• I’ve been on Seeking for a while now and not luck at all , am I ugly ?

  As to your photos: invest in these. Don't post selfies, rather *hire* a professional or semi-professional photographer and do this the right way. You can find one via thumbtack.com, expect to spend $150-200 and you'll get some amazing photos. Source: 12 months ago

• What do you think about a fitness marketplace?

  Other than bark.com, thumbtack.com, findmytrainer.com, or the many other sites and apps that connect clients to trainers? Even a google search for "athletic trainers [my town]" yields dozens of results in any sizable community, and there's lots of review and feedback components for these listings. What do you envision bringing to the table that these sites and apps aren't already doing that would make it... Source: about 1 year ago

• Integrating leads with airtable.

  I use airtable as a arm and I would like for leads from a job board (thumbtack.com) to automatically link to my base. Anyone have experience creating a extension to do this? Source: over 1 year ago

  If you have chosen the area of web design, you should try to market it on your own. Professionals will charge you arm and leg and you won't get any lead at the end. First try advertising it on your own. If you fail, try a professional help, but be ready to loose all the money you spend in advertising. It's difficult segment you are in. Instead there are some websites, where you can find some clients, who are... Source: about 1 year ago

• Hey guys, is anyone here alright with their life?

  Bootstrap yourself with freelance work right from the start. I tried elance.com (now upwork.com) years ago and holy fuck this is not a get-rich-quick scheme. The idea is that you start out making ridiculously cheap bids to get the work, then earn reputation through doing that well, and gradually are able to increase your rates. Of course there's no mentorship doing it this way, so unless you're super good at... Source: almost 2 years ago

• My experience working with artists as an indie dev

  There are sites like Upwork.com (formerly elance.com) or freelancer.com, which are not focused particularly on gamedev artist type of work, but offer a wide range of hiring possibilities. The advantage is that you need to post spec of the work you need done, then some users (artists) will submit bids and you choose based on the price and the profile/rating of the artists. You pay the full price in advance, but the... Source: over 2 years ago
