Ask HN: Would you like a referral fee for projects you can't do now?

As a freelance developer, I deal with the typical feast & famine problem of projects. Some times during the year, I get lots of project requests and other times I get none. When I have lots, I leave a lot of money on the table because I usually am up to my ears and I don't want to take on any more nor do I want to hire someone.

But when I am free, I have to start looking for projects again.

Then it occurred to me that I would love to be able to pass along the excess projects I get, for a referral fee (say 5% of the value of the project). But the obvious issue with that is that I would need to have a constant network of developers with different skillsets that can competently complete those projects.

So what I would like to do is develop a network that does two things.

1. Rewards you for passing along a project/client. 2. Manages the completion of those projects.

So my questions to HN are: 1. Do you have excess projects that you get from time-to-time that you would be willing to pass along to a network like this? 2. Do you have projects that you would like completed where other marketplaces/platforms haven't worked well for you? If so, would you care to share your concerns. 3. Would you want to be a participant in this network to work on projects/gigs that are passed along to you?

Another thing I was thinking is that say you have a project you want to pass along, but you want to project manage it (almost like being a product owner), then we could facilitate that for a higher fee than the 5%.

All of this is obviously very immature, and still at the idea stage.

I would love your feedback on everything, how I can improve the idea, what are things I am not considering, etc.
