Useful website for freelancers

Discussion in 'General Business' started by varun8211, Jul 15, 2007.

    We have created a search engine of freelance projects that aggregates the projects from multiple freelance websites . You can search by your keyword or budget range.

    Above all, you can save the keywords and get the instant notifications in your emails .

    URL : http://www.freelanceprojectupdates.com

    I would like to show this business idea to all the programmers/designers/entrepreneurs here and want their reviews/suggestions for improvement and making it more useful..

    Please advice

    Thanks

    Nice job. It makes life easier instead of searching each site.

    Cool website and a great resource. Not sure what else you could really do to improve it for us.

    The site looks nicely done, but I will be surprised if you get a high CTR. As soon as people search they are going to start clicking links of the jobs, which takes them away from your site.

    Tiny point - personally I think you have too many animated images here, makes it hard to read them all. None of them really need to be animated, I would only use 1 animated, max.

    Yes, actually this is the whole point . I think people will come back to our site to find the latest projects filtered to their choice. Plus we are also giving email notifications that will really help them to see projects ONLY which they want.

    yah i figured its a copy of getafreelancer.com and thanks to you i wasnt going to pay a visit to my account and new projects of getafreelancer.com

    you have to have your own projects to be a profitable freelancing site.

    well, it is NOT a freelancing website. It is just a search engine to help people find the projects of their interest from ALL the freelancing websites on the web.
    we have developed crawlers that extract and aggregate latest projects from all of them every hour

    it's indeed a nice website but it's true that you have to have your own projects. Each project is linking to another site.

    regards

    Yes, we do not intend to make another Elance/Getafreelancer/Rentacoder . .The idea is different.
