if the student works too much in the week I will not be able to keep up with delegating tasks.
Well, it has now been over a week and I estimate a hundred people saw the ad, at best. Most of which probably have no interest in the type of work I am looking for. There could be multiple reasons for this failed attempt: Many students leave or have full time jobs during the summer, the pay is too low, and most likely, no one saw my post.
I have to say that this attempt was a bust, but having put little or no effort into finding anyone I am not surprised. The next step will include flyers and / or paid facebook advertisement.
