   Exactly what I've been seeing. I assumed as a Jr. Developer, I could take less money for the opportunity to hone my skills and eventually become a better member of the team. I've yet to find these opportunities.

   In my experience looking for work, almost no one I've interviewed with asked or cared about my freelance work.

   Do junior development/design jobs exist anymore? Can't find work.

   Lacking detail, but an interesting piece nonetheless. The novelty has probably worn off, and if you can't get beyond things most people never buy, like spa treatments and luxury items, then it's going to be tough to keep the momentum going.

   I'm also interested in this, but as an interviewee. Personally, I like in person interviews better than phone interviews, which I've found to be very formal and unpleasant.

   Seems that many people have had success using a blog as a launching platform and then using print on demand or going straight to Kindle. That said, if you can create your own .mobi or PDF that would be even better.

   It must work, because I'd wager that there are more spam blogs/sites than good blogs/sites. God help you if you try to find legitimate information on health or insurance.

   Marketing. They need more inventory IMO. Many of my favorite destinations are sorely lacking in AirBnB rentals.
