I'm curious to know what you mean by "please don't do this".. I'd really appreciate if you could elaborate for me.

It's not a matter of sucking it up. OP clearly has emotional difficulties. It would be nice if OP could share a lil about his relation with his father.

OP maybe suffering from manic depression (note:not depression). The post, like the one linked here and apathy towards family/dad's business, shows a case of depression but the kind of skill OP has demonstrated through projects pos

I love the quality of replies that you guys are providing!! I think I'm gonna combine your hook and newsletter idea with another posters landing page idea . If I have a good running email list it'll be way easier to get things of

That's the plan @rublev :) I'd be great if you guys could point me in the right direction but within the context of this project .

Initial goal was #1 but no freelancer will stay on the site unless theres a steady flow of projects . So it turns out #1 is not a very sustainable model. The model will have to eventually move towards #2 But it's definitely not necessa

I agree with you completely. I built this prototype as a quick bare bones weekend project . Now Im looking to do the marketing and build on top of what I have or even throw away what I have and rebuild according to real market feedback. A
