The Making Of Auction Sos Resale Rights Ebook

The project message board allows you to communicate with prospective programmers about your project. The programmer may also want to ask you some questions about the software so that they can bid accordingly, or give advice as to improving your project. It is vital that you read through all messages posted on your project message board. Here is a screen shot of my project message board (see next page) for the Auction SOS! Project. Again, I have blanked out the prices and any private information.

I apologise for the quality of the picture, especially if you have a small monitor! You should be able to make out the text, but its not important if you cant. All I really wanted to show you was a quick screen shot of the message board.

As I said previously, this is a place for you to get to know your programmers. Make sure that you ask them any questions you may have BEFORE you accept any bids. It's no good starting the project and then finding out that the programmer doesn't understand a certain part of your specification. I also find it very helpful to ask for examples of the programmers past projects as this gives you an idea of the quality of the programmer and the sort of projects they have worked on previously. If they have worked on similar projects in the past then there is a good chance they will do a good job with your project.

It's also important to look at the prices you are being quoted by the programmers. You should find that the prices are within a similar region. If you find that one programmer has made a bid with a really high price then it may be worth sending them a message via the project message board asking them if they would consider lowering their price to fall in line with the rest of the bids. This has worked for me on a number of different occasions.

Once you have communicated with the programmers about your project it's time to accept a bid. Use the methods I described above and choose the programmer that you think will provide you with a high quality application within your specified budget. Once you have accepted the bid from a programmer you will each receive the other's contact information. This is the first time in the project that you will be given the programmer's details (everything beforehand needs to have been discussed on the project message board).

In my experience, when a programmer gets your contact details they will send you an email with a brief outline of what they will be doing, how long it will take and which payment method they prefer etc. I can't really give you much advice in this regard as it all depends on how your selected programmer chooses to work. I find it a good idea to ask for “project updates” once a week from your programmer, that way you can keep track of their progress and address any concerns that may arise.
