[consulting] Contracted Help (As Needed Basis)

[David Hazel]

On the flip side of things, we built a client rating prototype in drupal
about 6 mos ago

http://www.clientrating.com/

Not much traffic and the initial response from SeaDUG was basically, "I'm
not sharing my good clients, and I don't want to publicly discuss the bad
ones."

I think much of this just gets spread via word of mouth, kind of like how my
business grows, not a very complicated plan, but it seems to work.

my 2 cents.
