$50 buys you a maximum of 30 minutes of an experienced person's time. And if that's your upper limit, most experienced folks won't bother.
You might find a decent person in a developing country who will trade a couple hours for that same amount, but the search will be time consuming (ergo expensive).
There is the issue of trust -- keys to the kingdom, etc. And availability -- do you need same day response time?
You might be asking for more than you're willing to pay for.
Edit: this service does exist, of course. But nowhere near your stated price point.
Edit again: you'll find that people are happy to answer your questions about how to do things, for free. But the tedious process of doing those things, and taking responsibility for the success of the actions, as defined by you -- who might not have fully specified or understood the implications of your request -- that won't be free. :)
- sgdesign 14y agoYou're right, the price of such a service would probably be much higher. If I took an audit of how much time I spend on this stuff monthly, I'm guessing paying $200-500 would not seem out of proportion. Anyway it's just speculation at this point until someone points me to/builds such a marketplace.
