help me understand how and where to freelance a software dev project

Post date: 2019-04-16 06:34:14

I am considering launching a product. i have the complete marketing profile etc ready and am confident of it. i need to now have it developed (is that all?). i want to freelance a developer for this. help me with the challenges (AKA what don't I know that i don't know?)

my questions:

where should i post this project to find a freelancer (project is based in USA, florida)? I am looking for well informed or personal experience opinions (from either hirer or hiree, and "stay aways" are good as well as"this site rocked" suggestions)
how do i describe and obtain this work without jeopardizing the idea on the open market?
the project is only windows 10 and uses specialized (but well documented and publicized) video and audio output cards. does this add special challenge?
i have graphical illustrations of the software and narrative of function. what else do i need?
let's say this works, i get it built and sell it. is it relatively simple to then hire someone to transition management of the code internal (as opposed to freelance)??
what about development languages? should i bother trying to learn and be sepcific? is there a best practices general language now? how do i approach this?

i have loads of experience developing and launching products in a well developed company, but never on my own. things like software languages where solved by people i trusted within a corporate structure.... so that's why these are my main concerns!

feel free to offer other relevant knowledge that i am missing (As relates to the actual development process). I am very comfortable with PLM, and the marketing and sales of these products, as well as the industry i aim to enter (dominate!).
