Andrew (Founder of NFH) here to answer this one myself.
Because this is really important to me.
The short answer: Yes!
Longer answer: The PRO membership is designed to be a win / win / win. '
We call this the Win - Win - Win Initiative.
1. A win for you. Because you can afford to purchase the services that your music needs.
2. A win for our musicians. Even though they are being hired at rates that are a fraction of their normal fee, we make sure that they still (on average) make around $40 an hour. We can make this happen because all of the flat rates you pay for services go directly to them. We (NFH as a business) only keep the subscription fee.
Beyond that,
we manage all orders,
handle all communications with clients (that's you!),
create charts
and manage all files.
This means that all our musicians have to do is sit down at their instrument and do what they do best: help bring your song to life.
Not only that, but we build in enough turnaround time that our musicians can "batch" orders and be as efficient as possible with their time.
AND we have a hyper curated PRO team of musicians that only grows as the volume of orders grow. So while they may be working for lower rates than they usually do, they get more orders more often. And consistency is huge in the freelance space.
3. What about that 3rd win? That "win" is a win for our business model. Subscriptions allow us to make consistent revenue and therefore provide a service like this that creates a win for you and our musicians.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk :)
