I've heard of friends being propositioned to build a Groupon clone for $500. And an iPhone app for $600. What's the most ridiculous freelance projects you've been asked to do?
Recently, an iPhone app (which expanded to Android & Blackberry too by the 2nd email - for the same price). I was also required to give guarantees, under penalty of compensation, that Apple would accept it into the app store. I was told the budget was $800 with a possible $200 bonus if it was done within 2 weeks.
I've had worse offers in the past but this one was from someone I understand to be fairly well known on the American morning TV circuit.
Build the 'new" Facebook for a 50% equity stake and no cash. Also the "new" facebooks strategy was to get into all of the Greek scenes and use them as a way to spread. I think they literally watched The Social Network and for verbatim copied the growth strategy but tried to pivot it a little. They also wanted me to sign a non-disclosure because they thought the were on to something. :P
work for free and get a "stake" in the business (such as stock, etc), I've had some retards on craigslist send me emails offering this, of course I just deleted it
