I think a lot of people in the forum could benefit from a freelancers section. Both those looking for work and those seeking help.

What does everybody else think about this request?

Hmmm, well...I dunno - the place is about making money, not really designing and what not...but you never know. I'd think that freelancers can still advertise/sell here in the Advertise It! section, and if the demand becomes great enough for a freelancing section, then maybe it shall be created?

The staff might want to steer clear of your typical webmaster, design, etc. subjects though and focus on money.

Agreed. There are only a tiny amount of conversations about money making. Everything I see seems to be people posting in the introduction or chat boards.

Most webmasters need freelancers to make money and most freelancers need webmasters to make money. There will be money exchanging hands with a freelancers section. Both webmasters and freelancers will benefit from it IMO.

I will keep this in mind as we continue to grow.

A freelance section may be good, however only if it was people looking to be hired. Not actually selling stuff as there's many forums for that already and even then the quality of such work isn't too great.

It will be needed soon. I could use this already. Maybe just adjust the Buy & Sell forum to Advertising or something more general. Or possibly even subforums within that forum?

Yes, the staff and I are currently brainstorming how best to set up the Buy & Sell area. Please be patient.

Yep maybe a sub forum could be used under the buy and sell forum for a freelance forum.
