Finding Good Affordable Programmers
Question:
You're a top notch internet marketer, and know several
other successful marketers, I was wondering if you could
please give me some advice on how to find a good
programmer?
I need a programmer experienced in PHP, MySQL, Linux and
creating spiders. I have tried most of the freelance sites,
for over two years, with little success. Any
recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Answer: Sure... if you've exhausted the usual freelance
sources, maybe try a couple of forums or private sites. Go
where the programmers hang out, and ask in their forums.
Check the search engines for things like, "MySQL forum" and
"Linux forum" and ask for help.
Another hangout is the Keyword Avalanche. Of all the
private sites, they seem to have the greatest number of
programmers. If you join up for a month and start asking
the membership, I'm sure their... sphere of influence, will
find you someone.

Another option might be classified ad sites
like Craig's List. They are one of the top 50
sites on the internet, according to Alexa's traffic
data. If you place your classified ads there, they
have a good chance of being spotted by someone who's
qualified, and meets your needs.
CraigsList is also good place for marketing your services,
if you go about it the right way, and advertise only in the
services section. Read the terms of service before posting.
If you qualify, your classified ads could be running on one
of the hottest, and most popular, sites on the web.
