Hello Lewis,

Surely it would be more beneficial for your company, and profitable for you, to have an agreement with a freelancer, that whilst you are still setting it all up, you pass them the work.

This way, rather than turning clients away, you can still take the 10-15% and you can show the client how good your service is, and they will then refer you, giving you the potential for it to snowball and get bigger and bigger.

I know the feeling, one of the pins holding the screen casing back and front together has come out on mine, meaning i cant close the lid.

Went to 2 repair shops, both quoted me £150 to replace it......

I'll just buy another laptop the next time i see them in sainsburys for £300 (and girlfriend gets 10% off that) or the notepads they sometimes do for £100.

I have to agree with IanC here.

It is something that i may be interested in, but at the present stage, it feels alot like it is just in the planning stage.

If you only get 2 jobs in, how do you decide which 18 developers to tell that they dont get the workload?

If you dont have that much web or project management experience, would you not be better to just outsource the lot to one big team and take your 20% finders fee (making you a salesperson, reducing the amount of work you have to physically do for that percentage)

Who is building your site? Have you budgeted for that if you need someone to do it?


I look forward to your replies to the questions put forwad by myself and Ian.

So many people ask that darren.... it loses the comedy value


Im not the sort of person to do a run like this (swimming, cycling etc, im fine, just running doesnt really interest me), so i wouldnt do a 6 mile, ill blame it on my asthma.

As for food, ive literally just got back from my holiday abroad, so i think its going to be a strict regime to cut out alot of the junkfood, so im half a stone lighter before i do it.

I play abit of texas hold em on facebook, thats about it as far as poker goes for me.

Used to be fairly good at blackjack, would love to try online (learn how to count....) but too many systems in effect to prevent us winning.
