💼 Revealed from Personal Experience! The Top 3 Profitable Spot Consulting Services
🏆 The Story of How the Top 3 Spot Consulting Services Were Selected
Hello, this is Roel.
Today, I would like to reorganize my thoughts on "choosing a spot consulting service" based on my own personal experience.
I want to revisit this topic.
I have used several services to take on projects so far.
As I organized the parts where I felt "this was good" or "this might not be a good fit," my own ranking naturally emerged.
I am sharing the latest version of that ranking this time.
✍️ Existing Services and My Stance
First, as a premise, the services I often use are those that can be called the "application-based" style.
The client puts out a specific request saying, "I want to solve this kind of problem," and I apply saying, "I can do that."
Since the project details are clear, I can pinpoint my experience to match them, and the communication is smooth.
When I actually use them, the companies are also "requesting because they have a necessary theme," so the discussions are essential and easy to move forward.
For me, this format feels the most comfortable.
On the other hand, I am honestly not very good at the style where you register your profile and wait for requests, like "Coconala."
Waiting without seeing the customer's needs doesn't suit my personality.
🆕 Newly Tried "NewsPicks Expert"
Recently, I dared to try a service operated by NewsPicks called "
NewsPicks Expert".
This is truly a representative of the "waiting" type.
You just write "what you can solve" and "your areas of expertise" in your profile, and then you wait for requests to come in.
At first, I thought, "This might not be for me," but unexpectedly, an offer came in one day.
It was a request saying, "We would love to ask for an interview," so I decided to actually take on the project.
💰 The Content of the Project I Actually Took
The project was a request for feedback on a new research product from a certain startup.
The content was simple: an interview of about one hour.
I gave straightforward feedback on what I actually felt regarding the product's usability and customizability.
The compensation was about 20,000 yen.
The payment was also smooth, and I was able to interact with peace of mind.
My honest impression is that I felt it was a "decent service" more than I had imagined.
🤔 Impressions and Positioning After Using It
However, the inherent difficulty of a "passive" approach still remains.
I personally find that "proactively applying myself" suits me better.
It's more efficient and leads to fewer mismatches with projects.
Therefore, NewsPicks Expert has settled into a position where it's not a "place to actively pursue," but rather a place where I just register my profile and consider it lucky if a request comes in.
🎯 My Personal Ranking
Based on my experience, here is my personal ranking of spot consulting services👇
1st Place: The "standard service" I reveal in my paid note (100 yen) *Application-based & Passive-based
2nd Place: The "standard service" I reveal in my paid note (100 yen) *Application-based & Passive-based
3rd Place: "NewsPicks Expert" *Passive-based
If you cover these three, while it doesn't guarantee that everyone will get projects,
I believe there is a high possibility that many people will find work that suits them.
In fact, I have successfully landed projects on all three of these platforms.
✅ Summary
Spot consulting services include "application-based" and "passive-based" types
I prefer application-based, but I was able to successfully land projects even with passive-based ones
NewsPicks Expert is recommended for supplementary use, ranked in "3rd place"
Even just registering your profile to start with
might lead to unexpected requests coming your way.
