Finding Good Affordable Programmers - IMS #125


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 something like CraigsList.com. 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.
