    I need three people to do 30 post per day for the next 30 days. You will be focused on 1 site and 1 site only. The job pays $0.15 per post, once a week via paypal or stormpay. Becuase this is an important site with an important job, we will only consider dp members with a very strong feedback rating and strong background of posting on dp. Please PM ONLY and we will make a decision within 24 hours. I say PM only because I know that a few people will request information via this thread and that's the first sign that they can not follow directions and will not be considered for the job.

    I understand this may seem like a lucrative opportunity but please save us both some time and clicking ;)

    People with less than 500 post and an itrader of 50 on DPF need not apply. Anyone who applies to this job who does not meet this criteria will not receive a response.

    I am sorry but this is an important job and while we employ a lot of people that don't meet that criteria, this job must be done properly and while I imagine many people who do not meet that criteria could do it, this needs to be done professional and quickly.

    I would say you should know that someone with 500+ posts and 50+ itrader is making much more than you would offer ($135). Your $0.15/post is insulting to almost ANY member on DP but I do wish you good luck with it.

    One more thing. When I've read your topic I thought it's 135/day, so you should better tell people it's not ;)

    ps: you are not up to 500 posts or 50 itrader .. hmmmm.

    I disagree.. sometimes you need money, besides his website niche is the same as DP's so theres not much harm in posting there.. it merely makes you post a bit more then normal. Now the 50+ iTrader requirement is a bit much lol..

    You are right, it is a bit extreme but what's more extreme is when I ask on many occasions that people at least be active and have at least 1 itrade feedback and I get 200 PM's from people asking to give them a try. What's even more extreme is when I give 5 to 10 newbies a try and it turns out to be a big mistake because giving them a try waste their time and mine. Ultimately I want to be fair to all people and will certainly consider all people regardless of rank or post but I just don't have the time or patience to deal with fly by night people who otherwise just want to earn a quick buck and not do a job properly.

    pc_user you are correct man..

    but people with 50 itraders and 500 posts wont have started with that mark only

    they built that coz they got the chance and the jobs

    i am saying this just cause i dont think its the only thing that shows professionalism

    but you know better than me coz you are much more experienced then me on dp

    wish you luck for your work

    have a nice day

    gauravjain26, let me give you an example, in the last two weeks, we have hired, bought from or sold to about 100 people on dpf. Now these are estimates but I'll try to give you some idea. Of those 100 people, I'd estimate that at least 90% of them did a sale, transfer or exchange without a problem. Great, right?

    On the flip side, about 5 of them either didn't deliver or delivered poorly. More so, at least 3 of them just took the money and ran and or haven't delivered as of yet. And another 2 just wont respond. Of course these are estimates but are probably pretty on the money.

    Now, of the 10 that were what I call "problem users" how do they rate. Again on an estimate basis, about 8 of those had either postings under 20 on dpf and across the board a feedback rating of under 10.

    Sure, without a doubt, that still leaves 2 people with positive ratings who for which one reason or another didn't come through but it's a numbers game.

    Bottom line is, without a doubt I know, accept and deal with the occasional "problem user", ultimately it's about risk verses reward, the reward of finding great deals, low cost labor and a good exchange of services and items far out ways the occasional problem but it is what it is.

    Net, net is, while more often than not, we will run jobs where virtually anyone can and should apply, once in a while we'll run a job where the delivery, quality and time really matter and as such, we can't afford to take too many risk. Again, not the norm but it does happen.

    Well maybe 500+ posts is the right criteria, but 50+ itrader seems a bit too much really, even after reading all your comments above. After all, not all dp members hang out in the services and business section entirely. Many of us joined it because its a huge webmaster community, and we can share our knowledge here. I've personally learnt a lot during my relatively short time here and I'm still learning.

    Getting good business is one positive attribute of it, but not the sole criteria for being a dp member. Therefore 50+ itrader requirement might be hitting below the belt for some.

    Sar420, I agree. That # is an arbitrary # and in fact, just the sticker price so to speak. In fact, the two people we hired didn't have it. Ultimately, like anything else, it's mean to deter the would be newbies who continue to ask "Give me a try, you wont be dissapointed" and ultimately just saves time all around.

    At the end of the day, the op is making an offer of employment therefore he has the right to stipulate the requirements he wants the prospective employee to have.

    It's like any job offer, they all state what minimum skills/qualification/experience you should have before applying. This is no different.

    pc_user i can understand your point man...
    and thanks for your reply...

    the only thing i wanna tell you is to ask if you can make a record about who all are the regular job askers from you....

    means who all pm you everytime you ask for posters or offer any job...

    this way you will get to know that who are responsible and dedicated people from new users and if these people will be given chance with the quote that they are getting chance just cause its the xth time they were asking

    i think he/she will give his/her best
    and as far as running is concerned you can apply this only when you need to pay after you are done with your work

    thats my suggestion
    this talk will realy help me pc_user
    (now i wil not forget to ask for itraders from all those for whom i have worked
    i have done 11 jobs successfully from dp in 13 days and got just 1 itrader coz i didnt know what it values)

    thanks for explaining in detail

    I can see where you are coming from but the 50 iTraders is unreasonable. Especially when you undermine yourself and say the 2 you accepted did not have that. If you make a requirement you should definately enforce it or how can you expect others to respect it? Very few people have 50 iTraders, and I don't know how many with them would even be interested in this offer.
