Lately, the feedback has not been good. Some seem to just post rubbish - copy and paste.

You will be surprised to hear this,

- there is no convincing needed from my end. They are hungry for experience and gaining skills
- time-wise, from few hours a week to almost full-time.

If you can't afford paid talent, this is the only game in town. I am trying to use my own product (https://skilledup.life) to prove I can build (https://deallite.uk) into a growing tech startup.

Do the second page they visit is considered as the conversion? Is this using Google Analytics or something else?

How did you work this out?

We are perfectly within UK labour laws. No ideas about the USA.

But this is no different to a friend helping you out. We are just making this volunteer help easy to manage and recognise.

Thanks. Wise words. Right now the focus at https://skilledup.life is to get to 1000 volunteers. In terms of usability, we still suck big time. Not had time to touch it for many months now. I know it can be a thousand times better.

Who are the pretty awesome people who have backed you?

exchanges?

I must be missing something. I have been running tech startups in the UK since 2004 and never seen the term before.
