Questions.
Are these projects realistic for freelancers and small studios?
Yes. You don’t need to be a 50-person agency to compete for the projects on the list.
The better question is whether the project lines up with work you can already show. Some opportunities will clearly be too large, too specialized, or have requirements that rule you out. Others will be right in range for an experienced freelancer or small studio.
You don’t need every opportunity. You need the right ones.
Aren’t RFPs a waste of time?
Some are. Some are written for a specific kind of vendor, buried in paperwork, or scoped in a way that makes no sense for your business. Skip those. Your time goes to the ones where your work is a clear fit, and the brief usually tells you which is which in a few minutes.
Can I find these on my own?
Absolutely. These aren’t secret projects.
You’re paying us to do that work continuously: finding the opportunities, opening the documents, reading the briefs, checking the deadlines, pulling out the important details and keeping everything organized in one place.
Where do you find these projects?
Everywhere organizations are actually posting them — procurement portals, organization websites, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google, bid boards, RFP directories, government systems, industry groups and more.
There isn’t one secret source. The advantage is searching broadly and consistently, recognizing what’s worth opening, reading the briefs, and filtering out what isn’t relevant.
How often are new projects added?
New opportunities are added every day, and members get a complete roundup every Friday.
You’re not buying a static list that slowly goes stale. The dashboard keeps changing as new projects open and older ones close.
Are all of the projects $10K+?
Bigger Budget Projects is focused on bigger-budget website work, especially projects in the $10K+ range.
Not every organization publishes a budget, though, and occasionally a project may fall below that threshold while still being relevant enough to include.
When a budget is stated, we show it. When it isn’t, we make that clear rather than pretending we know something the organization didn’t publish.
What kinds of projects and organizations are included?
You’ll see website redesigns, rebuilds, migrations, accessibility work, digital strategy, CMS projects and related web work from nonprofits, associations, municipalities, universities, cultural organizations, public agencies and other organizations.
The common thread is that they’re actively looking for outside help with a real project.
Do I need previous RFP or government experience?
No.
Relevant experience matters more than being an “RFP expert.”
If an organization wants a nonprofit website and you can show strong nonprofit work, that matters. If they need a Drupal migration and you’ve done several Drupal migrations, that matters.
Some opportunities do require specific experience, certifications, insurance, registrations or other qualifications. Those are things to evaluate before deciding whether a project is worth pursuing.
How competitive are these projects?
It varies.
Some RFPs attract a lot of responses. Others receive surprisingly few.
Don’t assume a public RFP automatically means you’re competing against 100 giant agencies. Look for projects where your experience, positioning and portfolio give the buyer a clear reason to take you seriously.
Vic ignored RFPs for years, then won two projects from the list.
What does it actually take to win one?
There isn’t one trick.
The strongest opportunities are usually the ones where the buyer can quickly see a connection between what they need and work you’ve already done.
Read the brief carefully. Follow the instructions. Show relevant experience. Answer what they’re actually asking for. Make it easy for the buyer to understand why you fit the project.
You don’t need to chase everything. The goal is alignment, not volume.
How do I know which projects are worth pursuing?
Start with fit.
Look at the scope, budget, deadline, location, platform, required experience and any mandatory qualifications. Then ask yourself:
Can I point to work I’ve already done that makes me credible for this?
If the answer is yes, read the full RFP.
If you have to talk yourself into why you qualify, it’s probably not the one.
What happens after I join?
You get access to the member dashboard, where you can browse current opportunities, see budgets and deadlines, filter the list, open the original RFPs and save promising projects to your own pipeline.
You don’t have to take a course or wait for a cohort to start.
Open the dashboard, find something that fits, read the brief and decide whether you want to pursue it.
What if I don’t win anything?
You might not, especially at first. Membership gets you the projects and the briefs. Winning still takes fit, a clear proposal and a few attempts. If you’ve found one and want help with it, email me.
What if I join and don’t find anything worth pursuing?
Keep checking as new projects are added every day.
And if your first 30 days don’t turn up projects worth pursuing, email me and I’ll refund you.
No forms. No long-term commitment. You can cancel anytime.
