Finding a “Techie” If you’re a netrepreneur, you’re probably trying to do it all yourself -- heck, most of us have a dozen “how-to” books cluttering up our work spaces at any given time. Today, perhaps, your work plan includes the basics of javascript. Tomorrow, it might

involve CGI and Perl. And so it continues. In fact, at any given time a netrepreneur may feel like... ... a circus juggler! But try as you may, you really can’t do it all yourself. There comes a time when you need a professional -- and you need her NOW! So how do you go about finding your “techie?”... Two ways... 1) Through personal networking -- Ask friends or associates with a site. Phone local non-competitors and ask who they recommend. Visit a local university or college campus. Inquire if any of the profs might be interested in helping you out on a part-time basis. If not, ask for the brightest and most promising student. Post a “help wanted” ad in the cafeteria. Scour your brain for anyone in the biz who may be able to help you. Make a list, and pick up the phone. There’s a gold mine of resources out there! 2) Use one of the many online services springing up to address that very issue... Search for the professionals you need, review their credentials and get feedback from previous employers. Contact professionals who are online. InstantWork tells you how...

Guru.com provides a fantastic service. It allows gurus (techies) to post listings indicating their area of expertise, and rate of pay. There are gurus of all types, shapes, forms, and sizes. From management, marketing, advertising and legal professionals to Web development and creation specialists, you can find them all here! Do a “power search” of the site to locate the “tech support” you need... Guru.com http://www.guru.com/ Guru is highly competitive! I’ve seen graphics professionals advertised for as little as $10 an hour. Since all listings are visible, techies compete amongst each other for your dollars. It’s a buyers market! Of course, the best part is that it doesn’t matter where techies are in the entire world, since most work can be done over the Net! Do a search, identify your techie, drop them a line, make a deal... ... And then you’re sailing!

Miscellaneous Webmaster Resources So, you’ve flexed your... ... programming muscles, and you’re ready to move on to bigger things! Here are two online resources if you want to explore new avenues, or spice up your pages -- a little bit. Again, I must stress this -- don’t get carried away...
