<br>
I'd like to pay a busy WP developer in links. I'm just now setting up my
portfolio/website, but when I'm done I'll charge a straightforward streamlining
flat-rate 297 for a fully customized wordpress theme. Don't worry, this isn't
an ad for my serives, I know you guys don't need the design work. I want
something from you: If you find yourself turning customers away because they
want to pay you chicken feed (200 or so bucks) for a custom WP design I'd like
to be your man.<br>
<br>
I'll pay in links, meaning I'll be linking to you in the footer for any
keywords you like, as well as in the designs I do for clients that aren't
linked to you. For example, if I do two designs per week, then you'll get two
site-wide links per week for any keywords you want to any website you want.
I'll give you credit for the design. This is, of couse, only for people you'd
turn down anyway.<br>
<br>
Just remember me if you ever need to turn someone down. I'll turn the lose-lose
situation into a win-win. I'd appreciate any feedback or suggestions.<br>
<br>
(As I finished this, I realize that it might be considered spam...It isn't,
given that I have services that only a WP pro can give me, and I'm willing to
pay. Sooo.)<br>

I'm not completely sure if this is allowed, though I can't think of any reason
it wouldn't be, considering I'd like to pay a Wordpress professional. But
anyway, without further ado:<br>
<br>
I'm looking for a Wordpress developer who can't handle any more work and would
like to have targeted links. I'd be interested in paying you in links for every
referral, supposing you send at least one or two per week. The payment will
simply be the inclusion of a link to anything you'd like in the footers of
web-sites that I'll be design. I'm still putting my site together (I just decided
to try my hand at freelance after doing customizations for my own websites
forever), but let me know if you're interested. I charge $297 for a 100%
customized wordpress design, so if you can<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
