a question/answer interview is not a good way to learn what the candidate knows or not.

just let him tell you about projects that he worked in the past, and interrupt from time to time with relevant questions. you'll get a better sense of what he knows/does not know from that.

the general advice is to focus on one project at a time. However, I can't do that.. I am currently working on 3-4 projects, besides my one-man consultancy business. I can't say I'm profitable with any yet though.

Freelancer/seeking freelancer thread here. I've posted once, and already talked to someone.

Something that has really worked for me is create a wrapper over a popular JS component, and sell it(flexigrid-asp.net). It had brought be a couple of really good clients over time + some extra income.

Besides GA, which I use for the public website, I am using an in-house web app to track activation and frequency of use.

My app is a windows app, not web. Mixpanel is nice, but it doesn't quite fit my case where I need to see individual events, per user.

thanks for the tip. The numbers were always saying to give up, since I put way too much effort, with little reward...

about your first observation, don't know if the name is what's wrong...

that's exactly what my app does: it uses the cloud to keep any documents you open :)

this sounds like a great idea! I also like the copy & presentation...

what happens when JS is off? no images?

even though I've got a traffic spike after the articles, I wasn't seeing that in the sales... There was no difference. I like the idea of offering the app for free, to see if there's any traction. Thanks!

I've thought about this approach, but wanted to wait until I have a proven concept. Google Docs has lots more users than zoho/office365. I like the idea with affiliate fees. Thanks for the feedback!

wouldn't miss it for anything!
