So I wrote my offers on quite a few WTB threads here in the past week and I thought I'd get some responses or answers through PM... But nothing. Even in threads that have no other reply but my own didn't convert into business. I have sent quite a few private messages as well along with "I can make you the analysis you want", "I can organize that for you in 30 minutes" kind of replies in WTB threads. It's almost midnight in my timezone and that's really frustrating Give me some positive words!
You are a relatively new member. Your responses to threads should always be in a conversation, give a link to the thread and give an explanation (that isn't cut and paste) about why you should be given the work. Post elsewhere in the forum so that when someone does their due diligence on you they can see what your attitude is like and see examples of your expertise.
I agree with sarahk. Oh, and don't be offended. Sometimes I would just want offers to come in and then respond to the ones I was interested in. That and I would recommend pm's over a plain response to a wtb thread. Best of luck!
