Hi Foamcow
Thanks for your reply
I agree with some what you wrote in your reply
The prices for your services are a bit too high.
Especially when you have people in Bangladesh charging much lower than that, and they have a lot of qualified people there.
I did have somebody do work for me from there and it was very good.
But still this time I want to work with someone who lives here.
You raised some important issues.
1) we do have online store locally where people sell their used stuff.
But I think there is room for more people to enter.
I personnaly don't know anyone who has bought anything from Amazon.
I know that here are many businesses that would like to sell on a place like this and many consumers would like to buy from a place like this.
I have bought from ebay I think they do better over here.

Thanks.
My charges are pretty much spot on for the level of service I provide In fact, I do tend to undervalue work (a habit I am getting out of!)

Rentacoder is a special case as I was competing against, as you say, people from Bangladesh, India, Eastern Europe etc where the cost of living is lower. I have no doubt there are many skilled coders working there, but it does say something when clients still use me via Rentacoder after using low cost services. They are willing to pay a premium for someone who thinks rather than just bangs out code.

I don't work through Rentacoder anymore as I don't need to and I found it just wasn't worth it.

Ultimately you get what you pay for.

You paid $150 for a template you weren't happy with. One of my clients paid me $400 for a template they were very happy with and worked very well for them. These coding teams are like factories with lots of people that don't really care what they pump out so long as it passes inspection and they get paid. I'd liken myself more to a craftsman - low volume, high quality as opposed to high volume and 'who cares'.

Incidentally, I'm not touting my services as I'm way too busy!

Amazon does have small branches in every city and every country. They're call Associates and we advertise and sell everything that A has to offer(some 5M+ items). Some of these associates made hundreds (and more) per month with nothing but an investment of time and a hosting site. A's commission rate may not be the highest, but they have the name recognition.
