Ask Your Computer Question. Computer Experts Answer You ASAP.

(Not a Computer Question?)

Project # 1

Sent to Computer Experts March 4 2006 at 5:06 AM
   

The following is a project of my client, which you need to do.The
catch is that if you need any clarification the client would not
provide it. BUT I PREFER THAT YOU POST A VERY STRONG CLARIFICATION
FOR THIS PROJECT TO BE PUT IN FRONT OF THE CLIENT.

And .....

The client will pay $10 per hour so for this project you need to work
20 hours to earn $200. If you complete the project perfectly (if the
client says so), I will give you a handsome bonus.

And .....

Please keep a log of time as to how you completed the project
time-wise. Make it as more detailed as possible.

And.....

I have two more projects from the same client. If you work well on
this project, I will give you the next projects to you only.
_____________________________________________

Go to RSStoBlog.com and read all of the features and services and
capabilities of this software and list them. There are other software
products like this which only work with one blogging software pacakge
like WORD PAD, there are others which have different limitations. And
some of them require some computer programming competency that I don't
possess.

Here is what I want to achieve: The ability to select very specific
topics as well as general ones: "management" might be a general topic.
"small business management" might be more specific, and "small
business financial management" might be more specific.

Some of the various software packages search for all relevant new
internet postings and then will import to our blog or website only a
summary or the first few lines of the item. Some will extract both a
summary and the full item content. Some will do it without attribution
or inclusion of a link back to the source, and some will require
attribution but no active link, and still others will require both
attribution and an active link where clicking on the link takes the
reader to the source's site and does not keep the reader on my site.

I would like to have all of these options.

Here are some other sites to look at:

www.reblog.org
www.marketingslave.com
www.articleminer.com
www.blogtorank.com

All of these purport to constantly update a blog or a website,
AUTOMATICALLY, creating static pages and add metatags so that others
will link to the webpage, and the webpage will rank high in the search
engines.

An example of a site using reblog.org is www.tpwireservice.com. This
is the site of the famous TOM PETERS who sells lots of books and tapes
and consulting and information products. He must be using this to
drive traffic to buy his other products.

It is well done, and I would like to have that capacity within my
site, posibly in different categories. What I don't like about the
rsblog.org software is that if one clicks on the article in the
tpwire.com site you go to the page of the source article instead of
opening that source article in a window and keeping the reader on my
site. I would rather have the link be to the article itself without
the rest of the source website.

Optional Information:
OS: Other; Browser: IE

It is a new project to me. I can not do it myself, so I need help.

Do you already have a sight developed, or do you want this done from scratch?

From scratch, this project would be $1500+ if you are desiring a user based (login type) system.

I can post questions as you said.

But here is a catch.

I dont understand this project <<<at all>>>, and
my client must not understand that I am not doing the project (in this case you are doing it). All your communications should be as such that I can just copy and paste it to my client.

This is a condition. My client must not understand that I am not doing this project.

SO SEND ME A DETAILED WRITING OF WHAT I WILL SEND TO MY CLIENT, AND WHAT I WILL DO IN JUSTANSWER TO ASK A/TWO QUESTION(S) FOR YOU.

COMPILE WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN IN MY INBOX AND ABOVE AND ANY ADDITIONS TO BE SENT TO MY CLIENT.

LASTLY GIVE ME A CONFIRMATION THAT YOU WILL SAIL THROUGH THIS PROJECT PERFECTLY WITH 10 STARS OUT OF 10 STARS.

Ok - I will tell the truth to my client.

Now tell me step-by-step what to do from now. Write like 1...2..3..4..5..etc.

I am asking you questions like a school-going because really I dont understand a single word of this project.

So please help from step 1 to the last.

Well ... I need time to grasp what you just said. Its late night now. I will commence tomorrow this time.

Meanwhile if possible provide a full list of questions to my client to answer. Earlier he had refused to answer a query. So if I knock with more queries he would answer.

I dont need an external pro.

Can you do it at 10bucks/ hour ?

I will pay for works done in this website ONLY.

Its pre-historic greek to me. I can rely on you and will send the email to my client tomorrow. Ok ?

BTW what did you say I am in this project (in one of the above thread) ?
Answer

REPLIEDCheck Mark
Well lets define your involvement.

1. Customer Relations
2. Approve Project Scope
3. Contract with Scope Developer
4. Contract With Designer
5. Contract with Developer

By the above, it is safe to say that you will serve as your clients Project Manager, or coordinator.

You will follow the project through to his satisfaction. If you have any design capability you can tell him you will serve as his Project Design Manager.

Again, it is important to be honestand clear, anything else will bring problems, and possibly non-payment in the future.

Thanks,

Shane

NOTICE:

It is my desire to manage my time wisely, and as such, I will be leaving soon if you are not desiring to make any more progress today.

Let me know promptly if you are wanting to get started on the next step today.

I have an enormous personal problem.

I will send the email tomorrow with a detailed explanation to my client - he is my very old timed client.

Besides you and me can work today on anything you decide - because with your acceptance of this entire project it is your responsibility - not mine alone. But REMEMBER I will reward you properly - all I need is to complete all projects from this client through this site.

What do you think ?

That is fine, I am a supporter of this site, but am also a supporter of my family :-)

I will require payment at each step of this project.

Something for you to keep in mind, as with many other experts here, JustAnswer is not our only or primary source of income, it us subsidiary, we do what we can to help. An as such you need to understand that as we proceed, if you are wanting to complete this project successfully we need a "Project Scope" and payment schedule.

This is best for you, your client, JustAnswer, me, all parties involved will be benefited as well.

Do you want to proceed with the project scope developement, or skip directly to the Project Developement demo testing site?

It's upto you, at any rate I will require advanced payment as I cannot afford to invest immense amounts of time and have you disappear for another couple days :-)

I am sure you understand.

One thing you keep in mind ... your efforts will be rightly rewarded.

As I told you ... this project is very Greek to me ... what do you mean by ... "Do you want to proceed with the project scope developement, or skip directly to the Project Developement demo testing site?" ... Please explain in details.

All my job is to be a middle-man (!!!) between my client and you - this is as per the communications go.

The balls are either in your or the client's court. I am a mere spectator.

THIS PROJECT IS LIKE THIS !!!

I agree advance payments as I too like to work with advance payments. :)

Answer

REPLIEDCheck Mark
Ha, ok lets clear something up.

1. You should not view yourself as a middle man, you may be new at this but let me give you some FREE advice, middlemen tend to have to dodge alot. You need to step into your position as coordinator and make sure the client and the others involved stick around to see the project through.

2. Take every project you are hired to do as an opportunity to grow, try to learn as much as you can about each phase so in the future you can eliminate a few and handle them yourself.

3. The 'ball' as you put it, realistically must be in the court of the person paying. You know how much to, and not to burden the client with to keep from pushing him away, at the same time you can't push everything off on the designer or developer as it was not his idea that sparked the project in the first place.

So to proceed, lets move onto the project scope and project developement demo site.

I will develope a nice developement site for this project which will be broken into 3 main areas:

1. Outline of entire project scope from initial discussion phase to launch phase so that you will have a better idea of what needs to be done.

2. The demo sites, these demo sites will give you a detailed view of the available options/products we are willing to incorporate into your project, you explore the admin area control panel, and front end visitor views, and decide what you do and don't like about each one.

3. Track and detail area, this will house the descisions we make for changes throughout the project and determine how it will or will not effect the scope.

This phase is important as it will help mesh the ideas of you and your client with the developers.

I will require payment for this phase for a total on your part of $30.00: Terms:

start a $5.00 question and add a $25.00 Bonus.

Entitle the question:

"Project Scope and Demo Site Developement"

Keep in mind that this price is well below what most individuals would charge you, I am willing to do it for this price only to secure future progress, and none of the code for this sites developement will leave the server I put it on.

Thanks,

Shane

Reply to Shane's Post: Ok - I agree.

Let me email first to my client with the Questionaire and what you have written above.

Then let me have his reply, which I will forward to you.

Then I will post a 5 buck-question with 25 bucks bonus, as you said.

__________________________________________________

BTW I have another project for you, which I am asking here ... tell me how much you will take for this. Then if we agree, I will post it here for you.

__________________________________________________

The new project details below
__________________________________________________

I need a <<<complete>>> list of sites like Elance, RentACoder, ScriptLance, Customer (name blocked for privacy), Guru etc. where people post projects and gets bids from Programmers and then selects a bidder to work on a project. Then the Pro gets paid.

Please list the sites in order of popularity (say, in order of projects posted there - I think the first comes eLance, then RentACoder etc. ...)

I also need the list of the above sites with how much fee they charge to the project-posters.

Please : I need the list to be complete.

If you need clarifications, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

The new project will not be a problem.

Just let me know when you want it, I know developers that use these other sites, and will be able to compile a report for you with the pros, cons, and costs of each.

Just let me know when.
