This is my favorite genre of HN post: news you can use backed by real experience. I don't necessarily agree with all of the advice but a few bits in there are eyeopening for me. (For example, I had never known that the newsletter was a key channel for getting your project seen. That's the sort of non-obvious insight that is worth its weight in gold.)

Thanks Max.

Well, not just newsletters. I still subscribe to the RAC RSS feed even though I haven't done any RAC work for quite a while. It was easier to just skim the headlines in my reader and tag the ones i replied to for later reference.

It has nothing to do with the newsletter. But setting too low a price gives the message that you're not serious about the work or are just trying to find someone to take advantage of(and you will if that's what you're looking for).
