Whats up with

[vBTotal]

Whats up with people only wanting to pay $10-$20 for a lot of hard work? The past few people on the service requests are either wanting to pay that or nothing. I talked to one guy who needed a style with flash, graphic heavy style, and he said he will pay $5, anyone else noticing this?

Unfortunately that's the way the industry is going for low-end freelancers. There are now millions of other people who can do design/programming/coding and the competition has resulted in prices going down.

$5 for a style is ridiculous though

You get what you pay for to be honest..

For $5, I may just about force myself to make a new banner for them or something.

alot of people just dont think when their online doing buisness especially online. That low of money for a style, that person must be some 10year old doing buisness which got himself ripped off. Pretty much stupied like a bum standing in the middle of a highway with a sign. "Will work for any pay"

Most funny are the request:

"Need some hacks installed, some new styles, Articles, Shop and CMPS installed. Willing to pay $5-10. VB STAFF ONLY PLEASE!."

theirs just less money available, plus alot of half assed coders.

Well i am just a beginner in vBulletin/php/html. Was introduced (sucked into ) the world of administring boards recently. Didn't know how to code 1 line of html or php.

Learned what i know today (and i feel like it isn't much yet) by reading vB sources, other hacks, etc. Starting with modifying some existing hacks, then slowly writing my own.

Most of what i have done until wasn't written to make available in public. Have just yesterday released a beta of my first public hack yesterday on vbulletin.nl, afer a request that was made here. Will try to make some improvements to that tomorrow, so i can release it here.

Nothing special i think, most people can learn what i have learned in the past few months, if they only would take the time and the interest to learn somehting themself, instead of always relying on others

Hehe, better stop now

PS By looking at problems others have and trying to find a solution, i only learn more myself.

Time is money, and if you can find somebody to do a job for you it might be "cheaper" then doing it yourself (if you don't have the knowledge yet)
