That is some excellent marketing copy. If you&#x27;d said &quot;it&#x27;s just a freelance job posting aggregator with a newsletter as its interface&quot;[0], I probably would have closed the window pretty quickly. Instead, you spent that space talking about the value proposition it provides (maybe a <i>little</i> too in-depth), an only brushing on the features. It&#x27;s not too vague that I don&#x27;t know what I&#x27;m getting, but it&#x27;s not too specific that I think &quot;$40 seems steep for a mailing list.&quot;<p>I don&#x27;t even freelance, and I almost want to subscribe. :)<p>[0] That&#x27;s what I got out of the pitch, anyway; I could have misunderstood.

If this works as advertised, it&#x27;s pretty cool! I have a few questions though:<p>How exactly do you find the leads? Did you write software to do it (and if so, how does it work?) or are you manually searching for leads?<p>Does everyone get the same leads? That is, if I were to sign up for the web developer leads, does that mean that every other person who signed up for the web developer leads gets the same 5-10 leads per day&#x2F;week and I have to compete with all your other customers for them? Or do you have a big pool of equal quality leads and randomly select a small number to send to each person?<p>Also, friendly typo alert: &quot;I&#x27;m an independent designer who&#x27;s worked with startups, ad agency&#x27;s&quot; should be &quot;I&#x27;m an independent designer who&#x27;s worked with startups, ad agencies&quot;<p>Overall, this looks pretty cool. Good luck!

I signed up a few days ago. The leads are good, but there aren&#x27;t that many (5-10 per day). Do you see the number of leads growing? Eventually the leads you send will get pestered to death the larger your list grows, unless you can scale your list as you scale your customer base. I can see that really biting you. Based on your pricing, I can&#x27;t see it being viable unless you can at minimum 10x&#x27;ing your leads list.

Interesting idea for a service. Not sure if it would&#x27;ve solved my problems when I freelanced though, since the biggest time sink wasn&#x27;t finding leads, it was all the communication before even starting a project to determine what they really needed in the first place, breaking it down by scope, priority, timing, etc.

It&#x27;s not SaaS if there&#x27;s no code. The first &quot;S&quot; is software.<p>That nit aside, the site looks nice. Good luck!

Looks pretty nice, however the $40&#x2F;month seems a bit pricey to me in my current situation (3 month contract coming to an end - may or may not be more work, so I want to keep my options open). Have you thought about taking a commission of jobs you fill a la recruiters?<p>Edit: Also great marketing copy!

While this is a great concept, I am not so sure if this will help freelancers in the long run.<p>As this service becomes more popular, freelancing subscribers will be hurt from the success. More subscribing freelancers? More competition for leads, and once again the same problem of driving down the wage.<p>As the website states, the pool of freelancing opportunities are pretty limited. It&#x27;ll more or less stay around the same. So I feel that this service will have same problem like craigslist, odesk etc, but even worse while paying $40&#x2F;month or $480&#x2F;year.

Pretty cool. Although my worry as a freelancer is not that I can&#x27;t find leads or don&#x27;t have time to find leads, but that I find it hard to close.

I signed up, hopefully the money I spent helping a fellow HNer out, comes back to me with interest. The sign up was pretty painless, though an email on what to do next would be very helpful for new signups.

It says $1.30 &#x2F; day but I only see the ability to pay per month. Is it possible to do like a week instead of a full month? Trying to evaluate if the leads match what I&#x27;m looking for.

I was interested in the &quot;with no code&quot; addendum but couldn&#x27;t find more details on your page. Mind elaborating on that (and on why you felt it was an important bit to share)?

Great idea! You&#x27;re going to be making money hand-over-fist!<p>You already have great ideas for the product road map, (skill personalization, etc) and how to scale!<p>Excited to see a post about the status in 6 months!

These are not personalised — so everyone gets the same list?

good idea, just quick question, will you add skill stack match feature? e.g i can setup my skill stack in your service and the mails send to me are match my skill.
