My first thought on reading this was "wow, two clients a week!"

I've never got to grips with the client acquisition process, it's always been hit and miss and somewhat random for me.

Could someone point me in the direction of a good resource for getting consulting clients on a consistent and repeatable basis?

When I first read the title, I thought there was a magic way to farm out work automatically and live on a 4-hour work-week schedule by using the method. Oh well, I guess I should go back to writing code :)

On a more serious note, I really like this setup. There are a couple of pieces missing such as timesheet integration but it's a good initial setup.

That's a great idea. This should work with Amazon's Mechanical Turk. You'd have to come up with a good idea first and manage the quality well some how.
