then what about a video spec?

One new oDesk buyer used a short video to explain the requirements for her fixed price job.

She needs someone that knows Joomla, is looking to spend around $100, and has received 5 candidates so far.

Being a good project manager is a lot about being a good communicator - so we think this is a great idea.

By the way, we also used Camtasia (the video capture software used above) to make our demo and our video tutorials.

We certainly think so and so does our friend, Jeff Leventhal (the founder of OnForce), who set-up this group on person-to-person lending site Prosper.

Note the following in the “Loan Listing Requirements” section:

To have your listing endorsed by the group leader, please contact me. For endorsement I will ask you to email me copies and IT industry certification, recent pay stubs and W2’s as well as three independent personal references. Good ratings on systems like OnForce and Odesk matter as well. Endorsements are important as they help increase lender confidence and help your listing get funded.

The logic makes sense to us as we’ve seen that members with good feedback consistently earn more and find jobs more quickly.
