The Reverend of Weddings and Car Haggling
One of the most interesting people I've spoken to in recent memory was Reverend Phil Landers (his real name). He's a full-time wedding minister ( http://www.idoweddings.tv ) and a part-time professional auto haggler ( http://www.nomorehaggling.com ). That's right, the reverend will go to the car dealership with you and negotiate a deal on a car!
We discussed his use of Elance, a fabulous resource that lets you post your request for a proposal on a wide range of business projects including Web design, logo design, legal and accounting services. Then, service providers bid on your work. You select a winner, pay them through Elance, and off you go. It cost the reverend just $850 to get his iDoWeddings.tv Web site designed.
Check it out: http://www.elance.com .
 


When the audio archive is posted to the WGN's Technology Tailor web site, it will be added here.
 
Read the Chicago Tribune article, written by Alex Goldfayn, where I first heard about elance.com: "Global Outsourcing for the Little Guy"
 

You can contact my excellent and inexpensive web designer, whom I highly recommend:

•  through elance.com, invite Pingsoft from Shanghai , China to bid

•  or contact them directly at www.EioDesign.com

Tell them Rev. Phil sent you.
