I have a question about your perspective's on this particular strategy.
Think any company that provides a service from an office.
Example: Web Developers.
Reference to that example.
Elance | Outsource to freelance professionals, experts, and consultants - Get work done on Elance
Ok so here is the question. Obviously when you are trying to start a site like elance it takes traction and there is no real revenue source unless its a lead gen model. (monthly fees is tough at start).
Is it smart to build a site like this and utilize the leads? Users sign up looking for web developers on elance. Now what if elance called me an hour after and told me they also did web development blah blah.
I think this is smarter than just being another web development company trying to get leads on some random landing page. Although i understand elance's model right now is smart, during the real start of phases of companies like this is it a good idea to provide any service you can to people signing up just to make some money?
Do not just think web developer think about a site like this for a loan officer and such. Instead of looking like you are just trying to make money, you are opening the doors to any service provider buuut you have first dibs on the leads.
