Ben Huffman, CEO and carbon- founder of Contra, knows what it takes to operate a powerful blogging part rush. Huffman got first experience in the blogging space as a music manufacturer, working with little brands and, finally, Sony Music. The work was fun but “did n’t pay well”, he tells Entrepreneur, so he started designing apps, pitch decks and websites. Huffman became a “power user” on Elance and Odesk, which may merge to be Upwork, and immediately “became fascinated” with the idea of building a team worldwide.
Huffman recalls that I would look for jobs locally in New York and then work with freelancers from all over the world to give me the skills I did n’t have. ” I loved the freedom and autonomy of working autonomously, but even more, I loved working with people from different cultures and backgrounds. I soon became aware of the shortcomings in the business concepts of the websites I used.
