TL;DR: Built a simple web app product, can't get it off the ground. Help!
To give context to this question, allow me to explain my situation.
I have been working as a freelance developer for a few years now and at times the work load gets a little difficult to handle.
That's when I hop on to websites like freelancer.com and upwork to find a few other freelancers to help me out.
The results have been really bad, bad quality developers at extreme rates cause they have have paid accounts.
Somehow, on multiple occasions I've managed to find skilled and in-budget developers on craigslist.
I presume this is because of craigslist's dead simple methodology and lack of rating systems or paid accounts.
Taking this into consideration, I built a little web app called FreelanceList.in (http://freelancelist.in/ still in beta.. or alpha-ish) thats follows the craigslist philosophy but focuses on freelancers.
Now the current situation is that I'm not able to get freelancelist.in off the ground!
I'm good at building products with a team but have no experience with branding or promotions.
The projects I work on as a freelancer usually have an active audience or a good brand value hence, I have no idea about launching this off the ground.
What do you think should be the next step ?
While you're at it, please leave a feedback too :)
Thank you!
