in fact, most of the other boards that people told me to post on because they are "all business" are usually full of cheap fuckers, people that want everything but complain even when you offer the lowest price you could imagine for the product.....but when I post on gfy I never get one single person complaining, and on top of that I end up with a completely booked week
for instance, I made ONE single post on there wednesday of last week and have been booked solid all weekend from that one post....Gonzo can tell you, I am working my little tushy off lately and making some pretty decent money....all from GFY
I made the same post on 6 "real business" boards last Monday and got one person wanting to hire me

I will agree with you on that point.
If I'm actively marketing something, you'll see me show up on GFY a bit more regularly to push it. It's simply a question of number of eyeballs.
However, I dont actively go over there looking for business and certainly dont want that to become a place where I *have* to hang out because people expect support questions answered there. The volume is too much. If I were actively using GFY as part of my business, I'd have to buy an ad over there and hire someone to pretty much do nothing but monitor it. Otherwise I'd spend all my time on the board and have no time to actually do the work I was generating.
Right now, I'm maxed out as is....I dont need/want any more work than I already have. So you'll find me in places that I *want* to read. I dont see that changing before end of summer. As always, what most people call the "summer slowdown", I call "retool time" to have new stuff ready for the fall when the dorms open back up.
