Re:How I Built a $5k/mo Side Project in 5 Months on Sunday August 30, 2015 @03:12PM (#10144204)
Great read.

I found it very interesting in how this might scale for you. Is it possible to continuously source, say 2000 leads/month for your clients?

Some further questions.

1. What process do you go through to both source the contacts, and to verify their quality (e.g UpWork team to scrape etc.)

2. Have you any feedback on how successful this has been for clients (e.g response rates)

Good luck with this, and really hope it works for you.

There are two conflicting call to actions on top of each other (app store & scroll)

You don't have to have lots of scroll to communicate your message.

Best completely depends on your use case.

My advice is to try a few and run your typical project scenarios through them and decide which is the best fit for you and your team.
