The HireMeAspen Beta Website Launched Today!

After a little more than a year of extremely hard work, I am thrilled to announce that today marks the day that my website comes to life.

It's amazing to think of all the events that transpired in order to get to this point, and I'm extremely proud that my team and I stayed the course and created a worthwhile website for the Aspen locals.

A Little History...

The idea came to life a little over a year ago...when the perfect storm occured. I had been dating a guy who needed to promote his independent contractor business, but how could he get the word out on a limited budget? With the economy tanking, commissions from my corporate job dried up so how could I earn extra money on the side? And Craigslist had just announced earnings of $100,000,000. I thought "wow" b/c that site sure is ugly, but functional.

As a former Director of Media Sales at a Fortune 500 company, I'd called on all the top media companies ranging from The New York Times to USA Today to CNN Money, licensing content which could be monetized. I learned a lot during this gig. Mostly, I learned that local content is king.

I was fortunate enough to experience a work from home situation in that position, so I moved from NYC back to Aspen where I always was happiest. At that time, I knew I wanted to bring my knowledge and expertise to the local community, but just needed to find the perfect opportunity. So after many late nights, creative brainstorms and lots of laughs, my company, Sharing Profiles, was born.

HireMeAspen is the first of many local websites planned, so stay tuned!

I intend to stay true to my vision of offering websites that connect and help resort-town locals.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me in this endeavor to date. I am eternally grateful.

What's Our Site All About?

We've all heard the old adage about resort towns: "You either own three homes or you work three jobs." 

Well, HireMeAspen is here to help cross that divide by connecting local hirers with part-time workers.

• Do you need to make extra money on the side, but just don't know how to spread the word?
• Do you need a worker to get a job done, but just don't know who to call?

HireMeAspen.com will help.

When a part-time worker posts their profile on HireMeAspen.com, they will have the opportunity to promote themselves in multiple job categories (we have over 150 job categories to choose from), increasing their chances of not only getting hired doing work they love, but earning lots of extra money on the side.

There will be many more bells and whistles and tools and functionality that come with the site, but the main focus is connecting locals.  Other features and benefits include:

• Hirers can search for free!
• Workers can post a profile in multiple job categories!
• Workers can connect with other workers, and even join a crew!
• Workers can track their jobs!
• Hirers can rate a worker!
• Workers can rate a boss!
• Workers set their fees, and their availability!
• Hirers can view worker references!
• Hirers and workers can track their projects!
• Workers gain access to The Hive and lots of other advantages of being a member!

And we won't stop in Aspen. We'll be launching other Colorado resort town websites in the coming months. 

So stay tuned....there's lots more on the horizon as we start turning on these sites!
