this is in reference to my thread on hiring a designer or company for 120 gallery templates
fucking-around-and-business-discussion/750824-designers-120-fhg-templates.html
Now, I am pretty sure I laid out everything I needed in my post, as in what I need, quantity, link to portfolio's etc. Of course I can't expect a quote with just that information and more information will be required which is fine, and that is why I requested a "ballpark" estimate.
Now I was emailed by a couple design companies, they laid it all out for me, had some questions for me as well, acted professional etc - added them to the list of people to consider
I was emailed by a couple independents that acted professional as well and they laid out all the answers I had requested. - added them to the list of people to consider
And then.. I get flooded (atleast 15 mails) by fucking retards with super cool answers like the following:
-Hey Man I can HOOK YOU UP on your galleries, hit me up on ICQ
-I will do it for 15$ each, hit me up if you want to get it going
-I tried gettin u on icq, no answer, i will do them all for 11$ each (gmail email account)
all of them added to the "retard" list
Now, why would anyone ever want to contact you back if you don't even supply a link to a portfolio or a sample or anything by that means, let alone not answer a few of the questions I had in my post.
It may be porn, but it is still a business. Conduct yourselves like businessmen /women and you will find your self earning more, landing bigger clients/contracts instead of fighting for the 2am odd-job gfy scraps.
thats the end of my rant
i feel much better now
carry on!
