Idea about making free lancer website
Hi Experts,
I am looking some idea how to make a website of freeLancer projects like ODesk or elance, where people can post projects and programmers can bid. and employer can pay through paypal to programmers.
I am java/J2ee programmer and know little about php. I am thinking to make something in spring/hibernate and mysql.
Also considering wordpress to customize project as post etc. Any idea or guide line about initial structure about the project?
Thanks.

With an already over populated market; how do you intend to get enough market share to pay for the project, let alone make a profit?
The best suggest I can give you is to do some market research and then after you find out how bad your idea is look around for something that is needed and not available on the internet.

I agree with you guys. Thanks for correcting me.
Just a general question and very high level point of view; (I will do my research too) , which are of technology you think one should focus as new comer in business world like mobile development, ecommerce, seo etc.

You should focus on technologies that already compliment your knowledge base. So if your core competency is Java programming, look for things that naturally dovetail with that which are thriving or emerging markets. Android Mobile App development, for instance.
If you merely attempt to glom onto the current fad, you run the risk of building a business around a product or service that will not be around in a few years and/or you will be forced to learn/adopt a technology you have no real experience with and put yourself at a vast disadvantage.
I would stress one other thing: learn to write and speak well. People do want to hire talented coders but you have to make the human connection prior to demonstrating your skills. Your two posts in this thread are riddled with typos and grammar problems. If any such thing found its way into my inbox as I was looking to hire, I would delete without a second thought or regret.

I wouldn't hire you anyway. I know you too well :p
Why do you think such a site is necessary when ODesk, eLance, and Fivrr have done the market to death?
Perhaps come up with a more original idea?
