that was me 2 years ago. I considered elance (couldn't afford it), recruited 1 cs buddy I went to high school with (he was busy doing his own things), so I figured I had no choice but to learn to program. I found HN, which introduced me to Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial, and I just launched my first app: http://www.fanscription.com Oh, and I'm an Econ/Business Major.

Doing beats talking every day of the week. Which is what a lot of these callers mentioned probably do wrong.

I love your front page.

Have you gotten much response from businesses that want to use your service? How are you advertising?

Thanks! I launched the site just a week ago and have been in talks with a few local businesses who want to sign up. As far as advertising goes, I'm starting locally here in Austin and hope to gradually spread out over time. I love the fact that I'm learning/making mistakes/improving as a make progress.
