Community Spotlights - Get Involved
on Thu, 2008-03-06 18:46. News There are 2 new ways for users to get involved in the Community.
Feature a Website
It's time to show off your results. Many buyers come to oDesk for skilled Web designers, and plenty of fantastic sites have been launched as a result of their work. We're putting up a page (coming soon) linking to great websites designed by oDesk providers, so if yours is one of them, send us the link!
Getting featured on oDesk means you'll gain access to over 3.5 million page views per month. You'll be seen by the oDesk community, and having more links and more traffic to your site never hurts. Email the link to websites at odesk.com and keep an eye out for the upcoming launch of our web design spotlight page.
Talk about oDesk
We hope you love oDesk - we know some of you do because we've seen your blog or forums posts. We want to reward you for spreading the love, and to do that we're launching a new initiative celebrating your efforts. Every month, we'll post the top entries here in our community forums and on our own blog.
What you can do: When you blog about oDesk, send us a link. All you need to do is mention oDesk in any online context - a blog entry, a post on a forum, etc. - and send a link and your oDesk username to buzz at odesk.com
What we'll do: We'll feature our favorite posts prominently in the buyer newsletter, putting your name in front of more than 20,000 buyers. And our favorite posts each month - including the featured entry - will receive oDesk T-shirt gift certificates and will be highlighted in our blog and forum.
The first group of favorite entries will appear next month, so start posting!

Exactly!

yes For instance I've had several clients hire me strictly for content. They don't always use oDesk for design for instance :) You can see some of the examples in my portfolio...
Featuring websites
on Wed, 2008-03-12 15:54.Content is ok too! What we'd ultimately like to feature on here is a listing of work done on oDesk.
So it would be much like an individual portfolio. The final listing will most likely contain:
Thumbnail of buyer's website, link to site, provider names and links that worked on the site, and the type of work completed.
It would be great if you could contact the buyers and ask them to submit the site to websites @ odesk dot com.

What about!
