PRICING MENU
Our freelancers come from all kinds of backgrounds, some were training to be doctors, some are fully trained software developers, others are honors students and teachers. We have a reasonable amount of confidence in their capabilities of learning basic virtual marketing.
However, they are in the process of an experimental autodidactic training model wherein your needs are their study materials. After receiving your approval every item is vetted through our US team in control of public posting. Our "bids only + trade welcome" pricing model is designed to accommodate our appreciation for your trust in our social experiment.
Most of our freelancers struggle to afford basic necessities like food and WiFi (as of now, Cat is footing those bills). Consider offering a small donation in advance of the work being completed, and one upon satisfactory completion. The chart below outlines general pricing models for similar services completed in the US, and the one below that depicts some of the freelancer's expenses to provide a ballpark for a reasonable bid.

Cat
Former honors student, actor, Fulbright Scholar and exotic dancer, Cat worked in marketing until mental health struggles made the standard 9-5 unsustainable. This Hail Mary is a dedicated effort to fix everything by a person crazy enough to try. It might fail, but so has everything else so far.
Welcome to the social experiment.
Don't mind us, we're just quietly disrupting the system.
71 Connections marketers is comprised of non-business people and foreigners in poverty who can’t navigate the business world effectively enough to not get screwed, just like many people who would love to be socially impactful entrepreneurs. So we’re doing something nuts. We’re trusting people to have pride in their impact on others. It is absolutely a risk, but so is continuing this cannibalistic exploitation culture.
Looking for a deal when the world just needs a meal
None of us are entirely sure what happens in those corporate board rooms where life-changing decisions that favor a "good" deal over having an impact on the world that won't haunt the decision-makers in the afterlife. But we are praying if offered an alternative people will prefer a system of mutual benefit and open door details.
Cat's ancestor was the noblest pirate on the seas
Family lore of reasonable credibility according to the family Bible indicate Bartholomew Roberts, the most successful pirate in the Golden Age of Piracy, was one of my ancestors. Known for his democratic "Articles of Agreement," the Dread Pirate Roberts recognized that even when surrounded by corruption it is a worthy effort to treat others with dignity.
The crew so far
Join us in the effort to build a social sanctuary on our pirate ship of societally brokenhearted nerds with haphazard charisma and spontaneous outbursts of passion.

“Years of inconsistent or nonexistent work opportunities have been doing the most to extinguish my inner flame. 71 Connections may be named for the waters, but this project has but I can feel that red roaring again.”
These thoughts are more relevant than random.
There is no exit strategy for exploitation culture.
We're surrounded by such an overwhelming majority of exploitation scenarios that it has become foolish to assume exploitation is not the higher likelihood when evidence is unclear. We don't know how to fix that, but hey, let's take a swing with a dirty pirate ship full of angry losers.
We just need a fucking solution.
We don't have time for the "so excited to share cultures and create new experiences" stuff. Yeah, that will be great, but cmon we are hungry, exhausted, and in physical danger. And we're just a handful of an unreasonable majority. So I think we need to fuck the niceties and find a solution.
Nobody wants to eat a billionare.
We really don't know anything about being a billionaire. Probability suggests it's actually pretty scary. Probability also indicates there are threats and technologies and justifiable fears in a capacity that is positively alien to us. As far as I am concerned, they are invited to supper. With the way things are going it could be the last one we all get to have together.
Who here speaks dolphin?
We are obsessed with alien life and how to communicate with it as we sit here swamped in alien intelligence that has been so heartbreakingly disregarded that once we are able to engage meaningfully it will be too late to apologize. Either way, I'd like to be done with the racism, sexism, and all the other God Damned isms keeping us from asking the whales if they know what we dream or seeing if the gorillas want to learn to dance.
You might never hear from us, but sure sign up or whatever.
The plan is to just absolutely never have regularly scheduled content. Client content is our number one priority and this is an organization run by mental health savants and impoverished geniuses, so what comes from it will be a surprise for all of us.
