			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today’s increasingly diverse online marketplace, the chance for an individual to make money selling their skills or creations is becoming increasingly prevalent.  However if you are just stepping into the realm of online freelancing, or are just beginning to look for somewhere to sell your skills where do you go?  How to begin to build relationships and communication with potential clients? <a href="http://forums.digitalpoint.com" target="_blank">Digital Point Forums</a> offers just the answer to those questions.  Digital Point Forums (DP) allows the sale and trade of all sorts of online services and creations from scripts and themes, to websites, to services such as forum posting or article creation.  This article will explore some of the features of the forum, as well as how you can utilize the forum to become a more successful freelancer.</p>
<p><strong>I want to sell my websites</strong></p>
<p>Within the forum you have many options including “Buy, Sell, or Trade”.  This subtopic of the larger Business topic is the place where you can see all the topics of how to potentially make money of find services on DP.  If you’ve got a website you want to sell, then you would navigate to the “Sites” sub-topic.  When selling a website there are several pieces of information which you want to list in your thread.</p>
<p>Information for Sale of Website<br />
Web URL<br />
Length of time you’ve owned the site<br />
Site Description<br />
Any potential revenue the site may earn<br />
Opening bid price with bid increment rate<br />
Duration of auction<br />
Buy it now price, the price you want to sell the site immediately</p>
<p>Selling a site on DP offers you many advantages to trying to sell on alternatives such as craigslist or eBay.  On DP you are selling within an environment where a large portion of your potential customers are informed individuals.  If you want to sell your site, look some something similar which has sold in the past.  DP is great at determining the true value of what your site may sell for.  Also an advantage to selling to a user on DP is that DP uses the iTrader rating method to score individuals in the marketplace.  The higher an individual’s iTrader value, the more reputable within the marketplace this individual is.</p>
<p><strong>I’ve got skills to sell<br />
</strong><br />
Another way to utilize the DP marketplace is by selling your skills.  Also within the “Buy, Sell, or Trade” forum is a sub-topic called “Services.”  If you are looking to market your design, coding, writing abilities this is where you create a thread.    Each of the services I listed has its own respective sup-topic where you should create the thread.  If you browse the forums you will that there is normally generally accepted common values placed on skills and services.  Unless you can properly qualify yourself, you more than likely will not find you will be very successful if your pricing or timing standards are higher than the norm.</p>
<p>In these forums you normally create a thread stating the sale of your desired service.  You list any qualifications you feel would make you a more suitable than your competition, and if applicable show samples of your work.  Also in some cases an individual will post the rate at which they charge for their services.  While there is no bidding in this section for services, it helps your image to have members who have employed you to give recommendations to you on your thread to bolster your credibility.</p>
<p>So to conclude, Digital Point Forums offer a range or ways for an individual to enter the online marketplace and begin freelancing their skills.  The two money making opportunities discussed were just a sample, and DP in fact offers many more ways for make money within its “Buy, Sell, or Trade” marketplace.  By creating a relationship with members and being a reputable seller your iTrader value will go up and your value to the community is something that can be publicly quantified making others more apt to use your skills.  Good luck, and happy freelancing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am going to offer free wordpress themes for download here on the blog. I have had 5 themes developed and I will give them away for free here but also use them as a base in some of my own and my customers sites.</p>
<p>I will release the first theme here soon we just have some small corrections to make. The process of making some of these has been quite long since we have worked hard to make the code validate and be built for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_web">semantic web</a>. To get help I have had my friend and semantic web consultant Sebastina Silfverstierna guide me in how a web site should be built.</p>
<p>Keep your eyes open for these free wordpress themes. They will be availble here on the blog on the page Wordpress themes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A small update to let you know what I have been up to the past weeks.</p>
<p>I have started to focus more on the Swedish market lately and I have a few projects that I am going to launch over a small period now.</p>
<p>One project I have had developed it a price comparison site that compares price between service providers. I have written about this project before and now it is nearing completetion. Currently working on making SEO friendly URLs to get some help when working with SEO later. After that the software is done and I can start selling the concept to the service providers. It will be fun to see the reactions when I release it. The first niche is Accountants. </p>
<p>Another project that has been laying around for a while now is Experterna (the experts), which is a sort of questions and answers site. I have decided to try and sell this now to get some funds for my biggest project Bloggsponsor.</p>
<p>To tell you more about Bloggsponsor, it is a marketplace that connects bloggers and advertisers. This is a real big one and I am counting on some heavy investments both from me and some investment companies before this one is up an running. Our first aim is the Scandinavian market and then UK is the next step. I will tell you more about this in coming post since this project is hotter than ever now. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been working quite hard lately and really got things done. Unfortunately I have not been able to release the sites I have planned for the different reasons. Everything gets delayed. My bigggest problem now is that I have no graphic designer and css coder with the skills I am looking for and in the price level I am looking for. Because of this I am doing some stuff myself and that means that the quality is not as good and the time I should spend making money I am designing. Not good.</p>
<ul>
<li>I have started to do some small design changes to the price comparison script I recently got developed. Unfortunately dreamweaver is crashing each time I am opening a file called header.php. I mean this might sound crazy. But any file named header.php makes the program crash.</li>
<li>A questions and answers site I have hade developed are now very near its release. We have had some problems with the payment integration but are now on are way to solve it with some help from our service provider.</li>
<li>I am also working on a big project which is a sort of marketing tool for advertisers that wants to advertise on blogs.  It is called Blogsponsor and we are working hard now to release it as soon as possible. This project will be aimed mostly to European markets with Scandinavia as our first.</li>
<li>I am about to close a deal on an office here in my home town. It is around 25 kvm big and the cost is no more thatn $200 per month.</li>
</ul>
